"Whether the label anti-Semite is ever stigmatizing (which you have been trying to imply it is not)."

Peter Staudenmaier:
I don't work by implication.

Daniel:
Cough. And you don't distort anything. Ever. Intentionally or otherwise. Even in retrospect. Now or ever. You record is unimpeachable.

I can even believe that you believe this. But as I said elsewhere, whether something is true or not is independet of whether the speaker believes it to be true or not.

Peter Staudenmaier did not respond to this message.

Note:
Logically, all writing will have implications. At best, Peter Staudenmaier can claim never to consider the implications of what he writes. But his writing, especially his articles, have considerable implications. Further, his acknowleged mode is polemic, and polemical writing necessarily has implications. I simply cannot belive that he never once considered them.
