Maybe as many times as that lie can be told. How many times do I have to hear the story about numerous people who first died at Auschwitz, (Oah, it was terrible, jowst awful) then magically rose from the dead to move to New York and Televiv.

Well, I don’t know. Maybe as many times as that lie can be told.

In fact, I think i could go as far as to say that's a repulsive argument. Mass killings should never be taken lightly.

Umm, Hell yeah that's why. How many times do I have to hear the story about numerous people who first died at Auschwitz, (Oah, it was terrible, jowst awful) then magically rose from the dead to move to New York and Televiv. I think this Darr fellow is a son of a "survivor". Shouldn't you be gathering round him and waiting to his every need? Individualism is a cult. “The only reason we still remember it at all is because the Jews keep shoving it in our faces, right?”

"Precious"? Oh, right, I forgot; the Holocaust was no big deal. I mean, really, there's nothing special about a world power's policy decision to exterminate an entire ethnic population worldwide, and its subsequent mechanization and banalization of the effort. And since it's just "one human catastrophe among many," it's not worth all the remembering and the revulsion and the "Never again."

All I said was that the phrase "Spelling Gestapo" could be viewed as a trivialization of the Holocaust. I might say the same thing about Colin Powell's comment. It's not about anti-semitism, it's about the modern propensity to thoughtless flippancy about real tragedies. Rowan, where did I use the term “anti-semitism”?

Actually, there is a great deal I could say in response to your response, but it would mean taking my job with me to "Sadly, no!" when I really should leave it at the door. And it would involve applying my training as a psychologist to a person who is not my patient---clearly an action that would raise legitimate ethical issues. So I will let your characterization of me as someone seeking pity to go unanswered. Let the chips fall where they may. As far as your advice on the spelling errors, I think I will take it. I'm already regarded by at least a vocal minority at this site as a bad singer, a shameless self-promoter, an arrogant narcissist, and a seeker of pity, so I suppose adding bad speller to the list won't hurt.

I can't make you do anything, but I would prefer you either just corrected your errors or ignored them, but didn't keep harping on how someone is (or was at some point) persecuting you for them. The "poor poor pitiful me" routine is mostly just annoying, and frankly, I think it detracts from whatever point it is you might be trying to make in any given post. I don’t want you to apologize.

Since I'm the only one discussing the phrase with you, I assume you mean me; but I can't recall the last time I corrected a typo of yours (or anybody's) in these threads, so I wonder why you think I'm the Spelling Gestapo.

As a psychologist, what would you think of a patient who comes to you claiming that his public comments are being "obsessively scrutinized" --apparently with Nazi-like efficiency and fervor -- for typos and grammatical slips, but can only show postings in which he himself corrects such errors?

However, I would like to introduce an alternative hypothesis. My hypothesis is as follows: I now correct all grammar, spelling and typos that I notice in my entries as a deterent against annoyingly repetitive, seemingly obsessive reminders from the person who is seemingly sensitive about being referred to as the Spelling Gestapo. The reason I have persisted in correcting my own entries is because it has worked as a deterent. If I can be assured that I will no longer be obsessively scrutinized on my entries in terms of grammar, spelling and typos, then I will gladly abandon my intervention. My other hypothesis is that I may have been obsessively scrutinized on such minute details as both a method of discrediting me, and as a deterent intended to discourage me from expressing my political views.

Yes, my attribution of a motivation to that strawman -- so you could complain about being persecuted -- was a hypothesis, but given the evidence -- notably that each such reference is accompanied by a statement to the effect that you are correcting yourself before the Spelling Gestapo et al. jump on your case -- my hypothesis remains the most likely explanation for why you keep making those references.
