> Lou, the reason I feel uncomfortable about the possibility of you "searching out" antisemetism is that you could misinterpret something I or some other poster writes it in a way that wasn't our intention. I'm concerned that you're looking for opportunities to call people antisemetic. I apologize if that isn't true, but I've noticed you write about it a lot. I would feel very wronged if someone accused me of that. I haven't read all your past posts. I don't have the inclination to do that. The antisemetic theme is just something I've noticed over time, and I wouldn't think there would be much of an problem of antisemetism here on PB.

Is it possible you could respond from your gut without asking for clarification? I don't presume to know the answer, but I'm just suggesting it's a possibility.Cass,
You wrote,[...Is it possible..to respond..without asking for clarification?...].
I could respond to what could be seen without asking for clarification. It is when I can not see it, that I ask for clarification, for if the clarification is given, then I could have the opportunity to respond accordingly.
You wrote,[...you could misinterptret something...that wasn't our intention...]
In your statement, one could misinterpret something when all the facts are not visible. That is why I ask for clarification, so as to be able to have the missing facts that I could use so that I do not misinterpret what the member wrote.
You wrote,[...you're looking for opportunities to call people...]. Could you post here your criteria that you use to determine in your thinking if someone is looking for opportunities to call people anything? I do not need to search for what you are referring to for I can know it when it can be seen, for Mr. Hsiung agrees with me that antisemitic statements are those that could lead a Jew to feel put down/accused. So when I read it and feel put down or accused, then it is visible to me and sometimes a statement can be unclear to me and I ask for clarification so that the member could rule out what could be possible without the clarification to rule it out.
You wrote, [...you write about it a lot...]
I am unsure as to what the {it} is in your statement. If you could clarify by identifying such, then I could have the opportunity to respond accordingly.
You wrote,[...the antisemitic theme is ..something I noticed...]
I am unsure as to what you are wanting to mean as to the theme that is antisemitic. Could you write some additional aspects to clarify what the theme is and what the antisemitic adjective then imports? If you could, then I could respond accordingly.
You wrote,[...much of an problem of antisemitism here on PB...]
I am unsure as to what you are wanting to mean by your statement. If you could post answers to the following, then I could have the opportunity to respond accordingly.
A. What in your thinking constitutes a problem?
