    Banning any book should be a criminal offense.

        I don’t know if you’ve looked through any banned book lists recently but Mein Kampf doesn’t tend to be on them.

            Because it’s a piece of manure. Let people read it, put some comments on it.

            Over here it is not forbidden, but you did not get permission to reprint it…

            It was merely a metaphor for the few numbers of comments needed.
