In reply to your request for aid in "downing" a "facsist site"...

Jabbering God, but the request is an exercise in publically rancid ignorance. I'm hazarding you are under twelve, because the request smacks of a prebubescenct in the feverish grip of a half baked sense of righteousness, armed with the terrifying single-mindedness that can only be mustered by the terminally dumb.

There is little more sickening than an ignorant thug requesting help in an exercise in ad hoc censorship presumably in the name of promoting the ultimate aims of tolerance.

What rankles equally is that there is no reason given. Posting a brazillian link to a Catholic group whose site is in Portugese/Brazillian is fine. But an explanation would be a bare minimum. A translation.

Instead, you posted a one liner, saying, essentially.

"please help us stop these people saying stuff. They don' say nice stuff. And we only want nice stuff what we think is nice stuff to be said on the net"

Screw you hippy.

you dont combat facism by its own methods, encourage debate, read a book or something - learn yourself, draw everone especially extremists into debate instead of them festering away on the edges waiting to strike.

Frankly, I agree with the above comment. To draw out my opinion less frothingly, one must be careful not to become ones enemy in the fight.

The means can too easily infect the end.

Frankly shutting down sites is about as rational as killing every beef cow you can find in the name of militant vegetarianism - "that'll learn em, no way they can eat beef now. The time has come for our war on poultry, wild game, and dogs in Korea. Soon we shall have a world where no-one can eat meat ever again..."
