You asked me to end it and I did, but this character wants to go on and on. I'm not asking you to review anything but if you are, look at all the posts. This guy has a thing where he apparently needs to get in the last word.
As far as I'm concerned, this particular debate, if you want to call it that, is closed. If he wants to keep droning on and on, that is up to you to decide who is violating your wishes as moderator.
He initiated the contact. When I responded to him I suggested that he get outside the box, forget about the history and try to accomplish something positive.

Things deteriorated from there when I suggested that his constant blaming of Israel was wrong, that I disagreed with his posting, and that we need not debate for a few hundred meaningless posts, which has in fact happened. I was offering a chance to stop right there, knowing that I would not convince him and he would not convince me of what each considered the other's extreme views.

CH gets a bit more hostile and high browed in passing judgment in this post.

I responded as follows
With your attitude, there would never be progress. You would continue to fight losing battles from generation to generation.
One can always take a slice of history and support an argument. It's obvious you have a slant and it doesn't appear to be moderate in this topic.
Suffice to say, I disagree with your entire post. It's pure propaganda.

He wasn't happy at my further attempt to end a discussion with someone I believe does not want a debate but a pat on the back saying, "you're right."

I answered with my questioning his posts as starting to go beyond what would be considered "moderate."
siliconinvestor.com
I was met with a pretty hostile example. "I'll come to your house ...." as a way of doing the old personal attack.
Not that it hurts my feelings, but he called me Muff. I guess that makes him a Muff diver but I digress.<ggg>

I suggested that he had a stilted view of history and was not even trying to be balanced on this "moderate" thread.

At this point, I believe that CH totally lost control of any "moderate" fiber.
siliconinvestor.com
This is a "moderate" thread. Your view and comments fail to take even a remotely balanced approach.
ROLFL!!!
You are the one who fails to take a balanced approach. Find the single post where, for example, I have critized the current Israeli government actions, though there is much potentially to criticize there. You are the one who refuses to bring any balance at all to the situation -- you want to deny any justice to the Palestinians.
In fact, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if you advocated murdering all the Palestinians as the "solution" to the Middle East situation. It would fit with your overall approach perfectly.
Now, I may be to the right of you, but if anyone can find my advocating murdering all the Palestinians, I'll post no further. If anyone should apologize, it is CH.
I'm leaving out a few puerile posts from each of us but in this one he called me a Zionist extremist.

Again, I'm a big boy and I don't need any protection and I don't need an apology. But if this character is going to piss and moan and cry like a baby and never drop it when somebody disagrees, then I guess it is time for you to intercede.
I suggest that if you read the entire package, back and forth, I tried several times, with humor, to end the exchange. I certainly tried even harder once you wrote to me.
If you disagree, then I'll take my leave and not post here further.
Best wishes and I bet you're glad you get paid as well as you do as "moderator." |
