> But I have to object to the posting of a link to an anti-Semitic web site, becaus a reasonable person could conclude that you were trying to arrouse anti-Semitic feelings on the board. The lurkers do not know your intention for the post and even if you say that the post was for some other reason, that does not mean that other people would have to accept it.
Lou,
I believe you should reread the posts in question. As I recall it, and it was a long time ago, there is no way a reasonable person could conclude that any such thing about why that link was posted. There was a discussion at the time of why the link was there, the anti semitic content of the site was not immediately apparent and, as soon as the content was pointed out the link was removed. In other words it was posted for another reason and people did not accept it.
A reasonable person should conclude that the link was posted in error; not that it was an attempt to arouse anti semitic feeling.
