Links to racist or denial websites

Yup.
You’re not alone, I must have checked out for a number of hours and missed all the fun.
Gosh dog it.

It wasn't up long. Someone called it out. No controversy. LS shut the thread down. Made a comment. Closed it. Updated the AUP. End of discussion. No bans handed out.

Sounds like it was handled appropriately.
I was just goofing around. It’s early on a sleepy Fall Sunday.

I tried to defend you recently and say that you weren't an imbecile. I was wrong to do so, and I won't make that mistake again.
That's part of the reason why stifling speech is such a slippery slope.
My perspective on this would be to allow whackos to post until they try to usurp the board. Most people on this board are pretty good at smacking down nut cases.
Plus, kids need to hear the rational arguments that refute racists and nazis, instead of just blanket statements that they're bad. And the whole "Hitler was good in the beginning" is one of the most insidious.
On the other hand, I'm not a moderator, and I realize they have a very tough job.
Looked like very good reasoning for the rule. The people were the least of his reasons. It is probably best that that thread and link get deleted. There are some things that are clearly over the line. And this isn't a group of mods that you have to worry too much about censorship.
