Thanks... I'm just a simpleton who needs someone to make things easy for me.
I'll tell you what I think it is: How about some people writing ignorant statements or displaying a poor sense of humour as the intent behind those statements?
Is that simple enough... or am I missing something?
Perhaps there is just as much "persecution complex" going on as "bitter smear campaign"?
pfffffffttt back at you.

Oh. I don't have that problem. Finding a decent pastrami sandwich, though... that's been a challenge.

persecution is not only a complex. it's quite real and ugly.
prejudice disguised as "good politics"...it's older than film.

The key is to not just selectively pull out what you want to read but to read it all in context. That, to me, is what was lacking in your original "counter point"

I think we've finally got ot a point where we can agree. I agree: persecution is real/ugly and prejudice is older than film... maybe even a little older than that.

Ease up, folks. For the most part we really can't tell racial or religous background from names, and not everybody posts pix of themselves. Rest assured that we have Christians, Jews, and Muslims, each represented by several different sects. I'm sure that we have Bhudists and Hindus. I know several people here who are in the agnostic/atheist realm. We have blacks, whites, and probably about everything else.
Over the years my clientelle has included a Catholic university, a major Protestant charity, the nearby Congregational Church, one of the Lutheran Churches in town, as well as the local Greek Orthodox Church. At the annual Greek Festival I'm welcomed like family, as I am at the Congregational Church's annual rummage sale.
When I buy a camera or a car it's often dealing with somebody I know. I don't care where they pray.

I have 100+ forums in my bookmarks. Some get visited daily, some weekly, some less frequently. I also subscribe to a variety of google "alerts," which sometimes inform my online activity. When things are quiet I make the rounds and will interject if and when I see somewhere I can contribute meaningfully. I don't toss in my two cents or repost the obvious just to get my post count up.
In the particular case of this thread, not that I need to justify myself to you, someone I've never met but consider an online friend whispered in my ear. I appreciate that kindness and would return the favor should the opportunity present itself.

if it was tongue in cheek i didn't get the humour.

Wow. This thread went downhill quickly...
Bottom line: B&H settled the lawsuit. Lawsuits are settled for a reason.
Customer service, or lack thereof, has little to do with the lawsuit, or the settlement.

Try Katz's on Delancey St. Most of the workers there are Puerto Rican.

There you go, trying to make sense in an RFF thread.
If I had a dollar (Canadian or US) for every thread that went downhill this quickly, I wouldn't need to work.

Kind of reminds me of meeting a long-lost relative several years ago. At the age of twelve, my grandfather's cousin, as well as many others during the early 1900's, had emigrated from Italy due to the abysmal job opportunities at the time. He left Naples on a ship bound for Australia to work for the railroads, never to see his parents again. When I first met him, he was a sight to behold. Imagine a man of obvious Italian lineage, speaking at a staccato-like speed with the thickest Aussie accent that you have ever heard, all the time wildly gesticulating to emphasize the points in his conversation. What a hoot! His was a fascinating story to tell.
