Sigh. Of course, calling someone a nazi is the classic example of when someone has stepped over the line in an internet debate. Is he a neo-nazi, i.e. a member of a specific party? Unlikely and most certainly not openly. So, unless Stross has proof that VD really is a member of a neo-nazi party, then it most certainly is slander, even if one finds VD's views distasteful.
