Actually, if you read ninuu's original post, you could see other examples nearby. And in the context he wrote about Hitler, I see it as completely acceptable and actually quite useful to the OP - he could learn a lot from it.But if you decide that Hitler is bad and that his biography shouldn't be used as an example, then well, that is your paradigm. But since there is a relative freedom of speech on these forums, I do not see anything wrong in it and really do not understand your complaining.
In essence, this discussion developed from complaining, not from praising Hitler or something similar, since ninuu never mentioned anything like that, but merely listed Hitler's biography in context with other biographies.
Totally agree
Ninuu posted a great reply, and some close minded guy flamed him for mentioning Hitler as an interesting historical figure together with several others which is just ridiculous.
Like Schnitzelfisch i just want an open debate that acknowledges that things aren't black and white.
If you can't suppress your urge to yell "nazi!" long enough to realize that Ninuu wasn't referring to Hitlers views as something to strive for then you're ruining the dialogue.
:facepalm:
