Rubystars... You have always been a voice of reason. Did you take my comment as an attack on all Christians. I was very clear to specify those who I have disdain for.
Sometimes when you do clarify now it can come off as disengenuous (even if you don't mean it that way) considering some of the posts you've made in the past which seemed to blanketly attack all Christians even if you're not doing so now.
You have moderated your posting style in the past several months most of the time so I have to give you credit for that much. You're not as openly hostile as some other posters have been but sometimes it does seem passive-aggressive.
Some of this may come from legitimate irritation at the actual "Christian" anti-Semites such as those listed in the article which make Christians seem evil. Just remember that there is more to the story than just them. Dan ben Noah makes a good point in that he should be able to post articles like this one to expose anti-Semites of all kinds but I think it can be a very touchy issue because some of the members including you sometimes seem to lump us all together and that is hurtful.
I think we want to be able to feel as if we're welcomed here because we're here to help as much as we can in a forum format, and it's not as if we found a Jewish forum and just pushed our way in, which really would have been rude and disrespectful if we had, but we were actually invited here. That's an important distinction that I think should be made and it really makes all the difference IMHO.
It was one of my Jewish friends on Pal Talk that suggested I join this forum and when I got here Chaim was making it clear that people of different religions were welcome here as long as we're not anti-Semitic. He's always been welcoming to us and understanding of the fact that while there are major differences, we can still work together in respect.
Remember that we're choosing to go against the majority of the world to side with Israel and the Jewish people against their enemies and one of the ways we do this is through JTF. We take quite a bit of flack for it as so many people hate Israel now and take any chance to bash it and to bash anyone who is pro-Israel. You probably don't even want to know some of the things I've been called for being part of this forum. I'm not trying to sound like a martyr here but hopefully you know what I mean. We're already getting this from JTF's enemies and so I think it makes it more difficult when we feel like our fellow JTFers have the same low opinion of us.
I am surprised BC is attacking me instead of addressing the vile drek which these animals are spouting in the name of your religion. Will you speak out against it?
The fact that we're all against the anti-Semites in the article is a given so even if someone doesn't specifically condemn them that doesn't mean they support them. I think what the Christians on the forum are concerned about is that we don't want to be lumped in with that "vile drek" because those kinds of people disgust us too.
