> I believe it is a stereotype that Jews constantly cry antisemitism where none exists.

I hadn't been aware of that stereotype, and Lou is actually the only one I'm aware of doing it.

But then I've always understood that well less than a hundred years ago, something so monstrous happened that it would be perfectly normal and understandable to feel defensive. I haven't noticed any excess concern elsewhere.

I'm still rather bitter about the extermination order signed against Mormons, and my great-greats being chased out of wherever they were, and my grandparents being delegitamized when Utah joined the United States. And what Mormons suffered was so much less, and longer ago.

I sincerely hope that this is a more reasonable time. Yet even so, I never came so near to returning to the Mormon church than during the campaign of Mitt Romney and all the disrespectful jokes about magic underwear. And I always speak up in church when I hear anything insensitive about Judaism. In fact, I'm looking into the Noahide covenant and am rather excited about it.

So I very much understand being sensitive to anti-semetism. But I can't think it's conducive to positive feelings towards Jews to be constantly accused of hating them. Lou may only be one person, but his accusations take up a fair amount of space on Babble and are hard to ignore.

That quite apart from the fact that Dr. Bob doesn't remove posts, and has a policy against sanctioning posts that are archived.
