Reply #132: That's true - but when it reaches the point...

of actually having an avatar, as someone did at one point, which said "I oppose genocide", it could suggest that some other posters support it.

But I think the I/P forum with all its faults is *usually* more constructive and less nasty than discussions of related issues in forums not specific to the issue. I've come across more anti-semitic *and* Islamophobic comments, *and* links to vile hate-sites ranging from wakeupfromyourslumber to a Kahanist site, elsewhere on DU and other boards where I've posted (I don't mean these things can be seen on a regular basis but they happen.) Maybe the mods here are doing a good job of censoring the worst stuff!
