She will tolerate this regardless of how it affects anyone else. <BR/><BR/>This trouble me in many ways. <BR/>I noticed she called you self-righteous and desperate and then accused you of formatting hatred and said you have poor reading comprehension.<BR/><BR/>Normally, I would not give much credit to this type of person. Her message is clear. <BR/><BR/>She will try and go off topic by discrediting you and calling you names.<BR/><BR/>This symbol used obviously was not represented in a manner to eliminate the questions of many who look at it. If the symbol appearred by itself, as a picture, it left room for questioning.<BR/><BR/>One should not need to further investigate. If the intention of the board or the individual uses this as a sign of peace, then should this person not be at least a bit concerned that the opposite effect it is having. <BR/><BR/>Just a thought<BR/><BR/><BR/>Rob DouglasAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29620281.post-27381627668120252742007-02-28T18:13:00.000+02:002007-02-28T18:13:00.000+02:00There really is nothing to say.

You've said it all.<BR/><BR/>How absolutely disgusting, and how utterly depressing that a site supposedly devoted to a profession of the mind can be so ignorant. I wish I could say I was surprised, but none of this crap surprises me anymore. A little disheartened? Maybe. Surprised? No.B.E.

You at least have the decency to be an adult.<BR/>I noticed in the response to your post there was name calling and accusations<BR/>thrown at you. <BR/><BR/>You should not have to defend yourself nor validate the reasons for <BR/>your being upset. It is quiet obvious. Ignorance is dangerous. <BR/><BR/>The one question that comes to mind over and over again is Why?<BR/><BR/>Why would someone choose something that can be misconstrued into<BR/>something so hurtful?<BR/><BR/>Why would this person go through the bother of posting a link explaining the<BR/>symbol used but not bother to post a picture of Buddha with the symbol emblazoned<BR/>on it’s chest?<BR/><BR/>Why start a thread asking what people see?<BR/><BR/>Why not clarify this upfront, to be seen by all and eliminate any doubt?<BR/><BR/>Why would the question of one of the posters go ignored when he /she identified <BR/>offensive symbol?<BR/><BR/>The why’s can only be answered by what you said. To call attention to one’s self.<BR/><BR/>Many will say “Where do we draw the line? Why not ban the symbol of other cultures?<BR/><BR/>The answer is easy. It is not a matter of just finding something offensive. It is a matter of all it represents. The chosen symbol by the person was in very poor taste. <BR/><BR/>I apologize for the length of this comment but I am so angry right now.<BR/><BR/>Now, on to the Mod who felt it necessary to try and appear intelligent.<BR/><BR/>Maybe it’s me, but I doubt it. By stating as she did<BR/>“By the way Teddy before you go and accuse me of anti-Semitism, my married<BR/>name is Cohen”<BR/><BR/>Is she for real???? That is the equivalent of someone stating<BR/>“I’m not a racist, I have black friends. I’m not racist, I work with a Shapiro”<BR/><BR/>Unless she has been a part of such terror, suffered great loss or has witnessed the brutality of all this symbol represents, that is the most ridiculous statement ever stated.<BR/>Are you going overboard? No<BR/>Should you let it go? No<BR/>Why? Because, as you, I feel by ignoring things and letting them go, you are enabling<BR/>hate to continue.<BR/><BR/>In response to those who defend the usage because it is going in the wrong direction, The world will continue in the wrong direction as long as we let this go.<BR/><BR/>Any sign, act or show of hatred is unacceptable in my world.<BR/><BR/>It should be in yours as well.<BR/>This goes much deeper than a misinterpretation. <BR/><BR/>Many of you who read this and oppose the reaction are allowed your opinion, but please ask yourself this first.<BR/><BR/>If you realize what the symbol represents and know all that it stands for, would you also<BR/>other signs of hate to be displayed?<BR/><BR/>What if I thought it was really cool to see an airplane or two lodged into two skyscrapers while they burn to the ground and decided to put that as a decoration on my letterhead?<BR/>Would that also be acceptable? I could put a link saying that it was something other than <BR/>an attack.<BR/><BR/>What if I thought it was cool to show a woman being raped and had that as my decoration? Would that be acceptable? I could put a link and say it was erotic.<BR/><BR/>I could never do these things, I still cry when I see footage of either of these things. I am just checking to see at what point people get horrified.<BR/><BR/><BR/>I promise, there is an ending to this post soon.<BR/><BR/>Ted,<BR/>I have read most of your works. I follow your blogs and find you have tremendous talent. Your stories are full of passion, emotion and talent. I applaud you. You have<BR/>made me laugh and cry with your words. I doubt anyone who has taken the time to read<BR/>any of your stories could accuse you of having anything other than compassion and a drive for life.<BR/>I would consider it an honor to call you a friend and please know that I am as outraged as you.<BR/><BR/>Don’t ever change who you are and all you believe in. <BR/>I am sending you all the good vibes I can muster. <BR/><BR/>From my heart to yoursPaula and Elwood's Poetic Palacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13343194029961318354noreply@blogger.com
