It doesn't matter where exactly really. It's to engage in a discussion and "spread the word" in a way. I can assure you that even in this forum it is working. I have most certainly taken notice of some members that have showed signs of curiosity. They just won't come out in the open about it. Then there are many more "lurkers" which leads to my other reason. This forum is a fairly popular one and shows up prominently in google searches and that I post here specifically in these forums understanding the potential broad reach. That is to say my reasons are for everyone else.
OK, so you're admitting you're proselytising, sort of, and hoping to appeal to 'lurkers' or indirectly to google searchers.
How effective do you think you are when you make such basic errors as admitting not knowing that Auschwitz was also a labour camp?
You also sort of need revisionists coming to post here don't you think? Or else it dies like that Rodoh forum.
No, I don't
need deniers coming here, any more than I
need deniers to turn up at RODOH.
I'm on public record, quoted in a newspaper, stating that denial is in decline, and I base that assertion on the fact that in observing this peculiar little scene for several years, there are actually very few of you. Even CODOH forum sees barely 50 posters/month, RODOH at its peak had maybe a dozen/month, on here we have about half a dozen (versus nearly 27,000 registered members, and nearly 3,000 active members).
And it's virtually always the same people, since they recycle their usernames or can be identified by what they say on one forum about another forum as the same people.
In total, there are not more than 100-200 people who post on the internet in English who advocate denial in 'conventional' locations. On a month by month basis, there are less than 100.
There are somewhat more who would consider themselves revisionists or deniers - cute how the current internet warriors so often embrace the term that a previous generation avoided - on white nationalist and neo-Nazi forums, with a smaller cadre - still very small though - on loony sites like the David Icke forum.
In both examples, revisionists who are OBVIOUSLY white nationalists or neo-Nazis or who OBVIOUSLY embrace lunatic-fringe conspiracy theories are simply shooting 'the cause' in the foot by associating this supposedly serious idea with partisan fringe politics and with uter batcrap craziness.
Unfortunately for the 'cause', a significant number of the c. 100 revisionists who post on CODOH or in 'conventional' forums like this one, are also obviously members of the partisan fringe or simply batcrap crazy.
As has been pointed out above by others and by myself, the level of historical knowledge displayed by the circa 100 'revisionists' on here and elsewhere not posting on Stormfront or David Icke forum is utterly abysmal. Maybe a dozen have realised it might be a good idea to read some books and learn about what it is they supposedly are disputing. The other 90% think it's a clever idea to regurgitate the dumbest of memes like 'six million gassed' or expose themselves as hopeless ignoramuses incapable of even reading a Wiki page.
Every year, maybe a few people fall down the rabbit hole, despite literally thousands of newspaper articles mentioning this thing called Holocaust denial, and literally thousands of links on the internet offering denier books and articles for free download or online perusal. I'm not sure that there is much difference in effectiveness between denier propaganda and Viagra spam.
