The reason I didn't acknowledge that you'd denounced the comment is that I hardly ever read anything you write. And we've got miles and miles off topic now, while you and joey dissect everything I say. You can both assume that I'm never referring to either of you unless I say your names. You and Joey have to stop taking my references to people on the left so personally. It detracts terribly from the thread...

You detracted from the thread with respect when you raised again the anti semitism card against 'the people on the left'.
No one else did that, only you.

You should make clear at the time of your posting, that you do not mean all the people on the left and certainly not other members who are of the left and on here.

Otherwise then in response to a general term as, 'the people on the left'.
On the contrary, it is more likely the assumption should be, in the absence of any qualifying addition, that you do mean all those on the left, members here and otherwise.

I have done and will fight against antisemitism all my life.
While likely you may see people on the left as possibly beneath you and so fair game for wild accusations of being anti semitic.
I however know I have worth and just being on the left of politics does not make me any less credible or worthy than you on the right, and it certainly does 'not' make me and innocent others you accuse, on and off here, anti semitic either..

I still see no reason at all why anti semitism ever had to be made an issue here but only you initially brought it up, you created the detraction of the comments here onto it,no one else, with respect.
