Ray, your positions are still not clear. I can’t read your mind. Allow me make this as simple as possible. Which of these two statements do you agree with most?
A. I Ray, have read the Henry Ford booklets, The International Jew and I agree with Ford’s antisemitic principles expressed therein and as a result became antisemitic.
B. I Ray, have read the Henry Ford booklets, The International Jew and I disagree with Ford’s antisemitic principles expressed therein and therefore I am not antisemitic.
A or B?

Dear Bass Thumper,

This is the point at which you appear a fool by choice rather than by circumstance or accident.

You've reinforced/reiterated your interpretation and demand that I clarify my position by selecting one of the pompous, faux legalese statements you've provided.

No thank you.
I decline the invitation to provide you with an escape from your responsibility.

Even if I had been ambiguous, I don't believe this is the case, in my 1st mention of Ford, I was not so in the follow ups and redirections provided for your benefit.

You're now embarrassing yourself by refusing to accept that you've made an error, refusing to acknowledge that you have made egregious claims about me and that you have failed written comprehension.

I suggest you read your response to Mario.
You're fudging by introducing interpretation but that doesn't hold water.
There's a glimmer that you, at least in part, recognize a mistake on your part, but you press on.

You wrote "Ray, your positions are still not clear. I can’t read your mind."
I'd go as far as to say you can't properly read the text in front of you.

Had this been a matter of interpretation then the clarification provided, just for you, just because you seemed to need it, should have lead to a light bulb moment and cessation of your foolishness.
You didn't stop.
You didn't acknowledge the clarification.
You pressed on with your hard line & defamation.

There's also the matter of you maligning others within the thread: you "called them out" for not opposing what you claimed was my position.
You're, in essence, claiming they are enablers of anti-Semitism.
They aren't.

Whilst I'm the one defamed, I suspect it is your reputation that is the more damaged.

I am owed, at the very least, a sincere and honest apology.
