Subject: RE: BS: NO-go subjects on Mudat
No I have been screaming nothing
I have used all thes tems very occaionally at the heigt of arguments when insults are being thrown about but I do not make it a knee-jerk response to anything, as you do
You actually made it your first post in the now closed thread on Israel " a chance for the Jew haters" - that has nor become a regular technique
I've already said we all need to clean upi our acts - you have described that as bullying - an indication that you have no intention of cleaning up yours.
Most of those terms are perfectly valid in arguments - "Islamophobe", "racist", "fascist" "bigot" being typical of those that are both clearly definable and debatable in context
I refuse to open the debate of definitions that have been made invalid by you and others by your selecting the bits that suit you and ignoring the bits that don't
Associating the actions of the Israeli Government is a defined example of antisemitism - you do that every time you scream "Jew hater" whenever someone criticises Israeli policy
If you attempt to pick-'n-mix your definitions they are automatically made invalid
Do a deal with you Bobad, you clean up your act and I'll cleean up mine
I have no problem with arguing calmly with those I disagree with as long as that argument is conducted in a civilised manner - so far, that seems to be beyond your capabilities - ask any humanitarian, liberal, reasonable member you have ever screamed "Jew hater" at
Enough is enough - you have long gonr beyond the pale
