It violates rules 1

Of course it does, that's a completely terrible rule. By restricting accusations of racism, you're blocking yourself from racist conspiracies which are actually pretty common historically. There was the Dreyfus affair, which was a conspiracy to blame a Jewish soldier for treason actually carried out by a French officer, and the Munich Beer Putsch could also be counted as a racist conspiracy.

Evidence calls for evidence. The fact you've professed you "don't care about the Holocaust and no else should today" is pretty damning in light of becoming a mod at /r/holocaust. Especially after all my links were removed and I was banned.

That's the point. The hero of free speech who doesn't allow himself to be criticize seems very contradictory.

It might be sensationalist, but it's accurate. Plus I'm pretty sure this rule is hardly ever enforced.

Yes, I've heard you're all about free speech

This isn't how this rule works, this is a rule that prohibits users from accusing other users of racism. A post about a non-user being racist or part of a racist conspiracy would be perfectly acceptable, which is why I have allowed this post of yours to stand. Because even though it is wrong, it is hilariously on topic.
Rule 9 is in place to stop these metareddit brigades which is basically all you have done with your life for the last 3 days. So i'm fairly confident that this post will be brigaded because of all the other brigades you have initiated in the past three days, they all TIE together.
Rule 10 is in place because of constant disruptive behavior that comes from people who "don't like people to be allowed to talk about this stuff"
Rule 11, it sure is sensationalist. It may be accurate if you only are willing to look at things thru the perspective of a person who thinks any discussion about the holocaust that isn't 100% worshiping the official story, is somehow racist or antisemitic. ITS NOT
I am all about free speech, you can point to a comment graveyard that someone else created in a sub that I have been a mod of for 3 days and blame me for all your problems. That doesn't change who I am.
Good luck with your witch hunt.
