One possibility is that he was frustrated by the discussion and was teasing you. Another is that he was making a witty remark as a way of connecting with others, without necessarily intending to offend you. Or it's possible he is Christian and was inviting you to convert, because he thinks the Christian faith is the best. Regardless, none of those motivations necessarily demonstrate anti-Semitism.

It makes me wonder then, do you know of any other websites were you see less anti-Semitism?Tabitha, The statement in and of itself puts down Jews as having an inferior religion that does not save so that converting to Christendom would. This show a superiority over Judaism or that Judaism is inferior to Christendom. The definition of anti-Semitism is if it puts down Jews. The statement puts down Jews and is an anti-Semitic statement.
There are more issues here. One is that Mr. Hsiung allows it to stand which allows readers to think that anti-Semitism is supportive by him and that he thinks by allowing it to be seen as civil, that it will be good for his community as a whole. This is a great danger here to Jews and shows discrimination by Mr. Hsiung in relation to allowing anti-Semitism to stand which is an abuse of power. The intent of Scott is not at issue because anyone can say what their intent is after the fact. That does not annul what the statement purports as can be seen. I still want the statment addressed by Mr. Hsiung where it is posted originally, for as long as it can be seen as being supportive, the fire of hate is still burning and children reading here could be influenced by Mr. Hsiung to embrace antisemitic hate, for a psychiatrist is a powerful influence to vulnerable readers here under the influence of mind-altering drugs. The hate seen as being supportive by Mr. Hsiung could cause Jews to be victims of anti-Semitic violence and Christendom readers here could be infused with (false) feelings of superiority that could induce them to commit anti-Semitic acts. Those groups bent on the destruction of Jews could have their agenda of their furnace of hate stoked by Mr. Hsiung by him showing that he in his thinking that anti-Semitism is civil and supportive and will be good for his community as a whole. He then could be considered by a subset of people an accessory to hatred toward Jews by not posting a repudiation to the statement where it is originally posted.
