So, for example, we could expect that a gratuitous posting comparing
"The Great
Global Warming Swindle" to denial of the Japanese bombing Pearl Harbor
would
fall foul of this rule?
Or is there a sliding scale? Perhaps its not seen in the same light as
Holocaust Denial
and therefore should be taken as a ribald knockabout comment?
I've actually been to the US Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor - its
wall covered in the names
of the fallen (and latterly some of the survivors who decided to be
buried with their comrades).
It had a profound effect upon me in conveying how terrible were the
events of that day.
I'm sure that their sacrifice would surely have been ennobled by their
use with a discussion of
climate science in the 21st Century.
Bravo!
