'''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]].

(contracted; show full)Holocaust revisionism.  Many of their offered documents and pieces of evidence were found to be misstated, poorly researched, and often outright lies and falsehoods.  The revisionists eventually gave up trying to debate the anti-revisionist faction on the newsgroup, and instead they began an ever-increasing number of personal attacks, slanderous (and occasionally libelous) writings and newsgroup postings, and even occasional death threats.

The newsgroup has been the target of several [[denial of service
]] attack]]s, spam floods, and other [[hacking]] attempts.

The information 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.
