You see class? this is a VERY GOOD example of misusing logic! Dan is adding
assumption into his conclusion path...

Now realy Dan, who said those anti-semitic slures has anything to do with
the joke that started it all? who said they have anything to do with the
argument at all?

Now realy people, stop reguaring racism as a rational response to events.
It's not. Racisim is a kind of idiocy and should be treated as such.
