Moderator or Polemicist?

Pan,

You are a moderator here. It's your job to maintain order.

So leaving aside the merits of his argument, could you explain why you took it upon yourself to change "State" to "country" to "an entire country and certain peoples"?

They're not the same, you know?
And since they are not the same, you are guilty of spreading misinformation.

You've done this sort of thing before, haven't you?

This board is either honest or it is not.

Thought we might be able to discuss this better in here. Looked like a general flame war was about to ignite.

About to ignite?

Not sure what Antiaristo was talking about words being changed. But if this is an exact replica of what osr said, no words changed, then I would have banned him/her. There is no doubt in my mind what this person meant, regardless of protestation to the contrary. Check out the emphasis, which is not mine.

"The State of Israel, Zionism and everything associated with it should be wiped off the map AND ERRADICATED BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY for the very survival of our nation and our planet. Zionism is a blight upon mankind. It IS Naziism in it's purest form. In the end, they will destroy us all, and the planet as well, if they are not stopped and stopped NOW."


These people don't give up, they only modify their tactics just enough to stay put. I guess you need to decide what kind of board you want, Jeff. These people are like mice, just looking for an inviting enviroment. Might be time-consuming, but it would be interesting to measure how many more similar attitudes are showing up lately. Seems to me like it might be on the increase. And this is being said by a person (me) who believes that AIPAC should be totally decertified, not allowed to do business in this country. It's also being said by someone whose son-in-law is Muslim. But, I'm a bit worried about where this undercurrent is flowing.

I suppose it's a bit late to ban osr now, since you said you wouldn't, but sometimes you just have to strike while the iron is hot, and that comment was hot.

It's never too late to ban. I hadn't seen enough of osr before that post and didn't want to make a snap judgement, but I think I've seen enough now to make an informed one. I'm going to ban him.
