Has anyone else noticed that ideological opponents who are unable to use fact and logic to support their positions are more likely to launch into ad hominem attacks against you?
Take someone by the name of Abbey Grace (http://abbeyj-randomthoughtsoflife2.blogspot.com/), a pro-palestinian/terrorist supporter who happened upon my site and obviously disagreed with pretty much everything I post. Instead of arguing her case or pointing our where I am wrong, she wrote this:
You should be ashamed to call yourself Australian, spreading this narrow minded, bigoted crap. This is not the mark nor values of an Australian.
In case you are wondering what the “values of an Australian” are, don’t visit her site, where you will see posts denigrating the armed forces, such as this:
I am sad for these peoples [four Canadian soldiers who were killed] families, but they are soldiers who are paid to kill Arabic, men women and children. 1315 civilians were just killed in Gaza, civilians!, not soldiers that take money for blood. I cant mourn for 4 Canadian soldiers
In any event, I replied that she sounded like a terror supporter, prompting this response:
No I am Australian, and I dont hide behind fake icons & before you mouth off, my husband is Israeli. How dare you set up a pro Israeli site masked as being Australian.
Yes, how dare I have a website by an Australian (that would be me) which expresses support for Israel! (Notice how the Far Left try to censor others?)
After I pointed out that launching ad hominem attacks would get her nowhere, Ms Grace developed a case of amnesia:
I would never attack anyones character, certainly a person of Australian background I havnt met.
Except when she told me I should be ashamed to call myself Australian, with my spreading narrow minded, bigoted crap and all.
I, of course, pointed out her – ehhh – bout of forgetfulness, prompting this mail:
You are welcome to your opinion & site
I just dont agree with it
especially tagging it to Australia
I love my country and to see it tagged with Israel is appauling (as ‘appauling’ as her spelling? ed)
I wish you well…abz
When I pointed out her attempts to censor me would not work, she responded:
How have I tried to censor you
Im assuming each email is private (Bad assumption there; read the Legal section of my site next time – ed.)
I have respectively said & listened to your view
as well as invited you to my own sit
I find it awful that your site links
my country to zionists.and twice said i wish you well
You see, I had her all wrong. She wished me well twice. What a gal!
Her next mail to me had me really confused.
Dave I am not up for arguing with a goy
I wish you well on your site
but please dont lik it it to Australia
I know very much what Zionism is,,,
How about the Palestian “legitimate aspirations for their homeland”
After I pointed out I am very much Jewish and not a “goy,” Ms Grace had this to say:
Laugh go away ‘dave”
I wish you well..what more do u want,,,lol
How about to stop mailing me?
So laughing!
It was at this point of the exchange that I decided the only way to get rid of this pesky terror supporter was to scare the daylights out of her.
What are you? A stalker?
I am sure your employers at AODW won’t be too impressed..
Suddenly, Ms Grace was not so laughing anymore.
What is AODW?. Ive tried to be nice. Please dont email this address anymore.
For the record, AODW is where she works. A simply Google search of her name, and the suburb in which she lives (taken from one of her websites) brings up her LinkedIn profile detailing her workplace.
But for now I’ll let her think I know this because I work for the Mossad.
