I can see where you are going; an email address, a dropbox account, post onto hostile forums with public links to the latest essay, resulting hullabaloo gives mentally ill but very clever person the feeling of involvement, being the centre of something, action. Perhaps saving some injury and lives. Perhaps the valuable arguments get separated from the odd and obsessive context and get taken up more widely, or at least not associated with destructive acts.
The teacher in the article has certainly got his students interested, they meet before the session to work out the arguments to use. Excellent!
The journalist Gitta Sereny writes about evil people to try to understand where the evil comes from, this struck me as similar.
