For awhile one of my students was being targeted by Stormfront members, and I was assigned to monitor the site. It was an unenjoyable learning experience.

Update: I made a mistake with the time stamp of the browser history list. It was entirely my history list all along, there is no indication that she ever visited Stormfront.

I’m amazed at my own stupidity.

I’m actually quite happy about this. Even though I wouldn’t want to be judged for doing research @ [Stormfront.org](http://Stormfront.org), I don’t know if I could extend the courtesy of not judging another if I knew they frequented that site. I would think less of her if I thought she was racist.

As someone who sometimes has a tin ear for irony, may I ask you to point out the irony in **LavenderBlue** ’s comment?

I never heard of Stormfront but I was curious on what it was and I must say that place is very disturbing.

So you are saying you visted Stormfront “for research”?

I think at this point we all roll our eyes and make hasty assumptions about you.

I thought it was a site that was like a rival to this place. I’m pretty new to the internet. I’m not judging anyone for visiting the place but some of the things I read are pretty disturbing.

Like I said, I went there because I didn’t know what it was. I wasn’t making any assumptions about anyone visiting the place either. It’s their business not mine. I really don’t know why you would make a post like this.

I wasn’t serious. I was taking a dig at those who made the same assumptions about the OP
