Dr. Bob,
It is never pleasant to have antisemetism associated with one's post. And please don't say that it should matter that I know I'm actually a semitophile (sp?) because I also know I'm not a *ssh*le, but it would be considered uncivil to say such a thing to me.
Couldn't comparing things, directly or in clear implication, to actions by Nazis or mentioning antisemitism while objecting to a post that is not actually antisemitic fall under the existing civility guidelines? I can think of a few possible applications, including exaggeration.
Just a thought.
And Lou, I do know that you aren't intending to call anyone an antisemite.
