Will I be disrespected, open to ridicule, derision or any kind of unkind or hateful remarks or treatment from any quarter?
By you or anyone you know who maybe waiting to ponce on me.

You can ultimately believe what you want. I do not know what you refer to in the second part (the anti holocaust denial laws maybe?). However if you present or promote arguments which I view to be flawed, false, or inaccurate, I will certainly engage you on those arguments. I have no problem with honest debate, the problem though is most holocaust deniers in my experience do not wish to enter into honest debate. They have an agenda they wish to promote, and it frequently hinges around antisemitism.
The holocaust is something I have done a lot of personal research into, as it is something I do not understand and found hard to believe in fully. I reference Nizkor, as their information to the best of my own knowledge is accurate and honest, but it is not my sole source of information, not by a long shot. It is however easily accessible by everyone.
Ultimately it is up to you to decide if you wish to research the subject yourself, and do so in an honest unbiased fashion.
Spewing hate speech or other such nonsense however will get you into trouble pretty fast at Subsim.
PS. for those curious, I am not Jewish. I am however a scientist and do my best to be open-minded to any argument. My training makes it very easy for me to spot the flaws and falsities in the denial literature.
