Yeah I have done the same, there are many onservative and even racist forums out there that do respect a good arguement.
But this is Stormfront we are talking about... biggest nuthouse on the planet.

I've posted on right wing forums before and generally found that they debate fairly and well, and respect my views.
I do not agree that such actions are futile, to know the oppositions inside out strengthens my own. If anything I've had folk message me saying that it's a breath of fresh air not to read posts from "ignorant left wing nutters" but rather "fairly considered ideas from someone who has thought their ideology through clearly."
In fact, I've introduced folk from all sorts of forums to my own way of thinking by simply putting my views forward politely, respectfully and intelligently.
My two cents.

Haha, I don't disagree with you on that. With Stormfront you have to know which posters to take seriously and which to laugh at. The 'sustaining members' are generally fair, and the people with the fewest posts are usually the nutjobs, as are the vocal ones. The quieter ones are the more 'normal', if you will.
I'm not discussing with neo-nazis, that's because I don't want that their ideas (racism and 'revisionism' etc.) are legitimate topics to discuss. For me such things are not just an opposite opinion.
Yeah I wouldnt be too keen on talking about Bullshit like holocaust denial.
But an average BNP member wouldnt be talking about that, cos the average BNP member is a racist with fash tendencies, not a full blown fascist.
If the thread was kept to immigration it could be OK. There could even be some common ground, for instance its pretty blindingly obvious that the capitalist class IS supporting mass immigration to the hilt cos it gives them cheap labour.
I have had good luck with that talking to friends with racistish opinions in the past. You give them that and then explain that the answer is not to get rid of the immigrants, but to get rid of the capitalists.
I have commented on BNP blogs before and that sort of approach works wonders. No converts from the BNP ranks but it gets them thinking and sharpens the debating skills.
