I'm no longer convinced of that. He should be kept in the light where we can see him and respond.

Kept in the outer fringe he will operate in a bubble and the others who are attracted to him will also exist in that bubble. This also means no opposing views to pop that bubble. I actually think this is worse for society overall.

The more light shining on him to keep him honest the better.

Wow, the first link brought up ISIS -- in these Covid 19 times, I have not thought about that/them for some time. The global zeitgeist is a real thing!

If you want to publish his content for him, you can go ahead and do that. But don't complain that other people don't want to.

But then you have the backfire effect. It'd be naive to assume everyone else is or can be as rational as yourself.
