I imagine that BNP members are happy to see those of us who are against them spending some of our energy arguing among ourselves.

There are many ways to show ones' distaste for and opposition to this heinous political party. IMO, making reasoned points and sharing text and video documentation are important, and it's also important to forcefully and vehemently express one's views about this group and its members. If all of the comments on this thread were reasoned and lacking emotional expression, I for one would wonder if the posters really felt strongly about how terrible that organization is.

Living as I do in the United States, I first learned about the BNP from reading Mudcat threads. I would remind posters to this thread that-in many ways all the Mudcat threads about the BNP are a continuation of the same thread. While this is the first time that I have posted to a BNP thread, this isn't the first time that many Mudcatters such as Bruce have posted to threads about . It seems to me that rather than labeling his postings on this subject "as repeat[ing] the same shallow profanities over and over again in a mind numbing mantra of self important barking", it would be better to become acquainted with his entire posting history about the BNP.

Furthermore, let me also say that if I ever availed myself of opportunities to address the heinous American hate groups such as the KKK, the White Aryan Nation, and the skin heads, I would wish that I knew far more profanity than I do. IMO, cursing at them would be good for my soul and also would call some folks' attention to the fact that I feel passionately about my hatred and my opposition to these groups and all that they stand for.

That said, I very much hope that our energy on these Mudcat threads is directed against the BNP and other hate groups and not against any of us who are against such groups even if we may disagree with how that opposition is expressed.
