'''alt.revisionism''' is a [[Usenet]] [[newsgroup]] intended for discussion of the controversial topic of [[Holocaust revisionism]].  Although the name of the newsgroup suggests that all forms of [[historical revisionism]] can be discussed there, the vast majority of discussion (and flame wars) centers on [[the Holocaust]].

All the information below, completely discounts the fact that much of the "evidence" put by McVey is specious, based mainly on badly or conveniently translated documentation, and eye witness accounts. It is extremely unfortunate, and more than a little dishonest, that alternative evidence, casting doubts on the normative account of events pertaining to the holocaust, is unable to be put, due to the prejudiced view of publishers. 

The newsgroup is noteworthy for sparking one of the most successful and well-known campaigns of ''anti-censorship'' on the Internet.  Because the topic of Holocaust revisionism is so controversial (in fact, it is illegal in several countries), a number of organizations (such as the [[Simon Wiesenthal Center]]) have made attempts to stop Holocaust revisionism by suppressing it.  This campaign has spread to the Internet, where numerous revisionist and [[white nationalist]] Web sites have(contracted; show full)ormation content of ''alt.revisionism'' has dissolved to nearly nil since the advent of the [[World Wide Web]].  However, the flame wars and incessant personal attacks by the revisionist crowd on the newsgroup against the historical evidence of their foes has provided a source of entertainment for many [[kook]] watchers.  Critics of Holocaust revisionism cite ''alt.revisionism'' as an expression of its true face.
