That's only if the book-burner is willing to engage in dialogue. I find that when people say or do indefensible things, you can try to explain why it's wrong, and a lot of times they'll argue that it's not wrong, and repeat the behavior later. As the meme goes, you can't reason someone out of a position in which they didn't reason themselves into.
