It seems to me the goal is not to ban books like Butz's, but rather to do something about the practice of boosting the boosting 5-star reviews of such books by the step of voting them "unhelpful."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5489793575961502685.post-18772952683903679682009-11-24T18:29:16.366-05:002009-11-24T18:29:16.366-05:00I'm not sure what is being alluded to when you...I'm not sure what is being alluded to when you mention "Polish rebuttals to anti-Polish attacks by certain Jews," but perhaps my colleague, John Guzlowski, who focuses on Polish literature & history in his other blogs, can address your question.Charles Fishmanhttp://www.charlesfishman.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5489793575961502685.post-79160159424193383452009-11-24T09:53:50.579-05:002009-11-24T09:53:50.579-05:00Some good points.

Were not such a fuss made about Butz, no one would've even heard of him. <br /><br />Censorship is dangerous. If Amazon were to remove all Holocaust-denial material, then what else could it remove?
