I'm pretty sure the answer isn't censorship. Whatever happened to "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it"?
I agree with @Dammit - leave it up so everyone can see how fucking stupid Kevin Myers is.
This is the extract from the article in question, it's not exactly holocaust denial.

OK, I will try and make myself clear.
We live in very complex, fast moving times, and I am struggling to make sense of what's going on. So much so, in fact, that I'm probably going to enrol in some form of post-grad study so I can try and get a better understanding of what's happening to the world.
I find that currently, in the public domain, informed debate has been replaced with finger-pointing and sloganeering.
In the case of the Kevin Myers article, I believe he made some sort of link between the religious status of two women, and the gender pay differentials at the BBC. His point may or may not of been anti-semitic, I don't know because the article has been deleted.
So my point, as such, is that I think it may be more dangerous to try and delete history (for all the best intentions), than to engage with the enemy head on.
