Just to take this conversation out of GD, I had Finn on my ignore list because his style of argument (which is very similar to yours, once again i am not saying you are a sock, I’m just saying that you use the same sort of invalid argument methods (although, you take the “I know more about Israel so my opinions matter and you have no right to even be involved in the debate” argument to a whole new level) and distracting attention to irrelevant picayune bullshit) was unduly calcifying my opposition to Israel. It was a reaction to Finn and his argument style rather than a reaction to the facts so I put him on ignore. When you put someone on ignore, you can still see their individual posts by clicking on that particular post. When Finn disappeared for a while (only to reemerge when I mentioned his name), I did a search for his posts and he didn’t have any so I took him off ignore because I thought that perhaps it was interfering with my ability to search for him. ---

So, **Damuri** , are you gonna put **Ibn Warraq** on your ignore list or not? The suspense is excruciating. Or you could just kick him in the shins at recess. ---
