The thinking person knows the difference.

I disagree. When one uses the racist or anti-jew tag incessantly, it dilutes the intended purpose. I understand your enthusiasm to keep a perpetual purge going at all times to ward off nasty folks but it can just as easily be used to try to shut down dissenting voices....which is precisely how the liberals use such contentious words. It's like publicly proclaiming someone to be a child molester or abuser in today's climate...some of the goo almost always invariably sticks. I don't think I said anything about witholding my own contributions from this site. Nor have I seen anything on these scorned sites that looks so offensive at first glance whereas on Stormfront as you alluded to, one can tell fairly easy that one is "not in Kansas anymore".

Sorry I wasn't clear, but that was precisely my point. It's just that if there IS some apparent substance to the charges, they become more credible.

"Thinking people know the difference" means that if there's no "there" there, most people will dismiss such a spurious charge.
