    English chess Grandmaster Nigel Davies has been on my friends list on Facebook for several months and we had a rather heated exchange a few minutes ago. Seems he is reluctant to condemn Trump for accepting an endorsement from an organization which is anti-Semitic (KKK). But he was quite vociferous in condemning the whole of the Democratic presidential candidates as anti-Semitic . I did point out that Bernie sanders is Jewish . You see, Nigel Davies is an ardent supporter of Israel and probably took great offense when I pointed out that Trump had just called Democrats "babykillers" and in fact Israel is has a much more liberal policy than the US on abortion. I confess that I called him an Apologist . But he is ! He then called me a Theist and immediately deleted the posts and unfriended me. In 20 years on the internet, no one has ever called me a Theist. Lots of other slurs, but not that.
    I guess he did not analyze the position very well, LOL.

    That's a pretty funny story.

    Does he actually think "theist" is an insult?

    Thanks.
    I am still not sure if he disliked being called an Apologist or that his hypocrisy was showing.

    It seems you don't understand the story.

    I just enjoyed it. That's all.

    And i thought the theist thing would be comment worthy.

    One of the songs I've enjoyed a lot lately is the Persian pop hit of the summer, Gentleman by Sasy

    Killer hook in the start.

    I don't see anything wrong with compartmentalizing his thoughts on Zionism and his thoughts on chess. I wouldn't buy one of his books on chess because I am utterly beyond any hope of salvation as a chess player, but I wouldn't NOT buy it because his opinions about the post-Holocaust Jewish nation-state differ from mine, or because of my sympathy for the Palestinians.

    I consider cassaid4 a good forum friend but I would not feel the need to engage in some kind of virtue signalling in response to Nigel Davis unfriending her on Facebook by not purchasing one of his chess books.

    If he has you reaching for the disparaging slang for a woman's genitals, then you should take whatever action against him you feel necessary ~ although your assertion here may well suffice.
