Never Forget the 761!

163 words

We-Will-Never-Forget [1]The original Occidental Observer comment thread from my essay “Dealing with the Holocaust [2]” got up to 761 comments. It was deleted more than three years later by Kevin MacDonald, who wanted to get rid of unmoderated, crank- and troll-riddled comment threads. One can, however, read it on Archive.org’s Wayback Machine [3]. The snapshot of June 26, 2015 is the last one containing the thread. 

I in no way object to Kevin MacDonald’s decision, since the comments were always available at Archive.org. I am posting a link here [3] for two reasons. First, I am quite pleased with this discussion thread. Yes, there are negative comments, but they are ably rebutted by me and by other readers. Second, the removal of the comments has allowed the mendacious and mentally ill to stir up drama about them. Now you know where to find them. So read and judge for yourself. The comments are in reverse order, with the latest ones on top. Enjoy!
