Longsuffering, this is the quote I took offense to:

"Maybe once the game is over I'll look through some of your posts. You believe Israel can do no wrong and consistly make NO distinction between Hamas/Hezzbollah and mainstream Islam."

Hamas and Hezbollah are terrorist groups. Claiming I make no distinction between them and mainstream Islam is the same as saying that I think anyone that is Islamic is a terrorist. That is how I interpret what you wrote. To clear the record, without a doubt Islam does not equal terrorism. I should not even have to defend that in any way. Slinging dirt won't get this discussion anywhere. What I questioned of your motivations unfortunately was exasperated by your web link, as unfortunate as that was.

Had you not made that accusation (and still no withdrawal), I would drop the issue.

The next quote from you that is totally crazy, was in regards to Ahenakew's hateful comments:
"His comments, at least as reported in the link provided, are no worse than literally dozens of comments directed at Muslims posted on these forums."

I don't recall comments like that about Muslims on this site, and if there are, it is bad. I asked you to show me, you haven't. People who post hateful things are no ally of mine, that is for sure.

I find it ironic that my requests to you for clarification went unanswered, yet you keep demanding that I respond to your questions on a fairly off topic question. I would happily respond, but was waiting for your clarification.

As you can see, this topic can be a minefield. Claiming someone is racist (basically this is what you did in quote 1) then following that up later on with the site you linked is clearly not working in your favor. I cannot take it as accidental unless the first quote is retracted as what I determined your intent to be, because this all the context I have. The second quote is simply foolish, unless there are some posts I did not read or totally forgot about. I get as frustrated from Moon's posts as I do from anything coming from the other side.

I hope this clearly shows you where I am coming from, I am not writing this to insult or fan any flames.
