- Calling Redelfs a specialist in "genteel anti-semitism" is scarcely a
- genteel criticism. It is, in fact, among the harshest criticisms I've
- seen on usenet considering the quality and character of Redelf's posts.
- I regard it as a highly abusive attempt to intimidate and silence a
- liberated voice with whom you obviously disagree. I find the recklessness
- with which you apply the tar brush of antisemitism to John a disgusting
- display of hypocritical self-righteousnes in which you sit as judge,
- obviously thinkng you can read Redelf's mind as you are certainly offer
- no evidence to back your ludicrous claim. Did he use the wrong code words?
-
- I think there should be a word to describe the action of people who use
- the word "anti-semite" not to identify but to abuse, intimidate and
- ridicule those with whom they disagree. Without such malignity as
- you express, this forum could be much better in which serious ideas
- and social problems are discussed without having to dodge rocks. I hope
- you will reexamine your description of John. Any of us might get upset
- at an opinion expressed by someone else and want to say the meanest
- thing we can think of before our temper cools. If that is the case
- with your remark, then I have been too harsh with you and apologize
- in advance. If you really mean it, then I urge you to reexamine your
- own value system.
