Just pointing out the truth.

100% bullshit. To be blunt about it.
Quote:I asked you what, in your view, separates your condemnation of a whole world religion from racism, given the odious genealogy of such views. That is a question. Where is that "nuance" you see lacking? Instead of regarding this as a piece of cake and setting to work on your clarifying explanation, you demand an apology.
No, you made a statement, you didn't ask a question.
Quote:But it would be wrong to characterize your words as denigrating a whole religion? Do you maintain that too?
Even if it did, which it does not, that wouldn't be racism or equatable to the nazis, a direct comparison you deliberately made.
Quote:Before going any further, you need to tell me if I have got you right. If I have not, then do not go off on a rant about lying and misrepresentation--instead, explain what I have misunderstood and what you really mean.
Nope, you don't get to try and flip the script. You made a serious accusation, back it up or apologize.
Quote:And you need to tell me if you recognize any distinction between asking a question about racism and accusing someone of racism.
Asked and answered, you'll get no more response from me on this issue until you apologize.
