I do not, because that trend does not exist. While I realise that there is 
some anti-Semitism in Europe, it is by far not enough to expect a second 
Holocaust. Suggesting that the Holocaust is likely to be repeated because 
of some incidents of anti-Semitism is a gross exaggeration.

That is odd... When I make such a statement it is a "silly tirade", but 
when Gautam makes a very similar statement, nobody seems to consider *that* 
a "silly tirade".

As long as the attack is against an argument and not a poster, it is only a 
sign that the attacker disagrees with the argument -- it has nothing to do 
with being a sore loser or a sociopath.

I have a pretty good idea, yes, but I know it will come from the same small 
group of people who have already developed a habit of personal attacks, 
self-righteousness and an attitude of moral superiority, so there is no 
reason for any reasonable person to take them seriously.
