CarolC, I was not misquoting you, I was stating what you suggested about me by saying "I really couldn't say." You were stating that from my posts, for all you knew, I COULD be "against Human Rights." This then suggests that my posts and my online demeanor are such that one could come away with this impression.

You were, indeed, misquoting me, and telling me what my meaning was on top of that. I find this a bit offensive.

And as for the person you compared to Hitler, when you say "are you saying that X applies, because if so Hitler would be proud of you," rhetorically you are suggesting a comparison to Hitler. You are trying to back someone away from a statement he has made by saying "the way I understand it, that statement suggests a Hitler-like attitude," which in itself SUGGESTS you think he is like Hitler.

Again, I find you telling me what my meaning and my intentions were in asking that question. You are doing exactly the thing you are accusing me of doing.

I was trying to get the person I was addressing (can't even remember who it was now) to "shit or get off the pot" so to speak. Either you advocate collective punishment or not. If you do, then the comparison is apt. If you don't, then it's time to move on to the next question.

Technicalities aside, it's a little offensive.

And again, so is your habit of telling me what I mean by what I say.

This crap about indoctrination is pretty offensive too. There, you are misquoting me rather severely. I never said anything about indoctrination. What I said was that Jews wish Israel to exist, and that all things being equal, and given that there will be the same amount of suffering in the world (a premise I know you don't share, but one which we honestly believe to be true), we would prefer the option that keeps Israel in existence. As they say, "so sue us." But don't slander us!

Ok. I'm willing to accept that that is what you meant by what you said. Now, are you willing to extend to me the same courtesy?
