You know, I've tried to stay far away from this discussion but I have to chime in again. You attacking members of this board upsets me.

You say you've read all our posts and all our recipes but do you ever read your own posts back to yourself? It seems you're the one harping on about a certain topic and you dare to call this place Toxic?

If you haven't looked lately, nobody here is trying to win the " internet influencer of the year" award. We shoot the breeze, exchange ideas and if the language that is used is harmful to you, then that's your problem.

You picked the argument and could easily abandon this thread but you still don't.

edit: btw that corned beef I made last week was the best thing I ever made in my life. I gave the secret that I learned and most of the recipe if you were paying attention.

brooklyn13, Ho hum, i didn't conclude that about you, mine was meant to be mild sarcasm based on your past incessant complaining about why we spent so much time being critical of Israel's war against Palestinians without giving the attention you felt we should give to other wars as in the DRC and Sudan. And it was also based on your past incessant complaining about why we picked on Israel so much without giving the attention you felt we should give to the genocidal acts against American Indians, Australian Aborigines and Tibetan Uyghurs.

"I don't know how you managed to conclude that I require my reading needs to be satisfied here. I originally thought this might be a good place for lively discussions, but it's more like a cult. I've been told a few times that " most on the board" think so and so in opposition to what I've written, or that most of you find me revolting or that I'm scum of some variety or another.

For example, you know, even if you won't admit, that I've written several times that I think Netanyahu and the WB settlers belong in prison. Yet, 3 times in the past month, it's been stated by others that I'm surely happy about Trump's insane plans for Gaza beachfront. What is up with that, anyway? People just desperate to pick fights?
"

In fact i have acknowledged your dislike of Netanyahu, because you only occasionally drop by here maybe you missed it. But no it would have been directed at you so guess you have just forgotten it.

On your cult mention i am neither responsible for nor really care about how other feel about you so no, we are not anything like a cult at all here.

"So, it's willful distortions plus (boring) insults. I can take as well as give, but it's pointless with a crowd who knows their response without reading what they're responding to.Let's face it, without people like Rooster and Conix (both of whom I disagree with on most things) and me and a couple of others, this site would be mostly about preaching to the choir and trading recipes, which is fine if that's what you want.

You run a toxic site, dude, for those who dare to have differing opinions. Enjoy the posts of the 10, or so, people who are willing to get with your program. I can't think of a single instance in which you've shown any respect for anyone who dares contradict you or for their opinions.
"

You have caught flack basically i'm guessing because of you defense of Israel's war. Not least because of the unreasonableness of your reasons for that defense. And because you have given it.

And just because you can't think of an instance doesn't mean the instance hasn't happened. When i disagree i pretty much deal with the content of the disagreement.

Oh and preaching to the choir? Sorry you missed our spirited disagreement on Schumer's continuing resolution switch.

Bottom line: You make many assertion about me and this board when you really don't know what you are talking about.

Read this again, brooklyn13, Is good to know you can count. At any time there is normally...
https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=175943868
i did and discovered i got something wrong.

My - You insulted the shit out of the board and those on it from the first moment you appeared. B402, the same. -

is not true about you, though you didn't question it at the time. Not sure where it came from,
i was likely fed up with your agenda since of demeaning the board and the moderation of it.

In fact, guess what, in reading through every one of your initial posts on TA, up to your reply to this one:

Gaza is the Warsaw ghetto. There's a wall around it. The seaport is destroyed. The water treatment is destroyed. The sewage treatment is destroyed. Fishing is all but forbidden. Israel allows a certain number of calories per person.

We insisted that Hamas join the political process. When they won, Israel continued to hunt them and kill them while they observed a cease fire.

No one is calling Hamas the good guys, but half the Israeli government would be in the Hague right now if it weren't for their might.

As far as Arab citizens? They have some rights, as long as they don't want to live in the Jews only areas. And millions of them live under occupation and have no rights at all.

Pick up a book dude. Learn the uncomfortable. People all over America are screaming that they don't want their kids to be taught the truth.... Hmmm.

i rediscovered that you interacted with almost every regular poster on the board, and you handled rooster and other interlopers as well as any of us have done for years.

And guess what. You fit. In fact you fit so well with positions both well considered rational and reasonable you were actually almost one of us --- until you chose to deal with the views a couple of us put to you about Israel in the manner you did. And after a time of that some on the board turned vehemently against you.

It was only after the Israel thing started that you started saying things about this board that
were not true. Oh and a reminder, comment on moderation is out of bounds, remember.

In summary: over 200 of your posts i went through (even crashed iHub tab twice with the speed of it, i think) and you did fit very well here, with nary a negative about the board or on the moderation of it.

How about that, eh. Good news.

PS: Why did i bother? Because when i read that of mine i decided to check if i had it right. It was
good to see i was in fact wrong on that singular point about you rubbishing here from the start.
