Usenet is slowly succumbing to greedy business, censoring politicians, and
and the seemingly over-night disintegration of discourse that leads to
"Hitler" and 'nazi" references at rapidly increasing rates.

Example:

Statement - "I like vanilla ice cream"

Reply - "That's because you are fucking nazi skinhead who doesn't like
anything that isn't white, and you would like to sit on Hitler's moustache."

rebuttal - "I like it with sprinkles some times."

final retort - "homo"
