I kind of hate to jump into this fray. But Lou, you really confused me with your last post. I'm stuck in two places:
1) I also never saw anything antisemitic about Nikki's original post, and I've been hoping that you might explain exactly what part of what she said you are objecting to.
2) I'm not able to understand what type of statement might not be antisemitic itself, but might arouse antisemitic feelings. Could you give an example? Maybe using some issue other than antisemitism, if you don't want to give examples of antisemitic thinking.
Finally, while I appreciate your desire to do everything possible to fight antisemitism, and I support you in that effort, I think that there can come a point where that fight itself can take a form that oppresses other people in a similar way to what you're concerned about fighting. So, then, I would think that you would be netting a negative outcome. In my opinion, you're getting mighty close to that line here. Just something to consider, while maintaining your vigilance against a certainly very serious problem.
