That was a strawman point, and exposed as such.
I'm sorry that I misunderstood you. I stand corrected. Interpreting the message of parodies is probably not one of my strong points. I honestly thought you were talking about the demonization of nazis, rather than the banning of User:Amalekite.
The issue was about banning *one* user, who edited disruptively, targetted a list of Wikipedians for attack, and said pretty nasty and vile things about them in particular, and Jews in general.
He did not edit disruptively. Anything else he may have done happened off Wikipedia. Some participants in this discussion are of the opinion that no off site actions should be taken into account in the banning of Wikipedia users. Among the reasons that have been mentioned is that we can rarely be completely certain that a Wikipedia user is identical to a person posting on another site. Another reason is that the content of such sites can change quickly, making review of decisions based on it difficult. A third reason is that it can be a daunting task to read through off site forums for evidence in such a case, especially if the forum in question contains material which many Wikipedians are likely to find distasteful.
I'm personally 99% certain that User:Amalekite is the same person as the Frank Sinatra poster on the Stormfront forums (rather than just pretending to be the same person). That poster did compile a list of Wikipedians - but not for attack, as far as I can see. His own words are:
"Monitor the activities of the first 5 on the list (watch their user contribution pages and their user talk pages) and you'll have a good idea of what the entire gang is up to."
Nevertheless I can understand that people might be uncomfortable with having their user page on such a list in that particular forum.
The Frank Sinatra poster certainly did say nasty things about the Wikipedians on the top of his list - calling them "ruthless and vicious" among other things. He also made some more general remarks on Jews but I don't feel that's relevant.
