Because after his hypocrisy & illogic is blatantly exposed,
he'll wait longer before he does it again.

A desire for the common good will keep most men honest, but
the ones that won't need to have their butts kicked once in
a while.

Sorry to disagree, but NOYB wants/needs/depends on somebody debating
him.

The problem isn't that his politics are extremely conservative. I have
been fortunate enough to meet some fine people who are very
conservative, and there are some intelligent and sincere individuals in
that group. The problem is that he dumps his wheelbarrow full of manure
in the NG in the first place. He says, "Go screw yourself if you don't
like it, ignore it." Yeah, well maybe its possible to avoid stepping in
it, but it's harder to ignore the flies it draws or the stench that
permeates the general area, and it encourages the next guy with a
"message" to follow NOYB's lead.

If this sort of topic prevails here, the next thing we know we'll have
all the characters from that neo-Nazi group cluttering up the works
again, and most of the rec.boats regulars will once again be choosing
up sides for the naming and flaming contests.

Why NOYB wants to be part of the problem instead of part of the
solution is a mystery to me, but why encourage him by giving him what
he wants, argument and debate?

Probably so, but I don't think he wants to be shown up so
badly.

His politics aren't conservative at all. They're fascist.
And I don't mean that as an insult, I mean that as per the
dictionary definition of "fascist."

Yep. He's not one of them. Most intelligent people don't put
ideology first, and of course being sincere precludes being
as much of a hypocrit as NOYB is.

In any event, I agree that it's a load of manure, and will stop.
