Anrkitec, you are 100% right. For that reason, I did not call "foul" when you posted these remarks.

However, under the rules as stated by Sean in removing my post what you did is a personal attack.

I did not call any poster any name. I did not say that any poster was being idiotic. I did not say that he has no right to post.

I merely pointed out that he called the Israeli ambassador a "harsh word" (rat) but did not use that term about the murderer, the artist who honored her, or the Swedish officials.

In other words, just like you, I was calling into question his line of reasoning.

Unlike you, I had my post banned. That is the problem -- the double standard that was applied.
