The original post is part of a longer post which appears on first page of this thread. It is the 13th one there.
In the same (longer) post, I said that "In December, I told one poster that something she said was straight out of Mein Kampf and the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. I still feel that way but would not have been surprised if that letter had been considered "flaming". Apparently, it was not. Had it been banned, I would not have objected."
That is the "slanderous and malicious attack" to which ChaseTheMiles is referring.

It was considered flaming. Yet in the interest of maintaining dialog and refuting that point and malicious label, I choose to address it rather than simply scream bloody murder and have the posts redacted. I figured my address to those false accusations (which are ridiculous if you knew my family composition) would discredit those who lightly throw around such labels (especially upon those who are undeserving of such since it is a false association of the most malicious variety) and attempt to confuse criticism of state with criticism of the subjects of that state and/or people who may share the same religion.
I think Dovster realizes that one would be hard pressed to find me prejudiced against anyone or any group other than those who hold prejudices against others on the basis of birth and resultant family, cultural, religious, national, etc association.
