To me it isn't an issue of labeling a person as an anti-semite or any label of any kind. I am speaking about setting limits on the language that is offensive. I think people need guidelines and limits to remind us of what is acceptable language on this board.

I have no doubt that Fuzzymind experience racism against him. That is not at issue. I think that I would like to support him in his pain at having experienced such bigotry. But I have also been the target of bigotry during my lifetime, and I surely do not see that as a reason to permit me to turn around and use racist or ethnic slurs toward others.

I have nothing against the poster here, but I did ask him to not use language that is offensive to me. And I think that Dr. Bob has a role as moderator in setting the tone, including communicating that racial or ethnic slurs should not be used by participants.
