"I have to say that I do not believe that I have ever initiated a posting "war" with someone unless I have seen some sort of overt hate filled post, anti-American or anti-Jewish." - rrufff, - I'am sure BobZ will not like what i say next, using another Silicon Investor member as a reference point, but he has had these many years here on Si, and now iHub, an example that demonstrates the correct and positive manner hot topics outside the markets can be discussed between all the people on both sides on an issue or "war" using words to try and bring an end to the death and destruction only process, rather than the never ending process to never get an agreement for peace. - I'am sure you know of Dr. Zeev Hed and his family roots, that he has many times given details in public posts. - Currently Zeev has two boards on iHub, one a market only, and the other for current world events that includies a strong linkage to historic events to mold opinions on each side. - For you to say that you do not initiate a posting war, but enter when the other side declares war using words only, then sorry, you two are no different in substance, that being to use verbal force & violence, rather than a learning & understanding process to resolve a conflict. Same old same never ending situation where 98% of those on each side are keep from ever being able to cross over to the other side and live in peace together. - My view is to have a 3 strike and you are terminated policy for all Si & iHub members using verbal violence. - (example of my version of verbal violence) Full detail on the thread: Are TOU still being... Where a member posted to another after passengers on a bus in Israel were killed by a suicide bomber, this posted said that the other poster must have dressed up in his Hitler costume and did a dance of joy... etc etc - This went on and on with no stop eventhought i reported it. - Sad, as if i were Admin i would treat it like porn, you know it when you see it, and after the third time you get terminated. - No death threats or personal info involved here, just that verbal violence phrase i just made up.
