aulsmith : Too many things are different.

elkiedee: If someone thought it's ok to post a an antisemitic text which was a major inspiration to Nazis here - the Protocols of the Elders of Zion! - and no one else has challenged it, more people need to read this novel by Philip Roth and other fiction/non fiction about all kinds of racism.
