He is insulting Israel, knowing that I am from Israel, this post is blatantly an attempt to get me to respond. This isn't the first time i've reported him.

It's an opinion.

Look at this, written about Israel, despite the fact that Israel wasn't the topic.

"degrading and cruel nation bent on spreading hate...and lies"

1) He knows that i'm Israeli.
2) The thread wasn't about Israel, rather about Vanunu.
3) That is blatantly an attempt to get a response from me. Could a mod at least delete the post?

Myrth already ruled it as opinion, therefore, there's no need to delete it. If you don't want to be "baited," as you say, ignore it.

But I shouldn't ignore it. if I call a player a f*ck*d up moron, its my opinion. Its just flaming, so it should be ignored acoording to your logic.

Right...maybe we should start punishing all those people on these forums who have negative opinions about Canada, and the USA, and Russia, and Europe, and Communists, and, and....being an Israeli doesn't make you a privileged class, at least not around here. Get used to it.

Since the country of Israel does not play this game, and can't as it's a country, people have a right to express whatever opinions they have about the country here on these forums without being persecuted for it.

If you can't control your anger at such comments, then, maybe you shouldn't be visiting these forums.

Calling somone a "f*cked up moron" is a flame, if directed towards a player that plays this game. Saying that Israel is good or bad, as I'm sure people have varying opinions on the subject, is not flamebait whether or not you're an Israeli or not.

In contrast, many people say horrible things about Canada on these forums as a sort of diluted joke. You don't see them running around reporting it as flamebait... because it's not.

I have made my ruling.
