Lou,
I'll respond with my logic about Scott's post, and the first of the posts that you cited.
1. Scott seems to be saying that you can be hurt by statements that are not anti-semitic, and be Jewish..
That is, not all statements that hurt someone Jewish are anti-semitic. Some are criticisms about other things.
Example: for example, a teacher could say a paper of mine wasn't good, when I was in school-- and I could have been hurt by it. That would be a hurtful statement, that has nothing to do with my being Jewish. ~~ Therefore it would not be anti-semitic. ~~
-~~Only if the statement attacks Jews or Jewishness FOR their Jewishness, is it anti-semitic. ~~
2. About the first link you gave:Bob is saying that anti-semitic posts will be treated in the same way that other uncivil posts are treated.
He's not saying that any post that's uncivil toward someone Jewish is therefore anti-semitic.
a. Anti-semitic posts are a class of uncivil posts;
b. Bob does not mean that all uncivil posts to any Jewish person are, by being to a Jewish person, anti-semitic.
Does that make sense?
Emsam.
