Net Hate in Neverland

To locals, he's a roadside instutition. But to the Usenet, he's a
monster.

Article Published Sep 21, 2006

When Mickey Ben-Tovim drives by _______Gifts, a small seashell
shop
in
________,
he slows his Ferarri and squints through the windows cluttered
with
conchs
and cowries,
searching for a man he wants dead.

"He's truly one of the more vile individuals you'll ever come
across,"
says Ben-Tovim, an
Israeli-born Sarasota computer programmer.

"I have on occasion thought about causing him bodily harm, I was
a
Marine
Corps sniper.

For at least a decade, 74-year-old Alex Seredin, owner and
proprietor
of
_______Gifts,
has spent his nights posting Internet messages filled with his
hatred
of
Jews. A search
on his e-mail address produces thousands of messages laced with
all-caps
profanity and
the word kike.

Using a variety of pseudonyms such as "El Conquistador" and
"Strider,"
all
of which trace
back to the same BellSouth account, Seredin is a regular presence
on
messageboards
dedicated to Jewish culture and Holocaust denial. Under "Serwad,"
his
oldest nom de
guerre, he writes with unflagging passion about the sins, as he
sees
them,
of Israel and
Jewry.

In a typical message, titled "HOLOCAUST IS THE JEW LIE AND
DOWNFALL,"
Seredin explains
that anti-Semitism is the fault of Jews themselves: "I am not
against
the
Jewish people,
but I really think they should know that those of us that are not
Jewish,
do not sit
around all day every day thinking about being Jewish," he writes.
"And
that the idea to
introduce oneself as Hello my name is David and I'm a Jew at
EVERY
encounter is really
what engenders anti-Semitism, let alone that is very tiresome."

Many of his posts quickly degenerate into short, profane volleys
with
other newsgroup
regulars, with Seredin demonstrating that he has a short temper
and
an
oddball vocabulary
of racial slurs.

"HOW ZIONAZIS ***** AMERICANS" reads one post. "WATCH OUT KIKE WE
ARE
COMING" reads
another. "PALESTINIANS SHOULD EXPEL ALL THE BLOODY KIKES" runs a
third.
"IF THEY DO NOT
WANT TO LEAVE THEY SHOULD BE GIVEN PICK AND SHOVEL!"

By posting dozens of messages like these every day, Seredin has
earned
a
storied
reputation as one of the most venerable and irrational racists in
the
newsgroup
community.

"There are 200 million Islamo-fascists who are bent on destroying
our
way
of life, and
Seredin is one of those people who buys into it," Ben-Tovim says.
"It's
anger - it's all
anger."

"His posts all sound alike," says Susan, a Usenet regular from
Maryland

who has been sparring with Seredin for years. "They're all the
really
frothing at the
mouth, English not quite perfect. And then he starts making
sexual
slurs.
He usually
speaks about the *****. He says clacker, which I think is supposed
to
mean
the same thing.
He resorts to this when he's backed into a corner. He's
vociferous
and
gross about it."

The war became a dirty one long ago. Ben-Tovim and others tracked
down
Seredin's home
address and business and published them on the messageboards,
along
with
his private
telephone number and the name of his wife, _____.

"I'm getting worried about Alex," one poster wrote in late 2005.
"The
anger. The upper
case. This is an urgent message to anyone who lives in ________,
______.
Stop by
Alex's home and shop and see how he is doing! Here are the
coordinates."

Seredin, who refused to be photographed for this article, has
fought
back
with similar
tactics but has never managed to shift attacks away from himself.
Ben-Tovim says Seredin
serves a useful purpose in the Usenet ecosystem. "Alex is so
outrageous
that he's
actually a very good example of how ignorant anti-Semitism is,"
he
says.
"He's a very
good way of making all anti-Semites look bad. He shouldn't be
silenced -
he should be
exposed."

The fact that he spends his days selling seashells to aging
Floridians
out
of a store
named for a beloved children's storybook character makes him
curiously
compelling to
everyone on the messageboards.

"I wonder what the heck he is doing," Susan says. "Sitting in the
back
waiting for
customers, typing between sales?"

On a recent lazy summer Monday afternoon, Alex Seredin is behind
the
counter at the
center of his large, whitewashed roadside shop, attending to a
belligerent
gray-haired
customer while tinny piped-in country music tinkles above.

"Just let me see it!" his patron barks as Seredin handles one of
the
many
shells she is
buying. Square-faced, with a cap of white hair and a large round
belly
under his lavender
T-shirt, Seredin responds good-naturedly with a genial "ho, ho,
ho"
as
he
hands it back
to her. He looks exactly like a tropical Santa Claus after a good
shave.

His jolliness soothes his customer. Pawing over her purchases,
she
becomes
pleased. "This
is really going to look kitsch!" she murmurs, delighted.

"There are some real treasures here. It's a wonderful place for
kids,"
Seredin calls
after her in his wheezy Eastern European accent. "Have a good
day,
my
dear."

Though it's officially after business hours, a trickle of
customers
keeps
coming in to
wander through the rows of baby sharks floating in bottles of
electric-blue liquid, tubs
of $1 starfish husks, and shells of every variety. Seredin buys
the
shells
in bulk,
shipped over from Indonesia and Malaysia, and resells them to
beachcombers
looking for
souvenirs. He purchased the store from its original owner in
1996,
when
Seredin and his
wife followed the snowbirds from Ottawa to Florida and decided to
roost.

Other kikes who approve of what their fellow kikes did to Seredin
such
as
_Ben-Tovim
and others tracked down Seredin's home address and business and
published
them on the
messageboards, along with his private telephone number_ plus

So what? You think any of the above listed is afraid of you?

Ever since I first saw my name and address on this damn list, I've
been
hoping one of these bigmouths will try something besides post
stupid
***** to give me the legal justification to do what I want to do.
I
keep yelling at the yoyos "do something" but they never do.

This may come as a surprise to you, b'runo, but you no longer live in
SD.

So what? You know where I am, you scumsucking fucking pig. Get your
filthy ***** over here.

Been there. Done that. You fucked off.

And don't give us the bullashit that you called me. I can't rearrange
your face over the fucking phone. Do something, you useless little
worm.

I'll give you a call next time I'm there. OK? I'll make a special trip
from
Vancouver to SD, and drive up to see you. OK?

We've heard that ***** before, you filthy son of a *****.

I don't do *****, b'runo. I'm not a yid.

I'll let Commander Roberts know of my movements. OK?

Who the ***** cares?

You?

Poor old joey. About to go all purple in the kisser again.

Wanna be careful at your age, dopey. You're likely to pop a valve or
something.
