176. I am not sure what you are saying.
I did say in my OP: "Criticism against Israel is not always anti-Semitic, but it can be, but that is another thread." The person I was replying to was saying that comments against Israel, basically, aren't allowed because they will be construed as anti-Semitic. That is just patently false!

As for inferring anti-Semitism, usually I don't bother to comment, I just alert. There have been, recently, occasions where I will alert and respond, but that is not the norm for me. If I see a post as anti-Semitic and I alert on it and it stands from more than 24 hours, then I comment on it. To date, only one post that I alerted on has not been axed. However, I have been accused, multiple times, of implying that a poster was anti-Semitic when that wasn't even the case. Besides being against the rules to call someone out as a bigot, I generally don't mince words. This is not to say that sometimes I can be coy, but when it is about racism, I rarely do that!

Did that address what you were saying or did I miss the point all together?
