Yeah, I did that in younger years, when I had more time on my hands. I
used to argue with online neo-Nazis on a daily basis, read their
screeds and dissect them point by point. Anyone so inclined can search
for my e-mail address on Google groups and check out my oeuvre on
alt.politics.white-power. 

It won't be a quick read.

Eventually I learned, in the wisdom that can only be earned through
experience, that trying to wrassle with a pig just makes you dirty, and
the pig enjoys it more often than you do. 

I came to realize that the time I spent arguing with them gave them
more of a slice of my life, and more legitimacy, than they deserved. I
decided that my time was better spent addressing opponents and lurkers
who are at least marginally reasonable. 

Most of my erstwhile opponents apparently saw the same light. The
leading Aryan lights of 1995-6 have, almost to a man, repudiated the
"cause." I won't name them, because I respect their goal of building a
useful life. But the Internet has a long memory, and a determined
researcher won't have to work very hard to come up with names.

If the National Alliance says that ice is cold and water is wet, I
won't believe either without independent corrobboration.

Calling them morons would be a a gross insult to the developmentally
disabled, who might one day learn to tie their shoes and catch a bus.
Calling them shit would be a disservice to feces, which creates an
environment in which something worthwhile can grow. Calling them
assholes would be an insult to anuses. Calling them pricks would be an
insult to penises, to those who have them and to those who enjoy them.

I don't think I've made myself clear enough.

Every electron that zings to or from the National Alliance Web site
would be more productive if it were spent on artificial insemination of
sows. Every molecule of oxygen that passes through the lungs of a
neo-Nazi would benefit the world more if it were breathed by an amoeba.
Every moment of thought devoted to National Alliance propaganda would
be more productive -- or at least lest destructive -- if applied to the
latest season of "Survivor."

If every thought -- and every neural twitch that passes for thought --
spent on the Nazis were devoted to useful pursuits, we'd have cured
cancer by now.
