We're not here to get insight from interactions with Nazis or anyone else, we're here to write an encyclopedia. If we need insight about Nazis to improve Wikipedia articles, then we should get it from the many, many published works about Nazis and not from having chats with them (which would be original research anyway). We're not here to convert Nazis to sanity with Wikilove either. While I admire anyone stubborn and capable enough to try to save a racist, that's simply not our job. We're here to write Nazis should be banned not just because they are a particularly nasty form of human virus, but because they will inevitably interfere with our goals. They will waste the time of editors who must undo their vandalism, argue with them, explain the rules, do research to refute their crackpot nonsense, etc., etc. We're here to write accurate, NPOV encyclopedia articles, and anyone who interferes with that goal should be booted, including Nazis, vandals, trolls, social experimenters, and Anonymoose. Michael Turley michael.turley at gmail.com: As much as we dislike their views, it is likely that Nazis and neo-Nazis will give us better insight into their own views, and improve the articles related to those viewpoints. Geoff Burling llywrch at agora.rdrop.com: What's the best that can happen? Maybe this Neo-Nazi isn't as firm in his beliefs as he might think -- or simply has never been exposed to other people different from him -- & his experience on Wikipedia convinces him to abandon these beliefs. ____________________________________________________ Start your day with Yahoo! - make it your home page http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs
