Nothing in the actual text of the statement is objectionable in itself

Very good...

but when taken as a whole it is a license to reject out of hand anything one doesn't agree with by assigning to the opposing argument one of the labels in the text as unacceptable, or alternatively, claiming it is opposed to one of the labels in the acceptable column.

That doesn't follow. If Items A, B and C taken separately are reasonable, then A, B and C together are likewise reasonable. You are rejecting them "taken as a whole" because of your feeling that the intention is to dismiss opposing arguments out of hand.

If you want to avoid having your arguments dismissed, then stick to the facts and present your views without name-calling, personal attacks, impugning the motives and positions of those who disagree with you, etc. Really, asking for civil discourse shouldn't be so objectionable.

Why doesn't anyone want a fact-based discussion of the parallels to the T-4 program? Don't I have any takers for a rational, logical comparison of two systems under which a government has put citizens to death by means of starvation?

I'm sure you could present a well thought-out comparison between them. If you stick with the facts and avoid calling people "pro-death" or "nazis".

I disagree entirely with your analysis. In practice these seemingly fair rules are not equitably applied, giving an unfair result. Having seen these same types of reasonable guidelines before from the liberals, and then the result that they are applied only where a conservative says something a liberal doesn't like, the abstract fairness of the guidelines is moot. And, having seen that such guidelines are regularly implemented with this as the intended result, it is reasonable to suspect that these guidelines, too, will be adjudicated in the same way.

To prove this I point to my removed comment #2, and the many, many ad hominem attacks against me on this thread that were not removed.

Oh, by the way, I have not called anyone on this thread either "pro-death" or "Nazi". The "Good Germans" weren't Nazis, they were the average volk who went along to get along and didn't raise a stink about the stink of burning bodies.
