Barracuda reported surfaceskimmer for posting the following video in the Aurora thread.



While I'm not thrilled with surfaceskimmer in general, unless the quotes contained in this video are phony (I don't have time to look into all of them today), then I don't really see how it's a suspendible offense. I mean, sure, he definitely has an agenda in posting the video, but the video itself seems to simply be painting the Israelis with their own brush.

In addition, 'cuda is the one who dragged the antisemitic issue into the thread when he baited surfaceskimmer at the bottom of page 53.

What do you guys (and gal) think?

The quotes are, at the very least, contested:

Without the original source an attribution isn't worth much.

FWIW, the channel that posted the video has also posted videos that are not only anti-Israel but irrefutably anti-Semitic.

I'll take your word for it, Jeff. Obviously, if the video is using concocted quotes, then at the very least it needs to be mentioned within the thread, and surfaceskimmer needs to be warned to refrain from posting such material.

I apologize for the lack of follow-up, but I really only have hit and run access today due to my job being a bit insane at the moment.

No problem. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. I'm posting a reply in the thread.

After some more back and forth I've decided to ban him.

Sorry. I saw the report this AM but didn't have time to do the research. I was going to dig into it tonight.
