I'd like to clarify that they weren't outrageous, offensive or insulting to you (although they were insulting to me). I deleted them because I felt that they were 1) not coherent arguments, merely strings of provocative sound-bites, 2) conspiratorial and reflexively anti-Israel, 3) possibly not serious and 4) boring. I had responded to one, then wrote a response to the second before concluding that it was a waste of time that could better be devoted to other things. My understanding is that people called "trolls" post deliberately provocative comments to get a rise out of bloggers, and I decided not to give this one that satisfaction. <BR/><BR/>Sorry about any mistakes in your bio...it was a copy and paste job so it was a second-hand error.<BR/><BR/>Let me say that I love your blog and try to read it whenever I get the chance. Thanks for taking the time and effort to write it.Adam Hollandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06245468599571473818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4718120950252476804.post-90861532170936396062007-11-04T12:53:00.000-05:002007-11-04T12:53:00.000-05:00Dear Adam Thank you very much for posting my revi...Dear Adam <BR/><BR/>Thank you very much for posting my review of Matthias Kuentzel's book. I wonder if I could point out that I used to teach Jewish Studies (history, philosophy and theology) at Manchester University UK, but made aliyah to Israel in August 2006 and now live and work in Haifa.<BR/><BR/>I am sorry that the posting has elicited rants that you have had to delete.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4718120950252476804.post-20871232352848577962007-11-01T23:32:00.000-04:002007-11-01T23:32:00.000-04:00I've deleted two comments from a reader who may be...I've deleted two comments from a reader who may be serious (but seriously delusional) or may just be trying to get some attention. Either way, there are plenty of places to post conspiracy theories, rants, etc. He should use those places, not this one.Adam Hollandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06245468599571473818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4718120950252476804.post-43577793338567926872007-11-01T22:34:00.000-04:002007-11-01T22:34:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Mehmet Kurtuluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06449822052059392129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4718120950252476804.post-6701901817262970402007-11-01T21:30:00.000-04:002007-11-01T21:30:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Adam Hollandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06245468599571473818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4718120950252476804.post-34567082910163765862007-11-01T20:08:00.000-04:002007-11-01T20:08:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Mehmet Kurtuluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06449822052059392129noreply@blogger.com
