State Department senior technology adviser Shahed Amanullah told the magazine he wanted to use “logic, humour, satire, [and] religious arguments not just to confront [extremists], but to undermine and demoralize them”.

Does the deployment of logic, humour, satire and religious argument even have much of an effect on the online burblings of so-called regular people, let alone extremist jabberwockys characterised, according to the Wired article as, "massive narcissists [who] need constant ego boosts"?

Could the average forum diva or comment ballerina be fairly described as a moderate narcissist who needs ego boosts of a reasonable frequency? Only our dance instructors know for sure.
