Apparently from what I am to believe from reports Anti Semitism has gone over the line in this forum. To be honest I do not understand the nuances of the subject unless if they are extremely blatant.

I am asking all posters in this forum to take into consideration that The Rx.com tries it's best to be as politically correct as possible but that is especially difficult here in the Politics Forum where hardly any of the dozens of cut and paste threads about the political turmoil in the Mid East create cyber hate between Politics Forum posters from both sides of this very serious and hot button issue.

I have no way of no way of knowing what is normal or routine political debate and what is offensive racism to persons of various ethnic backgrounds without spending hours studying a topic. This is not going to happen. The Rx does not pay me to keep feelings from being hurt here in this forum, or keep up to date on world politics. I don't even have a budget to pay a moderator to try to keep the peace in this place.

I remind you that this is a gambling forum which as a courtesy allows some of our posters interested in Politics and World Events to have an area to discuss these subjects.

Unfortunately the entire forum has turned into one huge food fight with only a hand full of rational posters compared to the bigotry and hatred for each other that is prevelent in almost 90% of the threads in some form or another.

Soon I will have passed my 4 year anniversary as head moderator here at The Rx.com and IMO this forum has never been more full of hate and pure venomous dialouge between posters than it contains right now. Behaviour in The Politics and World Events Forum is at an all time low during my time here as Head Moderator. Maybe it's my fault, who knows but regardless this day in and day out bickering has got to cease.

I am asking you to start by ceasing all of the anti-semitic remarks immediatley. We can then go from there.

Thank you, wilheim

For The Record

Due to the complaints about Doc Mercer in an effort to be fair to both sides I have banned him from the site forever and to be fair to the other side I have also banned Festering Zit from Politics and Tocco95 completely from the site ala Doc Mercer.

Saying bad things about the beautiful people of Israel is off limits. It is wrong and bad and should never be tolerated. Just my position and opinion on this here matter. Stay cool. Right on!

Just curious - what did Doc Mercer and FZ and Tocco95 have to do with anti-semitism? I don't ever remember seeing anything racist or anti-semitic from any of them.

Although Doc was a bit prolific in his posts, I think all three had a unique and interesting perspective, and they'll be missed - at least by me. But I'm sure there's more to the story of which I'm unaware.

Can't speak in full for WIL, but I'm reasonably sure that the first post above has two messages which are not neccesarily connected. He was just saving space to put them in same post


1) Stop with the anti-semitic baiting

2) Zit and Mercer were banned (for reasons not related to #1)

EEK not banned or obstructed. It would seem he's simply observing his longstanding tradition of gradually escalating anti-semitic jabs and bait posts until he's right on the line for being a major disruption and then he disappears for a week or more

Btw, My barber/free haircut joke wasn't mean't as an anti-semite joke. As far as I'm concerned you coulda plugged any ethnicity/religion into the punchline.

Hope that didn't offend anyone. Cheers!

Slippery slope since this place is infested with bigots. I guess hating blacks is still OK.

Is posting a story with the headline:

"Clinton criticizes Israel plan to raze Palestinian homes" --Los Angeles Times

considered ok or worthy of ban consideration?

Hope this forum doesn't degenerate into political correctness, but hate speech should be ostracized.

The worst anti-semitism in the world today is being propagated by the Ashkenazi Jews in charge of Israel, who are destroying the Semitic Palestinians in Gaza. These Jews are not descendants of the diaspora but descendants of converts to Judaism.

Anti-semitism has over the last several decades come to mean anti-Jew, so it has essentially become a code word ...like family values.

I wish people would call a spade a spade, its becomes so confusing.

Anti semitism has always meant anti jew, despite semantics.

It is not something new over the last few decades.

And claiming Ashkenaz Jews arent "real" Jews is not only propagating Nazi propaganda but it is completely ignorant

As for taking sides in the conflict that is Israel/Palestine, that is your opinion and more power to you
