with you over many, many months. I have been patient in responding to you despite what appears to be obvious attempts to paint me as anti-Semitic. When I respond to a question you raise and give you sourcing or more information you mostly have repeatedly either ignored what is provided and simply restated your question, critique, demand or simply you move the goal posts or imply personal aspersions. My patience with such behavior is over and there will be no further response from me to any comment you give to me about any topic.
