And, Dewey, in case you missed that, freakin' is being used as an adjective, to modify a noun. So brucie can say I'm a normal genius, or a freakin' genius. (Thanks, Brucie.) I don't get your point on the star of David, however. If I said "listen to stupid Dewey," would you assume I was calling you stupid, or that I was claiming that there was another person very much like you who was not Dewey but who was stupid, so I was calling him "stupid Dewey." This is the same argument you are making re: Star of David. That in saying "Satanic Star of David" you REALLY meant a symbol which WAS Satanic, and was NOT the Star of David but which resembled the Star of David. Please. If this is the sort of verbal gymnastcs you need to resort to, you're better off just apologizing for your anti-Semitic remark. You are also missing my whole point, which is ironic, because it was YOUR point too. I was not accusing you of anti-Semitism. I was pointing out that one of your remarks could be taken as anti-Semitic, just as you pointed out that one of Bill's could be taken as anti-Christian. The odd thing is that you allow yourself the out of saying "but I didn't mean it," while you deny me the same option. I even stated above that I believe that you did not mean to make an anti-Semitic remark. But you did make it. And by the way, you did not "point to" an anti-semitic website. You quoted it and omitted the quotation marks, so it looked like your own words. If you don't recognize the difference, that's all the more reason for you to learn about internet forums and how they work before coming here, saying stuff you don't mean, and then getting mad at the moderators for not censoring your ill-considered remarks.
