That's fine Zelhar.
You're certainly entitled to your opinion about what constitutes 'civilized conversation' and 'personal attacks'.
I happen to think that although my initial post in this thread was very blunt, it still wasn't a personal attack or uncivilized.
Here's what I said verbatim:
"Listen, these children are ages 2, 5, 6, and 7.
I think it's a little too early to write them off as unredeemable 'SS' children.
Beyond their control, they had the misfortune to be sired by a Moozie father, and now that they're in Israel with their Jewish mother, they should be given a chance to be good Jews.
As far as I'm concerned, they're more innocent than you are.
They didn't have a choice about leaving Judaism and becoming a Moozie. You did.
So who the heck are you to say they shouldn't be given a chance ?
Talk about unmitigated gall.
Do you think it's justifiable that you be given a chance to do Teshuva and children who didn't even have a choice in the matter not be given a chance ?
I have no idea what you did (if anything) to harm Israel or the Jewish people while you were a Moozie, but I really doubt these kids have done anything worse."
Now, you might consider that 'uncivilized' and a 'personal attack', but I said what I felt and I stand by every word of it. Blunt and honest, yes. 'Uncivilized' and a 'personal attack', not quite.
I didn't bother to respond to Ron's last post accusing me of being in the Hitler youth, replete with the veiled threat that it's a good thing I don't know him, nor did I bother to respond to him using Arab names when referring to me.
I didn't do so because that's when this thread could have really become uncivilized and even uglier. I have too much respect for this forum and it's members to do so.
However, I am going to say one more thing before I completely drop this matter.
I realize that Ron is currently 'Chaim's boy'. I'm told he contributes greatly to the Hebrew forum. That may be so.
But as far as I'm concerned Ron is a juvenile, argumentative, irrational, loose cannon. I'm suspicious about the mental stabilty of individuals that convert to Islam, and nothing in Ron's posting history here has allayed my suspicion that he's not quite dealing with a full deck.
In short, I consider him bad news.
I've said what I had to say and now I'm going to try not to say anymore about Ron. (although I'm sure I'll be tempted to respond to the responses that are sure to come).
Flame away.
