Look again, friend. You managed to state a half dozen prohibited
NO's... violation of which qualifies for inclusion on your 'Ignore List.'

Thank you for pointing out scherzo's profile, Gampy Bobby. It explains his fairly sexually repressed and constricted interpretation of a little verse that was, at most, only mildly suggestive of sexual content. I should have realized that one cannot post a note about certain fruits of the vine (bananas and pears and apples are definite NO NO's, of course), ...[text shortened]... incurring the wrath of the moral police who are busy entertaining their own projected taboos.
My only "No"s are common sense no's that would be unethical to violate. No racism, etc. However, I do not put people on my ignore list for their political beliefs, or simply because they disagree with me. By this standard, der Schwartz Ritter is on, but not, for example, Scriabin, who has differing views than I (by far) but does not choose to be prejudiced or provincial in describing them. He uses logical argument (sometimes formidable arguments, even) and I respect his right to opinion. It becomes problematic when he starts making slurs. Which he hasn't yet.
The Debates forum, for example, is set up for arguments. If I put everyone who disagreed with me (in General, Science, Spirituality, Debates, and Culture, the forums that I post in), my ignore list would stretch to hundreds of people. They have a right to disagree and not be on my ignore list. But if someone calls me a "towel head" or something (it happens), they are on my ignore list because they are provincial.

1. It should be in Debates, not General
2. It attempts to hijack the discussion.
3. They're not inherently Jews, they're ZIONISTS, which is a political MOVEMENT, not a RELIGION or an ETHNICITY.
4. I'm not playing the Zionists and the Palestinians against each other anyway. I support the Palestinians far more.
5. I'm not always sitting safe at home. Instigating revolution is hard work.
6. I would trust no one else to play my games for me.
7. It's spelled "scherzo," not "sherso."
