Lou, your above average intelligence is showing again.

I must say that your writings are more eloquent and cogent lately.
You obviously have studied some law.
Slander and libel are not easy to prove if one has offered an opinion rather than portrayed a statement as being fact. And, of course, any such statement must be proved false. Rightly or wrongly, I think your writings about your receiving divine revelations would make it particularly difficult for you to prove any falsehood in statements that call into question the status of your mental health.
I cannot determine whether or not you have a diagnosable mental illness. I am not trained to do this. However, I am often concerned about your mental health.
Regarding antisemitism and bigotry, I don't think you can construct a model whereby any comment suggesting that you are mentally ill is de facto an act of antisemitism. This is another issue that I believe would act as an obstacle to your winning any law suits.
I know that people who are intent on injuring Jews can be very clever with words. Such words can influence the beliefs and behaviors of others. Being Jewish myself, I am glad that there are people who stand as sentinels to guard against the emergence and persistence of antisemitism. There are still pockets of antisemitism in the US, such that I would fear for my safety were I to find myself surrounded by such hatred.
I am concerned that your ceaseless attempts to find antisemitism where it may not exist might actually have the unintended and undesirable effect of arousing antisemitic feelings.
