[Poll #1095097]

You can probably form your own list of views you hold to be odious but it ought to be fairly obvious which ones I'm thinking of.

David Irving does not deserve a fair hearing. He's spent a career using his knowledge and scholarship in the service of nazism and racism. He has made the world a worse place by giving racists and Holocaust deniers a figleaf of respectability. He's long exhausted any reserves of charity that any reasonable person might have for him. The idea that we are supposed to listen to him or debate him fairly, after all he's done, is absurd.
