Godwin Point (i.e. baselessly accusing people of emulating nazi/fascist behavior).
Perhaps we should concentrate on some facts: namely, that person was editing articles related to Jews and heavily pushing certain very specific points of views (holocaust denial) everywhere (even though these points of views were already discussed in relevant pages), including in headlines.
In short, the user was very very probably a troll intent on disrupting Wikipedia.
If you had chosen to look at my whole post rather than just the point that amuses you you would have seen that my reference was ONLY to the picture on his user page. It would be inappropriate for me to comment on the POVs that he expressed on other articles because I have no intention of reviewing them, so I didn't. Nor did I comment on his banning, which may very well be justified by his behaviour. My point was strictly limited to a user's rights to portray himself on his own user page in a manner that best describes him.
And who was "baselesly accused"? Essentially, I was commenting on those who proclaim, "We will not tolerate ..." The Nazis did a very effective job of not tolerating.
