"At the end of comments on the last article two commenters agreed that I had approved AntiRacist Hitler and had therefore given a go-ahead for BUGS slathering off into part-time White Genocide and part-time trying to be a junior David Duke!
That's certainly not an accurate account of MY comments on that thread, even my earlier ones that were made before my thoughts were clear.
My two final comments on that thread

that immediately precede your comment, "NO! I did NOT approve any slathering off into anti-Semitism," state my views and my concern clearly.
Are you comfortable with the direction that Horus has expressed himself as going in in this post by him (I actually put it up, with his permission, since he hadn't been able to and had sent it to me) earlier in that thread:

In the splc article, when I came across the statement that Horus was an "avowed anti-semite," I thought, wow, they sure don't mind outright lying in order to paint us as just another group that's like all the rest.
But then when I read Horus' post that I just linked, I wondered if they would have stretched so far as to say that if Horus were doing as we do at White GeNOcide Project: tossing anything about Jews in the trash.
I'd guess that Horus' views and my own about Jews are pretty much the same, but I only rated the term "malcontent" in the article.
And I'm not out to get Horus by any means. In personal correspondence as well as posts to me on SF, he's helped me get my head straight about too many things for me to not understand his great value to BUGS. He's able to point out useful things to me that apparently no one else can.
My own involvement in the splc article, and my realization that it had been stupid of me to not foresee that Jews of course would regard ARH as just a vicious (since Hitler is in it) attack on Israel and therefore on themselves, and that there would inevitably be pushback, of course is what led me to the concern I'm voicing.
Bob, when I have concerns, I'm going to voice them here. (btw, I have no way to get in touch with you directly. I don't know your email address, and my request for skype connection with you that I made some days ago is still pending).
If in this case I was so immersed in my own feelings that I didn't take care to frame things in a way that would be less insulting to your own feelings, I apologize to you.
