We all deal with our traumas in different ways, Teddo.

I never called you an antisemite and don't think you are one. You do not meet the IHRA definition of antisemitism which is a key tool I and other Zionist activists utilize in our work - https://www.holocaustremembrance.com/resources/working-definitions-charters/working-definition-antisemitism I don't appreciate you suggesting that I throw around accusations of antisemitism willy-nilly just because someone has been overwhelmingly rude and unkind to me when I've gone out of my way to be nice and respectful to them.

Choosing not to care about antisemitism - as you clearly stated your position to be - is not the same as being an antisemite. But yes, it is the dictionary definition of amoral, which I did call you in our phone call and will certainly call you again here since you chose to bring it up. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/amoral "having or showing no concern about whether behavior is morally right or wrong"

But I'm glad you're looking forward to what we're planning at Goddess of the Desert and will still permit you to submit there should you be so inclined, in spite of your many profane personal insults to me and loud disrespect of this publication and its contributors.

You enjoy engaging with me and you know it, otherwise you wouldn't keep doing it of your own free choice. And you especially wouldn't be leveling false accusations in public at me which you know I won't let stand. I never called you an antisemite or implied that you were one. That you seem to think I did says more about you than me. As does your continued annoyance that I've correctly identified you and your stated positions as amoral.

Knock it off. Both of you.

Don't make me turn this car around!

I think there's a "thank you" that goes in here somewhere, but seriously, both of you, knock it off.
