Thank you for contacting me spetznaz.

I am still unsure as to where my comments were misprepresented. I went to the thread but that thing has so many layers on it that I decided to just FR the admin, figuring that if anything was out of order he/she would straighten it out.

Anyway...

Based on my Christian Faith I am a staunch supporter of Israel. Also based on my faith, alot of the standards of right and wrong that most people apply to the situation in the middle east goes out the window with me.

God's covenant is with Israel. Whether that is a perceived right or wrong is for others to debate but as for me...the Word makes it clear, so my position is also clear.

As a decorated former Marine 0331 I am confident in saying that 90% of the population of this country cannot utter a word where my Patriotism is concerned, but my bottomline, "push come to shove" Loyalty is to Jesus.

If my country and my own people go against Him....then that is their choice but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.

And i totally respect your opinions VaBthang4 (and agree with your views when it comes to patriotism and faith). I am also glad you decided to check this matter out for yourself instead of merely relying on the baseless vitriol Mrustow decided to spew forth! This whole mess came when Mrustow started throwing names around, and calling people anti-Semites based on some notions he has. And then when several Freepers stepped in to prove that he was wrong that was when he contacted you.

Honestly i really do not understand him because if you do not agree with someone you can agree to disagree (after all this is a forum for the exchange of ideas and there will be divergent opinions). However when Mrustow was proved wrong (even by other Freepers) he did not cease from his rather inane assertions but decided to contact you with some rather acerbic statements that i was using your name in a misrepresentative and nefarious manner! All i did was provide him with a link to a thread and a post (that you had written) since he had claimed that the way he had known i was an anti-Semite is that i had become 'over confident' and lied by referring to 'phantom posts' that did not exist. Actually here is a portion of the post he sent to me accusing me of not only being an anti-Semite but a liar:

You're lying. I dare you to come up with the thread and post number. I know, I know, how could you possibly be expected to go that far back ... especially to a post that DOESN'T EXIST. I have to hand it to you -- you are much more sophisticated than the average anti-Semite. The cool, calm tone, the claim that you are interested in the facts, the subtle bending of reports. Where you screwed up was in conjuring up a phantom post re the U.S.S. Liberty. You got overambitious, and as a result, you got caught. Thus, I am giving you a "B" for anti-Semitic propaganda.

Thus i found the post and referred it to him.....but at that moment he decided to change his cadence and call you up saying i was 'misrepresenting' you and dirtying up your name. If you look at the posts you can come up with your own conclusions as to how i 'misrepresented' you.

And to me it seems that you did not find a place where i was 'messing' with your name. However Mrustow has an obvious bone to pick (after all he was proved wrong and seems unable to digest that fact) and thus he decided to act in that manner. Honestly in my opinion he is the type of Freeper who should be ignored in favor of more intelligent discussion with Freepers who have more noble objectives than engaging in useless name calling.

Hopefully in the future Mrustow will check his 'anti-Semite detection formulae' to ensure he is correct before he starts calling people names, and then running off complaining to others when he is proven wrong.

Freegards,

Spetznaz
