The quote was "historical cesspool" and I stand by it. I was hoping to help Zonder overcome that handicap Oh for the love of God! :-) I have been living in Europe for all of THREE YEARS. Hardly a "handicap" to be overcome, Cary. I live in Europe. I love it. Get over it. "In my heart", I know that they don't exist That's dogma. You cannot "KNOW" such a thing.

<<You are totally wrong, here. I bear NO hatred toward Zonder.>> ...You are correct here - my error. The template was about hate but my transition and intent was to focus on irrational behavior. ...And yes - trying to 'persuade' someone by addressing them with comments like "historical cesspool" is an irrational act. And you realized this which is why you later clarified your comment. As for 'extremist' and 'Jew' you are right - when it comes to extremist behavior I don't discriminate on the basis of religion or race or nationality. At least I try not to. <<I believe I am far more expert in this area than either you or Zonder.>> ...OK - let me trot out my expert - news.independent.co.uk <<The main umbrella body for Jewish groups in France - the Conseil Représentatif des Institutions Juives de France (Crif) - yesterday condemned the racist propaganda placed on the internet by extremist groups. Haim Musicant, the director of Crif, said he was aware of the existence of sites "which claim to be Jewish" that were calling for violence against people of Arab origin in France. "They are individuals who represent no reputable organisation," he said. "They could be extremist [Jews] whom we condemn entirely, but they could also be provocateurs.">>
