Yes -- and no. Yes, read the letter, no, did not read the edits. If you
want to make a point, make it here, quote the source, prove it properly.
I know you're going to call me anti-Semitic for this, but your very own
tiring and pointless battle with the windmills is making people resent
the very idea of having any kind of discussion about Semitism or
anti-Semitism on this list. I mean, you're a Jew, and by obsessively
fighting the so often imagined anti-Semitism on Wikipedia you're
undermining your own credibility. I know, this sounds far-fetched, but
what you're doing is basically crying wolf, and we all know what that
leads to. That's the reason why I say stop blaming the Germans and the
rest of the world for a second, and maybe the rest of the world will be
more willing to listen to what you've really got to say, when you really
need to say it.
Just to clarify where I'm standing, I'm not anti-Semitic, I fully
acknowledge the Holocaust and I understand that all of the humanity must
stay vigilent in order to prevent any such atrocities -- against Jews or
any other human group -- from ever happening again. Just don't ask
everybody to support you, Robert, when you're overreacting. And now you
are. And you have been several times before. And by repeatedly
undermining your credibility with these hostile attitudes towards
everybody, you are inviting people to post offensive material in order
to annoy *YOU*. And they succed: you get over-annoyed. And you undermine
your credibility even further. So you invite even more people...
Which gives me the idea of a conspiracy theory very similar to your
typical ones: are you by any chance a neo-nazi posing as a Jew who's
deliberately using this very subtle tactic to undermine the credibility
of Jews and minimalize the importance of anti-Semitism by over-enforcing
it and getting everybody pissed off? Wouldn't it be even more
appropriate to ban *you* altogether from Wikipedia and this mailing list
based on my reasoning? Ooooh, you're boiling now -- and I didn't send a
three-page e-mail accusing you of something, I just asked a couple of
questions. See how that feels?
