Thank you for your thoughtful reply, GovernmentShrinker. However, you have misunderstood me, as many others in the past when I spoke of this. We all are so tired of censorship, that we might be all too quick to see it everywhere.

I was not trying to sensor a topic, a post, or words. Not only this is not my personal forum, I do believe that words should be countered with words.

If you reread my post, you will find that I was speaking of something else. This is a discussion forum, and articles --- from whatever sources -- are posted for discussion. IF you observe for a while, you will find that RCW2001 does not participate in ANY of the anti-Israeli or anti-Jewish threads he starts. This is not an agenda: agenda is a something that one DESIREs, or plans for, to occur. This is BEHAVIOR. And this behavior, in my opinion, is use of FR for personal purposes, contrary to those stated by Robinson.

Your remark amounts to "we can learn something form everyone." Fine, let's learn. Let RCW2001 tell us what he/she thinks. That is what I am talking about.

Instead, she/he shoots for something else. A small contingent on FR that sees the Joooos as the culprit of all evil in America and the world comes to these posts like bees to honey. They will elevate whatever truth about an individual Jew to all Jews: for millennia that was the favorite twist of anti-Semites. "See, I am a good person, I am. I am not against people in general, but, as you can see, them Jooos really deserve punishment." So, if you find one Jewish criminal --- they are all criminal. If one rabbi said something extreme- ---- that's what all Jews and Judaism are all about.

Just look at the post of BushMeister above: not that we caught three Israeli thugs, we should not feel bad about the suffering of the Jewish people as recently and terribly as in the Holocaust. Then, of course, FReepers with conscience, whether Jews or Gentiles, point out that criticism of individual Jews is just that --- criticism, but elevating it to the evil of the entire race is anti-Semitism. This is a discussion of what, exactly? What do we leant from this? That Holocaust, which is denied openly by posters like LarryLied, actually happened.

Most of these threads deteriorate in this manner. And, where is RCW2001 amidst all of this? Nowhere to be found. Never a participant in his own threads.

In sum, GovernmentShrinker, I am not against a topic of discussion. I am against RCW2001 using people's conscience to promote a fight and to promote anti-Semitism. This is against the stated by Jim Robinson policy, but those that violate it seem to be condoned. He is the boss; let him decide. All I did was to attract your attention. It is for you to decide whether this behavior and, essentially, manipulation of you and me by RCW2001, is OK with you.

You must forgive his absence. He's part-time occupied with posting antisemitic drivel on MuslimAccess and rants against FR on that Palestinian Authority rag, you know :)).

I agree that it's poor form to start a thread and then not stick around at all to participate. But I've seen plenty of it on FR, and as long as it's going to be allowed for one agenda or poster, it's only fair to allow it across the board. There was a poster (may even still be around -- his name has slipped my mind) who for several months kept posting links (no full article) to his own articles on some third rate Web news/opinion rag -- he'd post the first couple of sentences and then a link, and never participated in the threads. It was pretty clear that he was just trying to generate hits to his website.
