Subject: RE: BS: A discussion - What is antisemitism? .
I'm not arguing about your feelings, I'm arguing about your statements. You like to say that "If you can't see the difference between these two things, it's your problem." But it's not my problem, it's yours. I am generally good at understanding people's English-language statements. If you make statements and then claim that they mean something other than they appear to mean, you will be misleading, confusing and annoying to many people. Given the reactions you seem always to provoke from a good many catters, I think this is a problem you really do have.

So here is the problem. Either you make whatever statements are convenient rhetorically, and then claim they don't correspond to your feelings, or, you actually say things like "I would do X" and then really believe you did not advocate doing X. Either way, if you continue, many people will be scratching their heads in perplexity at your behavior, and it will be your problem, not mine.
