The method of taking a derogatory statement and replacing the demeaned group with another, of the author, favored group is a well know technique to show the invalidity of the original statement. The demeaned group in this case is "Palestinians" To refresh your memory here is the post that you felt was imitative. ""There you go again, you're head is still on backwards and you offer yet another twisted argument... all throughout this thread I've posted that I have no ill will towards the "Palestinians," but that over the years they have sadly taken the incredibly bad advise of their hateful leaders, they've been duped and tricked by their hopelessly stupid leader Arafart... now, snap out of it, Noel, you're becoming a bore..... GZ " There you go again, you're head is not on at all and you offer yet another twisted argument... I have no ill will towards the "Israelis," but over the years they have sadly taken the incredibly bad advise of their hateful leaders, they've been duped and tricked by their hopelessly stupid leader Sharon... now, snap out of it, GZ, you're becoming a bore..... Noel" Note that neither statement is productive in any mature discussion of the the Middle Eastern crisis. The two statements only serve to reinforce the differences between the factions involved instead of reaching out to find a workable compromise between the several factions on this thread. Here is a way to try to reach a compromise: I have no ill will towards the Palestinians or the Israelis, but over the years both groups have sadly taken the incredibly bad advice of their hateful leaders, they've been duped and tricked by their hopelessly intransigent leaders Arafat and Sharon. Had GZ written that then my response would have been: Totally agreed!!! instead of the above. But as GZ so often pointed out, GZ is not interested in hypothetical situations. Considering the tone of the initial post I do not think that any compromise is possible.
