Why are you anti-Semitic?

    I don't post too often but I do spend a lot of time reading boards, usually as a form of procrastination. Anyway... I have read enough to get quite familiar with the general attitudes or groupings evident and also even to become familiar with those displayed by individual posters, many of whom are rather prolific.

    What makes me rather curious is the fact that though many seem to profess a very open attitude to other cultures and seem to abhor racism,anti-semitic undertones seem to be quite acceptable. I'm genuinely curious.... why is this?

    Never could stand that Sharkey guy and the rest of them.

    I thought I was a self-hating Jew. Turns out I'm just a plain old anti-Semite.

    I'm not anti-semitic, I'm anti-religion.

    Why do you touch kiddies? See how that works?

    You can't just barge into a forum and accuse people of being anti-Semitic without providing examples. Otherwise people will call you a troll, and you don't want that, do you?

    Can you provide some examples? I can't recall a single incident of anti-semitism in all my years of being here.

    Ohhhhh look I found a penny, that is all.

    Troll OP is OP troll.

    Yeh OP, we don't tend to take kindly to posters throwing accusations about the entire population of the forum, in fact we generally view it as trolling which isn't allowed.
