Doc 2 Be: Could you explain to me why the above is not as bad as an anti-semitic slur? Strikes me that you are using a pretty broad brush to essentially say, "Rudi, you're a double dealer like all Swiss. Look what they did in World War 2."</font>
No, I am just pointing out the fact that nowhere does Rudi ask the readership to refrain from offensive broad generalizations about ethnic groups, religous intolerance, etc.
Inasmuch as those topics were the type that I have taken issue with herein and their continued posting appear to be fine with him since he does not discourage the readership from posting similar drivel, I have consequently decided to post some factual material that does not make a personal attack on anyone.
If, however, others conclude that the generalization is appropriate to the poster, well, I cannot censor anyone's thought process. All that I can do is attempt to enlighten those who do not know anything of the matter, and/or attempt to show the falsity of claims by those who preach religious, ethnic, etc. intolerance.
As you know, there is a specific ban on individuals posting matters that I have highlighted as offensive, yet no action has ever been taken against those who transgress those rules.
I have been told that this customarily is not done, and that such is practically unworkable, anyway. Fine. I, however, will attempt to combat those posts -- in addition to posting travel related material -- as warranted.
Thanx for your interest in the matter.
