Surething - John has every right to speak his mind, and for the record, if you remove his racist views, I agree with a lot of what he says. The only issue I have with him is that he publicly states that if you are a banker and happen to be jewish or christian - you are corrupt. That is a dangerous broad statement and by definition is wrong, as there are plenty of bankers that happen to be jewish or christian and that are not corrupt. There are probably a few african-american bankers that are corrupt. Does that make ALL african-americans corrupt? To top it off, John invokes the words of a well-known anti-semite. How do you defend that? This is by far one of the most blatant examples of racism that I have ever witnessed.

You knew very well what I meant when I said that I had been reading the board for 3 years. You knew I was referring to SH as the LBE precursor of agoracom, as you were one of the participants on that board. But you needed something to hang your hat on and hopefully you feel better now in chastising me on that point.

I have no problem applying blame where it belongs. But johns attack on Jews/Christians, and now your defense of it, is appalling and very saddening. What I first felt as anger and indignation has now turned to sadness. You can say that I am hiding, but in reality, I do not have the fortitude to argue with you. I know your history, and you love to argue for the sake of arguing. I don't have the strength or the time to try to convince you that the sun is hot.
