The guilt that comes from knowingly supporting war crimes in print.

I see. And, I understand your ensuing explanation.

However, in Post #7, you had used the phrase somewhat differently, by my reading anyway: "Anything to deny Serb blood guilt." This seems to imply that joan et al are denying not their own "blood guilt", but the (supposed) "blood guilt" which is "Serb", i.e. the "blood guilt" of Serbs as an ethnicity.

So based on the definition of "blood guilt" you've given me, I find myself still confused. Do you mean to say, then, that the "Serb blood guilt" which joan et al are denying is that they (Serbs) knowingly supported war crimes in print? All of them?

Or what?

I guess I need to ask a follow-up question, then: What is "Serb blood guilt"?

Not Serbs as an ethnicity. There is no such thing as collective guilt; we are each of us guilty of our own sins, either those we actively participate in or which we passively ascede to. When a man is murdered by members of a rampaging mob, the killers have direct guilt, but everyone who stands by and cheers absorb some of the blood guilt too.

Serbs and Serbians as an ethnicity have no more "blood guilt" than anyone else. But those Serbs who robbed their neighbors and raped their daughters have GOBS of guilt to go around. Our "Serbocrazies" here on FR--which I have already and repeatedly defined as not Serbs or Serbians as a group but those individual crazies, such as Destro, who support the mass murder of the helpless at Srebrenica and elsewhere--have the same guilt attached to them that Nazi propagandists have of Nazi crimes. Anyone who supports mass murder as such is to an extent guilty of association with those crimes, and have much to answer for before a just God.
