I fail to see how that article could lead you to believe that MD was a racist. I think that the question is: "What did MD say that lead you to accuse her of being a racist?"

just a small bit of housekeeping and we can move on.. i said i appreciated this apology of yours on the level which it was given, i also said this: "one thing though, would be helpful and instructive in an effort to bring this matter fully to a close... i would be interested in your response to this..you have said "after reading many posts here, i am convinced" however you never did address what i consider to be the more pertinent question which lps5 posed to you yesterday and has repeated today Message 18421435 and you seem to be studiously avoiding that question, instead you cut and paste an article which in no way addresses the essence of the question ... maybe you don't consider the question relevant to your specific agenda.... but i am the person you called a racist....and you have been asked to explain how you could arrive at such a conclusion calling a person a racist is a particularly serious allegation. one that is to be reserved only for those who demonstrate by words or deeds that they are just that. that is why you were called upon to explain upon what logic you derived from my posts that i was a racist. and you refuse to answer..... and what you apologized for was making that charge, and after the fact "many posts" seemingly convinced you that your accusation, this charge made by you was incorrect... you have yet to show any basis for making the charge in the first place.... NOT any acknowledgement on your part that it was the wrong thing to do in the first place. .. what if there were not "many posts" written here on behalf to convince you otherwise... what if i were left to "defend myself" alone against your scurrilous charge of racism? now i am going to ask you the fifth and last time... using lp's post... and if you cannot answer that question, i will assume the reason is quite simple: "you cannot" and therefore "you will not" because to answer that question fully and honestly means that you owe not only me...but the entire thread an apology for using the charge of racism to shut down the voices of those who oppose your point of view. and if allowed to stand on that basis, and only to be apologized for because of "many posts" coming to the aid of the person slandered by such an accusation...you have in effect put this thread on notice that you are willing to use such tactics, the usage of which can only reasonably construed as a device to intimidate others from speaking forth their opinion...those who might not have the assurance of "many posts" coming to their defense. but as you can see, people have and will continue to resist such a chilling effect by holding you to account for your words. are you going to answer this question? and answer for your actions in calling a thread participant a racist without substantiation? *********************** Re: "[R]acist** worldview[s]." (http://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=18417478) By what logic or definition did you reach that conclusion from this post... Message 18411817 ...or this one? Message 18411698
