Graystone, I am not familiar with the Ask God thread, so I will take your word for what happens there. But in reading your comments it occurs to me that there is a major difference between what you describe in the posts of Dwight or Chris or Jane or James (which, from your description could be characterized as statement of bigotry and prejudice) and what Vidrine posts, which is nothing less than a rationale for the Holocaust. If you read Vidrine's posts carefully you will see the outlines of a syllogism. In effect Vidrine argues that:

it follows that:

This part of the argument is left unstated. It is left to the reader to draw the appropriate conclusion. Does it take a genius to fill in the missing parts? I don't think so. This is a far cry from simple racism or religious bigotry.

While I appreciate your sentiments, I think you have underestimated Vidrine's depravity.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
