Should we all just stop paying attention to the westboro baptist church?

the wbc are coming to a synagogue in my neighborhood today, presumably to rant about how jews are all fags or something. i’m going to go and see if i can interact with any of them. i find them fascinating, just in that they’re a group of (literally) inbred fundamentalist activists who, while certainly beyond the pale in their words, demonstrate completely peacefully and have no record of violence towards the outsiders they wish to condemn (though there is apparently alleged violence within the church). on the contrary, they have been victims of physical violence numerous times (some would say rightfully). it seems like the main thing they’re after is attention. so my question is, interesting as they are and as fun to hate as they are, is the mature, responsible thing to do to simply stop listening?
