For the record... let's stay away from comparing the mods to Nazi's "banning" Jews.  If you want to call me a Nazi, fine, whatever, I've been called much worse (that actually brings some humorous stories to mind), but when you say that the banning of Libertas is like the Nazis banning Jews, you have crossed a serious line that is extremely offensive and demeaning to the Jews who went through the Holocaust.

The specific post I'm referring to said, "Saying that it's 'Dave's board and Dave's rules' isn't really a justification for supporting the ban.  It's like saying you support the 'banning' of Jews during World War II because it was 'Hitler's Germany and Hitler's rules.'"

Morgan may say that he wasn't comparing it to the Holocaust, but when I see somebody talking about "the banning of Jews," that's what it sounds like to me... and that won't be tolerated.

Sure it's Hyperbole. Hyperbole by definition is using exaggerated humor to prove a point, which people are doing.

But it wasn't humorous.  It was stupid and offensive.  I don't care if you want to call it hyperbole or something else, if people are going to compare what we are doing to the historical events of the killing of innocent people, those posts will get deleted.
