The comments policy at the right is clear. No harsh obscenity or vicious name-calling. No imposture. If it needs explication, I'd say: the word "filth" used to describe someone with whom you disagree is off-limits.
Vicious commenters have hurt this site. Impostors have hurt it.
I thank those who have gotten in touch with Adam and me when they feel the policy is being violated.

RE: "Some commenters can't read"
MY COMMENT: "We don't torture" – George W. Bush
reading the policy requires extra clicks and time. i wing it and hope.
using words like 'filth' and 'sewage' some of the 4-letter words are not high level discourse.
but
we are mostly dealing with jews and their fools for israel.
these words they bring on themselves.
like the fanatical and new converts to judaism who occupy hebron, jerusalem, west bank areas or the 'regular' jews both of whom with pleasure defecate, urinate in homes, churches, mosques, food, water supply. without a thought or care kill.

the anon 0 is for computer i have been borrowing for few days.
Go away, 5ds. You're just another hater and we already have enough.
I agree. 5ds is unwelcome at this forum. Legitimate posters will be discredited by the broad-brush of such anti-Jewish statements. Saying things like "we are mostly dealing with jews and their fools for israel" is utterly repugnant.
Be intellectually honest in dealing with the points of view you disagree with. Keep your personal bigotry to yourself, or — better yet — don't pollute the discourse with your view if you have no objectivity. the subject matter is too important to suffer fools.
Saying things like "we are mostly dealing with jews and their fools for israel" is utterly repugnant.
maybe but also true. who else but jews and their fools defecate in a church, mosque, palestinian's home. who else but jews and their fools destroy water and sewage systems so that palestinians and iraqis drink diseased water and have raw sewage in the streets.
politically correct pansies not welcome anywhere but in zion world
5ds
in brainwashed pet land do not call a jew a jew.

You shouldn't say stuff like that out of principle though.
It's really difficult not to conflate. But think of many of the early Zionists who advocated a bi-National State. Some were even murdered by the terror groups of the day like Lehi/etc.
And when you conflate Jewishness with Zionism and pro-Israel advocacy you are handing them a huge victory. This is what they want.
