Linguistic gymnastics...either you don't want to see the nature of the post, or you're jumping through linguistic hoops in the hope of convincing me otherwise, your Al Sharpton, whining Jew, comments notwithstanding.

Having lived for many years in a country rife with anti-Semitism, I recognize it in all it's forms. Either you choose not see it, or you hope to convince me that it doesn't exist.

It exists in many forms, overt or covert, blatant & subtle, insinuating and snide.

Whether you like it or not, whether you agree or not, whether you are insulting or not, I, having lived it, will continue to point it out.

Good day.

I contend that you are a green Martian.

I've seen it and I know that it is true. Don't try to convice me otherwise with any linguistic gymnastics either. You won't change my mind because it is made up.

Get it?

1. You cry anti-Semitism.
2. I provide evidence that the opposite is the case.
3. You refute it with charges of "mere linguistic gymnastics."
4. You fail to provide any logical counter-arguments.

Your evidence is that you "know it when [you] see it because [you] have lived with it."

Yet you fail to define it, nor demonstrate how the original post fits that definition.

The reality is that you want to see it because you get off on whining about it. You see it everywhere, even when the opposite of what you think you see is staring you in the face.

If somebody advances an argument that demonstrates that you are wrong, you turn your head. You will even turn from those who could be allies because you so desparately need your fantasy that everybody is an anti-Semite to be true.

You definitely fit the Jesse Jackson / Al Sharpton mold.
