I'm getting curious now about this perpetual re-hashing of the new, supposedly anti-Semitic punctuation code . Is this similar to the Reddit scheme, whereby the autists were able to persuade the perpetually-offendable that the "OK" sign (thumb and forefinger together for the "O", three other fingers up) was actually a secret signal among White Supremacists or something? Complete hoax, perpetuated ad-infinitum whenever a Trump-themed story could accommodate it? Or is this a something started by a bunch of actual nitwitted anti-Semites that has now been coined as an absurdity? Technical question: What does this mean: (((Nazi))) - when translated according to the New Rule?

Speaking of deniability, you didn't answer a single question that I asked.

I guess that was sarcasm, then. Are you Jewish?

No, it was a link to Google Search where the robot types it out for you with a snarky comment: sarcasm. And you still haven't answered any of my questions.

I despise Antisemitism in all of its forms, whether it's from alt-right conservative nazi's, or campus Free Palestine flavors, or Muslim Congressmen insinuating it's 'All About the Benjamins'. They are despicable to a one; the first group is far smaller than the second one.

But the citations you have provided in your Google search are nearly all Progressive sources quoting in solidarity against the alt-right Menace. In other words, many of them come to the task biased and proceed to work themselves into a false hysteria about punctuation~! The argument and the idea is weak and stupid. In fact, one of the articles is a story about how a liberal uses the (((echo))) to spice up a twitter conversation.

In my youth I had a summer job waiting on elderly New York Jews, a large percentage of them holocaust survivors. As a group, the singularly kindest, nicest people I have ever come across, a uniquely rich interpersonal experience in my early life. Kind people, in a way where even ignorant youths can see they have been through horror in their life, and persevered through it to emerge at peace with the world.

Nobody is going to convincingly promote Antisemitism with punctuation marks, it will always remain a stupid inside joke for people in a room nobody else wants to visit. And nobody is going to believe that being trolled with it without even knowing if the target is Jewish, is somehow an egregious offense. It's trolling. It's stupid. Surely you're mature enough to ignore it, without being so foolish as to put an offender on 'ignore' and then proceed to lecture the rest of the readers about the horrors of punctuation marks received from the excluded people.

1. A Google search is not an answer from you. The questions were to you, and as we can see above, you see it as fair game to ascribe responsibility for responses. You did not answer.

2. Similarly, the Google search does not provide the answer to whether or not you are Jewish, and neither have you. There is no need for you to do this (the point is moot) - but the fact remains, you have not answered.

3. I neither like nor dislike the 'answer' in the form of a Google search result. As I have said very clearly, I despise Antisemitism in all of its forms. But I think the liberal 'Free Palestine' movement as being more strongly-supported by institutions and eminently more toxic, and think the whole argument on the echo is both weak and stupid and wholly unconvincing on its premise, by comparison. It will never be anything but an inside joke for hateful people or a trolling tactic. It will never serve to expand Antisemitism in the same way institutionalized, organized methods aim to. There is no 'alternate explanation' necessary for stupidity and that's why I didn't offer one. That does not conflate with not 'liking the answer'.

4. Trolling only works if one is susceptible to goading. Suggest you try ignoring instead.
