> Dinah,
> I ,and Dr. Bob, showed our objection to the type of post in question. Now objecting to what someone has written is, to me, not being "accusitive". I am objecting to what was written, and I am not accusing anyone of being ant-Semitic. I am objecting to the written phrase, for they ,to me, cross the line to be anti-Semitic rhetoric. Now someone could say that what was written was not anti-Semitic rhetoric. But that only means that people disagree. And disagreeing is not being "accusitive". If no one could object without being labled as "accusitive", then we could never object.

I do not believe that I have an obligation to educate or tell how something makes me feel, but if I do, then I will do so. If you want to tell those how it could make one feel, and to educate them , then that could be a good thing for you to do on our own. And I would appreciate anyone's writing about that on this board.

Lou,

I'm really glad that you are not accusing Kiddo of anti-semitism since it is such a serious charge. Perhaps, however, if you re-read your earlier posts - as I have just done several times - you'll see how she and others could have thought that you were. Particularly in this one. http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/admin/20020627/msgs/6382.html. Using the phrase "standard anti-semitism" about a specific post and then going on to mention neo-nazis does make it sound as though you were accusing her.

I don't know that you are required to educate here but I think that educating is a necessary part of any discussion where people have such different perspectives. Someone said in another post that the internet is better for debate than discussion. I don't think that has to be true. In a debate it doesn't really matter whether the other person understands your meaning but in a discussion it does.

Jane
