Chief, that's just Martin, who thinks he's funny (no offense Martin but I think you aren't a great humorist)and he has apparently never seen a photo of CarolC, to judge from what he imagines. He replies to stereotypes that she never suggested, then applies whatever he can think of to her. It's just dumb, and people have been ignoring it.

The article at the top of this thread is one of the worst you could find by it's author.

Thanks for permission to think what I want of you CarolC, really--I know I can anyway but it really does matter to me that you don't begrudge it. I don't have any bad feelings either but honestly I'm fascinated by your persistence in foolishness. I think you're being sophomoric on purpose. You could say what you mean without mentioning Hitler, but you prefer to, then to back away from the implications. You like to pretend you are tone-deaf, and then argue about which dictionary definition you're using. You go, Vulcan girl. It's sophomoric. It's silly. You could drive tonight to instances of slavery in south Florida, but you argue that individual suffering of Palestinians is equal to individual suffering of Jews in the holocaust. You know what? It isn't, because every single thing is different, despite Locke, or Mill, or blah blah blah, or Chomsky. You're baiting and switching, to attract attention to your opinions. It does more harm than good, but you don't care. Did you read in Chomsky somewhere how to formulate dramatic opinions that serve to call attention to yourself? Good for you. You aren't tone-deaf, and you aren't special because people call you anti-semitic when you aren't. You're just being a kid.

It's poshlost, that sort of sentimental narcissistic self-importance that Russians considerately thought to name. As if I came back with a greater-good argument like, um, screw Palestinians. What have they ever contributed to world culture, compared to Jews? They exist just a little bit more than, say, Symbonians. I mean really. fuck them anyway. And also. What Christian that anyone could name goes into a court with the idea of "turning the other cheek"? Screw Christians too, they're just pretending to have actual beliefs, right up until anything matters to them. See? It's pretty easy to come up with flashy stupid stuff, but of course, I didn't actually say any of it. What I actually said was blah blah blah....
