Misuse comes from the assumption that upon revising history we won't find anything new or different, truth. FYI, I never denied the holocaust, this was simply used to get me to stop questioning another series of events.
The person was getting very violent over the fact that I was questioning what we were told on the news about something that happened last year, so I asked them whether they wanted revision laws created similar to the ones created around the holocaust for this event too.
Then someone else I wasn't even speaking with but saw the public conversation, rushed to my fb wall to tell me just how perverse I am. Then when faced with my reply simply deleted all comments. So glad there's no deleting on Steemit!
