I think you are mischaracterizing the "b*llsh*t" remark. Perhaps you misunderstood it. It had nothing to do with mocking your religious beliefs. It concerned your characterization of your actions at Babble.
And, if I remember correctly, it was made before your clarification that the Rider told you specifically to come to Babble to save souls, rather than try to save as many souls as possible?
I may be remembering that part incorrectly. But I'm not remembering incorrectly that the poster did not in any way intend the remark to mock your religious beliefs or the foundation of Judaism.
I have not read this post in any depth, but it seems that the phrase "fairy tales" did not refer to the foundations of Judaism but rather to the exaggerated tales of the consequences of taking psychiatric medication.
It's fair enough to call people on their incivility to you. But it is not fair to accuse them of anti-semetism, even if you believe it to be true. You sometimes have difficulty in distinguishing statements about you and statements about Judaism. It would be wrong of me to allow you to do to others what upsets me so much in relation to myself.
Perhaps you could bring the posts you believe are anti-semitic to your Rabbi for clarification. Unless your Rabbi also believes that it's impossible for any remarks to be addressed to an individual who happens to be Jewish, rather than Jews in general?
