I too am having a very difficult time understanding why you keep attacking Kosta.

No attack. He got mad when I exposed his deceptive tactics against Jews. In particular his lame effort at quoting a couple of paragraphs from then Mishnah and claiming all of Judaism was in error. After that I was a "sick pup" in need of medication. Who's doing the attacking again? I don't care what nationality he is. I didn't attack his religious beliefs. Nice to see he has friends.

No attack.

Holy crap. You've been going at his throat on at the very least 2 different threads that I've seen. If you'd like, I can quote you at length.

He got mad when I exposed his deceptive tactics against Jews.

He hasn't lost his temper yet. Kosta has been putting forth strong arguments on why he chooses to place his faith in Eastern Orthodox Christianity over any other religion - including Judaism - but it doesn't necessarily make someone "anti" anything. For some reason you seem to be interpreting Kosta's learned and well researched knowledge of the issues at hand as some sort of offensive to your own beliefs. If he's wrong in his assessment, show him how he's wrong but don't accuse him of some imaginary hatred because it just isn't there, or if it is, I sure as hell ain't seein' it.

In particular his lame effort at quoting a couple of paragraphs from then Mishnah and claiming all of Judaism was in error.

So call him on it. Put forth a well reasoned argument and trust that it will stand on its own. Just because a man isn't antisemitic, doesn't mean he isn't capable of misunderstanding Judaism. Set us straight and we'll listen.

After that I was a "sick pup" in need of medication. Who's doing the attacking again?

I have to agree with Kosta's diagnosis here. Your defensiveness seemed to be right out of left field and his response to it seemed very appropriate to me.

I don't care what nationality he is.

You should care at least a little bit. One's background can give you great insight into the nature of what their objectives and actions are. Like it or not, this is the way of the world.

Nice to see he has friends.

With Kosta's compassion and intellect, I sincerely doubt I'm even close to being his only friend.
