My initial comment to you wasn't even hostile and I was actually trying to be very respectful towards a person who as far as I understand has also faced "interfaith" discrimination (your comment about " an appreciation for my culture is an appreciation of terrorism"). It's because I sympathized that I decided to reply and it's why I started it off with "I get what you're saying". I don't mean to be vague but I have had experiences with trolls I don't wish to repeat so you instantly replying with a monolithic "troll" comment even though in my opinion I worded my initial comment with respect makes me rme and not wish to share ANY experiences whatsoever. Also I'm sick to death of rehashing very personal life stories irl or over the internet in the interminable "Are you Jew enough" test which is part of the problem I believe we're discussing. I followed very closely the storm of blind hate and fanaticism and pure vitriol that Judith Butler attracted three months ago when she accepted the Adorno Prize and it's left a very very bitter taste
