A distinction still needs to be made between what is in an article, and 
what is in a user page.  Neo-Nazi propaganda obviously has no role in 
most articles.  If someone feels that he best describes himself by 
appearing in a Neo-Nazi uniform he succeeds in telling a lot about 
himself.  There is a fundamental contradiction when you try to suppress 
Neo-Nazis by emulating their behaviour.
