Pirate,

So if I understand this correctly ..................... John shouldn't be allowed (according to you and others) to put the blame on the current financial crisis that is enveloping the world, on Jewish, or Christian bankers whom he deems corrupt, because if he does you consider him to be "racist", "instable", "paranoid" and "beneath contempt".

I think your labelling of John shows the same type of intolerance shown towards others, that in part led to events in history that you choose to feel so sensitive about. Personally how you manage to connect the two events is beyond me.

I'm thinking you must have been reading another board for 3 years, as John correctly pointed out, this one has not been around that long. Your choice of labels seem oh so familiar.

Would it suit you better if John put the blame say on, Women, Muslims, or maybe Men from Mars? Would you really prefer that he behave like so many different masses in history who have been crushed or oppressed, by saying and doing nothing?

Maybe instead of condemning him for speaking out on what he surmises as the worlds current economic plight, you should be informing him on why you think his ideology is flawed and what you perceive is the cause of this economic tsunami the world finds itself in. Attack the message by all means, but what gives you the right to shoot the messenger?

Whomever/whatever you choose to blame the current instability of world economies on, I'm sure someone will feel offended, but it shouldn't change your reasoning, and I doubt you would ever label yourself any of the choice of adjectives that you so quickly use to describe another.

As for losing your "integrity" debating a "racist" remember that's a label that you handed out, along with "instable" "paranoid" and "beneath contempt". All strong words for an alias who wants us to believe they are "sensitive"

Is sensitivity not also a two way street, like that other little word you seem to have trouble with.......... tolerance?

For the record............... Don't conclude that I agree or disagree with John's evaluation on the current economic crisis. I Personally don't consider myself qualified to offer any opinion, besides I too have been labelled "paranoid", (amongst other things) undoubtedly by posters just like yourself!

Let me close by quoting and hiding behind one of your lines "Do not bother responding. If you do, I will not respond. I am done with you!"
