I would feel horrified, and did when something close to that happened to me on SI. Did you believe I had saddled all Muslims with the crime? That is what gao seng counts on. Fortunately, this conversation all took place last night, so the untruthfulness of that claim is easy to establish. I'll post a little of what I actually said. Gao seng began calling me a 'terrorist' as soon as I posted the description of my call to the Muslim Center, so I assumed there was a connection. That explains my posts to him about Muslims. (Shortly after that he called me a murderer. A bit later he implied to this thread I was threatening his family. ("You win. Please, leave my family alone.") I didn't even know he had a family, and the entire discussion took place online, no PM's. I believe that is the most evil post i've seen on SI, Chris Land and Emile Vidrine aside, and I've seen quite a few. There is something about someone using their family in that way in a public forum that is truly sickening.) These four are probably the posts being conveniently misinterpreted, the ones in which I said religion and politics are not mutually exclusive and spoke of the threat of this fanatical movement: Message 16354245 Message 16354418 Message 16354561 Message 16354945 Here are some posts that disprove the accusation that I have "saddled all" Muslims with the crime: With a couple of excerpts, but please click on the links. It shows so well the way gao seng works. The Big Lie technique, which you believed, not having known what i actually said. http://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=16354710 Message 16354751; Possibly you should read my edit and try to get hold of yourself. You are behaving badly and will be ashamed tomorrow, or later, just as America is now ashamed to have put Japanese Americans in camps after Pearl Harbor... The Islamic extremists are a minority of Muslims. Most Muslims are ashamed of them... Would you scream at innocent Americans going to worship in their Mosques? What about if they were going to a memorial service for their lost, bombed, loved one? I know this is an emotional time. But focus your anger on the right objects, not on all members of a religion. Please. http://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=16354759 Message 16354780; You include in "pouring out" your "righteous anger" approval of those who beat up Arab-looking people in the street, write hate-messages on Mosques in their towns, phone the neighborhood Mosque to make ugly threats, calling them "murderers," threatening them? These are our neighbors. Their children go to our schools. They pay taxes. They work with us, including at the World Trade Center. They lost loved ones. Do you now hate all Muslims? What kind of person are you? I am trying to keep in mind the stress and shock of the last few days. http://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=16354832 Message 16354868 Message 16355046;
