I did the same thing years ago. I’ve been banned from “stormfront” several times, when I tried using reason and logic; it was a hopeless endeavor. I believe most of those neo Nazi cowards are teenagers living in their parent’s basement.

I never posted to Stormfront, but I debated its regulars on Usenet.I had no illusions about winning over the committed bigots, but I wanted to keep the lurkers out of their grasp -- they, like most people wedded to bad ideas, have arguments that seem superficially sound if there's no one around to challenge them. I considered it my job to expose them as idiots.

I think you are right. Years ago, when I was in highschool, there was this big kid (maybe he faild some grades?) who was a sadistic bully. He was infamous for delivering a neoNazi speech in the middle of a class one day and it was rumored that he carried a knife (not a pocket knife). All of us students were afraid of him and I think the adults were afraid of him, too. Once he hit me as we were passing in the hallway. I complained but as far as I know the school did not do anything. He was in school that one year but not the next so maybe the school let him pass whatever grade he was in and then quietly got rid of him. But yes, I think "kids" who are bullies and sadists tend to gravitate to that neo Nazi crap, based on my experience with that one bully. I am not saying he was as crazy as this killer but he sure was a bully who enjoyed violence at least to some level.
