[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]Now that I am being accused of being "incredibly offensive and borderline anti-Semitic" I have to respond. [/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]
[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]This is the first post that got me wondering what was the relevance to the thread.[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]
[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]"I’m not going to weigh in much here, but a little ironic that some complaining about this list their favorite figures as those who murdered over 6 million Jews and post photos of them all year long - and now posted at Hanukkah!
Make sure you can pass a purity test before pointing figures. Sorry if this is harsh, but maybe time for a look in the mirror!
I am not specifically commenting to anyone here, but more aimed at the concept". [/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]
[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]The first para implies a number of things about what I can only read as somebody in the first 5 posters. Consider :[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]a) "some complaining about this" which is more than one person.[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]b) those people "list their favourite figures as those who murdered over 6 million Jews". No reference to other victims by the way. At least Tom considered them in his posts.[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]c) they also "post photos of them all year long". [/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]d) "and now posted at Hanukkah".[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]
[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]But hey " I am not specifically commenting to anyone here, but more aimed at the concept". My emphasise here but not people posting here but the concept ! Well I am glad we sorted that out as I was confused he might be talking about one of the first five posters. So does that mean he was not and all those points refer to somebody else ? Even then I don't recognise who is being discussed. [/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]
[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]Then we get further information e) "My issue was why are people up in arms about these, while displaying black shirted parading ss all over their house?". See my para above. [/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]
[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]Brad, Tom and Nap1er pick up the ball and run with it. [/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]
[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]Then Alex says he thinks figures depicting a Boxer killing a nun worse worse than a marching Nazi. Consider this response from Nap1er :[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]
[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]"You want to see the murderers in their pretty uniforms, but it bothers you to see them committing the acts that define who they were?". Note how the response twists to Alex wanting to see murderers in pretty uniforms. Add Tom later indicating he is defending the 3rd Reich by expressing that thought. Clearly I must be reading Alex's posts in a different way to others but I definitely don't see him being a fan of the Nazis.

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]Now that Nap1er is suggesting I might be being anti-Semitic it should not be offensive for me to point out that Zachary, Tom, Brad and Nap1er are of the Jewish religion. However is it anti-Semitic if I found Brad's comparison of Boxers killing civilians / missionaries to Custer defeat offensive and ridiculous ? Express an opinion different to a Jew and you are defending the Nazis or anti Jews. Well sorry guys I am most definitely not anti Jew. My objection has become how this thread developed into the usual LAH discussion based on Zach's two posts which I found totally off subject. It developed a life of its own from there.
I have given a few examples of responses I did not like so if that is objectionable so be it. [/FONT]
