1. Don't slippery slope this, we're talking about hate speech.
2. Private company, Reddit can do what they want.
3. Scientologists and Jehovah's witnesses both earned their reputations.

Yeah I'm quite happy in my bubble of civilised, grown-up, non-idiot racists thanks.

I read what you wrote, and I read the whole thread, and the context.
You brought up human rights in the context of this discussion more than once, what else are we supposed to take from that, than that you think 'human rights' are remotely relevant to the topic of banning nazis from reddit, which they aren't.

Please explain what human rights have to do with anything in this thread.
As another commenter pointed out, there is no human right to post racist bullshit on a privately run online forum.

Um, why. What makes you think this. If someone's opinions are stupid and abhorrent, why should they not experience an immediate and firm response, in ban-hammer form.
Why do you want to give ignorant idiots a platform to spread their ignorant idiocy to other ignorant idiots (and e.g. provoke easily influenced mentally ill idiots who might want to drive cars into crowds).
