1. "thesummerwind" has been banned from posting. As far as I can tell, it's because he posted some stuff that sounded anti-semitic. He said he didn't mean what it sounded like.

Yeah, like how come it's okay to post anti-Christian comments, anti-Catholic comments (I'm not Catholic), and other anti-religion comments, but you get anywhere close to something that could possibly be considered anti-Semetic, it's gone or you are.

The Passion threads were a classic case of this double standard and I could not figure it out, unless it's because it's just PC to act that way.

Don't get me wrong. I would never post anything anti-Semetic, and I condemn anti-Semetism in the strongest possible way. I just didn't get the baiting and anti-Christian bashing allowed to run unchecked by a very few Jews, when I knew I couldn't get away with saying something similar about Jews or their religion.

Now that you bring it up, I have tried to avoid any and all "Passion" threads because of what I perceive to be extreme anti-semitism, rage, and hatred. The venom with which people have attacked anyone who dared to say they didn't like the Passion or thought it was anti-semitic was disturbing to me. I see what I consider anti-semitic comments frequently, mostly from people I think are just ignorant or don't realize how stereotypically anti-semitic their comments are. However, I haven't requested that anyone be banned.

too much truth in too much Christian bashing going too far too often some days, weeks.

But I think over all, it's better than it has been in years past.
