There is no position that has no place. Everything is possible and should be discussed. Of course, if it is a position that is unfounded on its face, then it can be discussed, but there is no value in it. But if it is a negative position from a moral perspective, this certainly does not rule out discussing it as long as it is reasoned. And especially if there are many good people who hold it and can reason, then it is obvious that it should be discussed. The claims that there are invalid positions that are forbidden to be presented and discussed are themselves invalid (although they should also be discussed). There are no invalid positions for discussion. I would also hold a conference on Nazism, for and against, if I thought there was someone who could reason it well. As an aside, when you hold a conference, it doesn’t mean that experts have added value in the matter. You need to hear different positions, but not necessarily from experts. So even if it’s clear that experts can be wrong, it doesn’t make a difference.
