Dinah got it right. She's spot on with this "You sometimes have difficulty in distinguishing statements about you and statements about Judaism." as well.

> Please do not accuse me of not seeig what can be seen. The remark is about what I {Believe}. Abd she says that I believe it.Sadly. (which is an insult to Judaism and an insult to the purpose of this forum.)Let me be very clear here, civility rules be damned. I am saddened by the thought that I believe you, Lou, experience delusions, and that you suffer distress when those thoughts are challenged and/or are not shared. I imagine that's very difficult to cope with when others don't see the world the way you do. I've seen your expressions of distress here, and I'm saddened by them.
> Now if you think that the use of B*llsh*t as she wrote to me is supportive, and your "Dr Bob" allows it, then you think the use of B*llsh*t is supportive to tell a Jew that they believe in Judaism.Sadly.
It's neither civil nor supportive. I never pretended it was. But it has nothing to do with your identification as a Jew. It has everything to do with your individual behavior as Lou. Just Lou. Not Lou the Jew.
> When one uses the vague word {it} they can not change the meaning of it after the fact.
Nope, but they can have a non or misunderstood meaning of the word and intention from the time it was expressed.
I do not hate you, Lou. I also do not hate Jews. But those two statements have nothing to do with one another. I don't expect you to agree with me or believe me, but there it is.
