I do occasionally respond to name calling in kind. I never do unprovoked. Rhodes is a different story, he combines disgusting language with the equivalent of death threats. i.e. wishing death on posters he disagrees with. Rhodes types are all among your buddies, psychopathic Israel Firsters. Do you deny this?
In regards to your first two sentences, I would still say that at times you have called me names without provocation. But some words that I would consider 'name calling' you obviously do not. You use 'Zionist' and 'Hasbara' as a subtle form of name calling in hy opinion.
Which brings me to respond to the rest. Death threats are against board rules and either way, I do not agree with. And then you say that Rhodes types are among
my buddies, "psychopathic Israel Firsters". I agree that Rhodes posts in a very volatile fashion and does use a fair amount of name calling and I have in the past hit the 'agree' and 'thank you' buttons because of the overall content; I still do not agree with the name calling; and when it is the over riding pretext of Rhodes' post(s) I usually just pass it up. It does nothing to further intelligent discourse.
Therefore, I have to ask, are you calling me a "psychopath" in some sort of off hand way. Without provocation?
