I don't recall Elmer ever calling anyone a Nazi. If he does, I'll call him on it just like I did you. - Eric, while Elmer has never referred to Kash as a Nazi, he did call him a camel jockey on at least a couple of occasions and spoke of him at least once as having a third world mentality. Nazi is not the only offensive word in the English language and if you are willing to call someone on that word, why not on all of them? To my ear, camel jockey is no less offensive than nazi. ted

Thread, I wouldn't normally comment on the bashing that goes on here but this Nazi/Camel Jockey stuff is getting under my skin. First of all I don't remember Kash ever calling Elmer a Nazi. He is saying that Elmer is using the Nazi tactics of lies, FUD, and propaganda. The Nazi's as a political entity are infamous for their propaganda and lies, this is historical fact. How do you think they got the German people to go along with their atrocities. There IS a subtle but significant difference between what Kash is saying and what Elmer is saying. Kash is attacking Elmer's tactics (and indirectly insulting Elmer in the process) Elmer is directly attacking Kash and the fabric of Kash himself. What would you say if Kash was black and Elmer called him that 'n' word. That would not be tolerated and I don't think that "Camel Jockey" should be either. I am in no way taking Kash's side, I think the whole exchange debases this thread and Kash's statements are in very poor taste, but There IS a difference between insulting someone's posting style by drawing analogies to an infamous group who had similar tactics or insulting someone by attacking that persons race with unabashed bigoted slurs like Camel Jockey. Elmer, Kash, Please stop these posts. This is not the Yahoo thread Epinephrine
