RIG:
you writted:
Okay - I think this whole thing is getting way off topic. To the extent that it's my fault, I apologize. The only thing I know about banks is I'm always getting screwed by them. I just thought they'd do the same thing to big time customers like Henry Ford--maybe not.
                  In any event, I don't want to insult anybody else, so I'm just going to shut up about it.

Being 'screwed by' banks is not what is the issue:
This is what brought a reaction from me and at least one other:

   These are people who had to deal with Jewish banking cartels. We are experiencing now what they were dealing with then.

You are trying not to insult anybody 'else', but you already passed a calumny against Jews. You seem to have made an association between Jews and banks. Your last post in which you apologize evades the Jewish part and tries to make it simply a matter of banks. To me there are a couple of issues, your problem with banks, (which may also be my problem with banks), and your association of banks with Jews, which you have not buttressed with any facts. Peter K above made a similar allusion before he disappeared, also with no support. I think the nasty part of this is the seagull approach to this attack(fly in, crap, then fly out- no harm done).

If you've got something against 'Jewish banking cartels' float it out or specifically say you have no information, you were just passing gas so to speak.
