Lou,
IMO, as long as you see your often-used description, i.e:
>>statements that could arouse anti-Semitic feelings
as factual, "plainly seen," obvious, and/or downplay/completely disregard the word **could** no meaningful dialog will take place. To me, this means they could or they could not, and if they could not, Dr. Bob and others - maybe all others but you - may read these posts as not anti-Semitic by any far stretch of the imagination. I think you write this over and over again as a given, when it is anything but that.
As long as you cannot imagine or entertain the idea that for many Babblers, the statements you cite in posts are NOT...
>>plainly visible [here are] statements that put down Jews
no meaningful dialog will take place. I find when I am passionate about a thing, those are the times I must get myself to imagine the completely opposite POV in order to have meaningful dialog. I do that with you, the best I possibly can, but I just still can't conceive of these things as anti-Semitism.
>>posts that put down Jews are anti-Semitic posts by the agreement of Mr.[sic] Hsiung.
Did Dr. Bob say the above...exactly? I thought he said he could see how you could think one particular statement in one post *might* or *could* cause Jews or others to feel put down. Am I mistaken? Did he say an actual (not hypothetically) post or posts are anti-Semitic? Could you show me that?
