Dura lex, sed lex. Law is hard, but it is the law. "It follows from the principle of the rule of law that even draconian laws must be followed and enforced; if one disagrees with the result, one must seek to change the law."

Although this topic is out of date already, it serves to indicate that many people of the modern era still have not come to accept the principle of nomocracy. You cannot say that being in good faith spares you from punishment. In this case, the American legal systems does not prohibit hate speech, but various other legislations would probably classify your statement as such (I have not seen it). This might be the Althistory Wiki's stance. In this case, you should carefully read all the rules of that wiki, and if, even after you have done so, you did not find yourself having violated any rules, protest to one of the admins.
