Speaking of the Mossad, I never noticed the definite article until it popped up in Ira Levin’s _The Instructions_ (which by the way is holy shit fucking awesome–I’m maybe a third of the way through). Somehow, every time I’d ever read the name of the organization up 'til then, I’d never noticed it (or it had been omitted). ---

> [@elucidator](#): > > You are confusing facts with interpretations. If a rock rolls down hill and crushes Joe Jones, it is entirely correct to assert that Joe Jones is dead. Calling it a “tragedy” depends on interpretation. Not really. Why what do you think the second greatest tragedy to befall the Palestinians was following the Naqba? Every Palestinian I’ve ever talked to would give just one answer and most of Israel’s western critics have never even heard of that event. Sorry, but with rare exceptions most of Israel’s critics are embarrassingly ignorant of the people they claim to care about and that ignorance proves that their claims are false. ---

Yes, again you get to deliberately ignore the factual veracity of the statements and try to annoy me by simply pointing out that I’ve made them. You’re so smart!

Yes, after I claimed that you were full of shit in your description, you offered a link that confirfmed everything I said but which you announced with “Let’s see, shall we…Bzzzt. Fail!” And now you claim that it wasn’t the purpose of your link. Just like you’re arguing that pointing out the hypocriscy inhrent in your bigotry was somehow not germane to pointing out the hypocrisy inherent in your bigotry. And you still are dumb enough to think I was talking about South Africa as a nation rather than illustrating that it would be bigoted to hold negative views about South Africans simply because of their nationality. Again, try to determine the difference between “America” and “Americans collectively”, “South Africa” and “South Africans as a group”. You’re also still stupid enough to think that pointing out your hypocrisy is a ‘tu quoque’. You obviously have no idea what the phrase even means, but I guess you figure it’s in Latin so you should use it to sound smart. A tu quoque is an attempt to discredit a position _because it’s hypocritical_. Your position was discredited because it’s rank ignorant bigotry, and I\* also \*noted that you’re a hypocrite. I’m somewhat unsurprised that you’re unable to understand. > [@](#): > > “beloved tactic” =/= “all over the place” > [@](#): > > dragging South Africa into completely unrelated discussions with me. You’ll notice that there’s an “s” on the end of the word “discussion”. I’ll leave it to you to puzzle out what that “s” might indicate, and what it means that you’ve only been able to offer one single example, and one in which your hypocrisy was relevant to your bigotry. And you’re still too stupid to realize that saying that Americans, as a group, are some sort of pejorative description is bigoted. That, like most bigots, you try to justify it is unsurprising, Bigots are stupid. “Yes, I think blacks are bad, but it’s their _actions_ that I base that on. Why, just look at how many are in prison!” You’re not even novel in your bigotry. Nor are you particularly clever in your backpedaling. Sure, you said that you had negative views about Americans, collectively, but really you just meant those who supported a politician you don’t like. But, erm, really really, you just meant those who actually voted for him. Yeah, that’s the ticket. And it’s totally retarded to object to the (pre-backpedaling) idiocy you were spewing. The post-backpedaling stuff is pretty stupid too, by the way. > [@](#): > > Actions speak louder than words, **Finny**. If you gonna say one thing, _and then continue to excuse it with “justifications” in the next breath_, You’re just a hateful little idiot, and you got upset that while I clearly condemned something, I didn’t just spew hate and tried to actually provide information on the historical context for the events. As pointed out, even likening Israel’s actions to a crazed child-killer didn’t make a dent in your neutron-dense skull, and you still think, to this day, that I was trying to justify anything. At all. You’re now vomiting up the same idiocy. I should have just said “it was morally reprehensible” and “shut up”, because hateful idiots like you can only handle the hate and can’t handle moral condemantion coupled with an actual attempt to fight ignorance and provide historical evidence. And the fact that you still don’t understand that analogy and it simply enrages you? That puts me in mind of a chimp freaking the fuck out because it finds a computer and has no idea what to do with it other than smash it or urinate on it. ---

Hey Finn. Can I bug you to get an apology? You said: > [@](#): > > Again, Clowny was accused of defending a racist because he was defending Red, who is an anti-Semite. But of course are you’re just a spiteful idiot, you haven’t addressed the fact that\*\* the “numerous times” I called Red an anti-Semite are because he really is an anti-Semite\*\*, and I had a textual citation which proved it. And this all started when I said: > [@](#): > > There was one thread I vaguely recall where he was hurling anti-semitism accusations like there were counterspells in Magic The Gathering.

> [@The\_Second\_Stone](#): > > Some people think that it is their duty to intellectually defend Israel on the internet against all comers because it is good for Israel and Jews in general. The problem with FinnAgain (which is an Irish user name) is that he is so bereft of any cogent argument other than ad hominem that he does more damage to Israel than help. Alessan is a much, much better pro-Israel poster who is actually informative and persuasive on the subject. FinnAgain undoes much of what people like Alessan accomplish in the stroke of a few ad hominems. Kinda like Shimon Peres makes Israel appear respectable and Benjamin Netanyahu makes Israel look like lawless belligerent idiots. Granted they both may have the same policies on the ground, but I am deeply disinclined to help assholes despite the fact that they may represent people who need help. I have seen this sort of thing before. I had a partner who was about the smartest most logical person you could ever meet but he lost all reason when it came to Israel. Finn not only undercuts the argument for Israel, the mere act of criticizing Israel gets you about 80% of the way to being an anti-semite in his book. He doesn’t usually call you an anti-semite, he just implies it by asking why in the world you would spend so much energy on criticizing Israel when there are so many worse things to criticize, gee Finn wonders why you might do that. Or he accuses you of having an agenda, (never really saying what he thinks your agenda is, he just accuses you of having one). Alessan on the other hand make an unapologetic case for why he doesn’t give a fuck what you think but at least he doesn’t imply that the only reason you could be criticizing Israel is because you are an antisemite. ---

No, dumbo, I’m pointing out that “pointing out the hypocrisy” is irrelevant to arguing against the factual basis, or not, of the “bigotry”. But, of course, that’s not possible (because it isn’t bigotry, it’s informed dislike), so the best you can manage is “no, u”. Hence irrelevant and just an _ad hominem_.

Well, I’ll criticize Israel and take my chances. Its policies are often short-sighted, and not short-sighted in some vague way like our grandchildren will pay more in taxes, boo-hoo, but short-sighted in the sense that growing populations are going to force a major crisis. That’s about as negative as I can get off the top of my head. ---

Well Bryan, I’m conflicted. On one hand I very much enjoy discussion with informed, honest parties and have publically thaked Ibn for his contributions here even though he considers the Balfour Declaration itself to be a serious mistake. On the other hand Damuri and his coterie seem to have purchased a timeshare membership on a lovely cross, and I know it’s a real bitch go try to schedule time on it. I’d like them to get their money’s worth, is what I’m saying, but I just can’t fully bring myself to endorse their paranoid martyrdom fantasies. Can you and I compromise and I’ll accuse you of not liking bagels and lox? > [@MrDibble](#): > > “pointing out the hypocrisy” is irrelevant to arguing against the factual basis As you combine the wonderful qualities of extreme stupidity with rage, I understand that you can not comprehend the fact that I already pointed out that your bigotry was objectionable on its own (being bigotry, after all), and that you are also a hypocrite. I understand that you don’t know what a tu quoque fallacy is, but you’re willing to freak out about it. Yes, you’re a bigot and you hate Americans or Bush supporters or Republicans, or whomever you’ve settled on in your latest binge of angry backpedaling. And just like a racist who loathes blacks but tries to justify it, you’re doing the same “but my hate has good support!” routine. I’m happy just to let you serve as proof for my claims about you, and I appreciate the dozens of single line responses followed by thesaurus-vomit variations on “Grrr, u r dum!” > [@](#): > > It means rhetoric, and English, are two more things you fail at. Or that you were full of shit and dishonest when you claimed it happened in multiple threads, and then furiously denied doing that until your exact words were quoted to you, at which point you went a bit further off the rails. You were obviously trying to inflate a single instance into something it wasn’t while whining about the pattern that multiplicity would represent. Those reading along can, I am sure, puzzle out the truth. I’m also certain that even though you do not (but you’re willing to stroke ou about it, just to be sure) those reading along know the difference between “you wrong _because_ you are a hypocrite” and “you are wrong because your claims are simple bigotry, _and_ you are also a hypocrite.” It’s actually a somewhat common error, like people who confuse an ad hominem fallacy of arguing that a position is wrong because the person advancing it is an asshole, with arguing against a position and also noting that the person advancing it is an asshole. If you weren’t quite so stupid and angry, this would even be a teachable moment. As for all the rest? Well, people can figure out if “morally reprehensible” is a criticism or not and whether or not you are at all honest. They can determine whether or not it’s reasonable to subscribe to the doctrine of Angry Idiocy and demand that in GD of all places, folks should just get their hate on and not provide information about historical context. Perhaps there are more people like you and the next thread about the rise of Stalin won’t have an informative discussion about the context of the time, but only a series of angry idiots screaming “He was a butt pustule, now shut up and do not complicate my hate!” Likewise, I’ll leave it to people to figure out if you really are an angry idiot who thought that comparing a nation to a child-murdering methhead was trying to justify it’s actions and if you understand what an an analogy is any better than you understand what a tu quoque fallacy is. There is really nothing to be gained, for me, by trying to talk sense into someone who’s furious with rage and profoundly unintelligent. So, fell free to go berserk in a few more posts, my responses would only be pointing out your continued militant stupidity and that gets boring. Ciao ciao. ---

Playing the “this is so beneath me” card doesn’t work when you’ve already spent many posts on spewing vitriol. Ditto for the “you must be soooo mad” attempted troll, that kinda also only works if your own posts are more calm and reasoned in comparison. Which they’re not. See, that’s where accusations of hypocrisy have currency. In pittings, not GD. Learn the difference between debate and frothing, Mr **BigotSpigot**. I am not upset - I’ve been calling you various synonyms for “idiot” at the end of my points by careful design, and with the aid of a dictionary, _not_ frothing at the mouth endlessly spewing the word “bigot” over and over, like some sort of rabid parrot. _Squawk_ You ambulatory by-blow.
