Perhaps you can start doing this from now on rather than insisting on playing your insipid little games.
Just a thought.

Had you such evidence you would have produced it with alacrity.
Originally posted by Gondwanaland View Postthey don't need to have been for it to be antisemitism.
No one is disputing there were anti-Judaic sentiments and animosity that on occasion led to violence. However, In Rome there were also anti-Egyptian sentiments [given the events with Cleopatra] and some anti-Greek feeling against bearded men and their philosophy leading young men astray. It is possible there were distinct anti-Germanic sentiments after the events of 9 CE However, none of this was institutionalised and no group was deliberately targeted for its religion and religious practises.

I asked you a carefully worded question.

Post # 456Originally posted by Hypatia_Alexandria View PostThat is not what I asked.
Let me repeat my question.
So, according to you anti-Semitism as we now understand that term, was to be found within societies throughout the Graeco-Roman world?
Have I understood you correctly?
You replied at post # 458

Like? This isn't even controversial. It's not some sort of new information. Any historian worth their salt knows this.
But then I guess that's the problem. I'm talking to a person who claims to be a historian but is not. A person who thought that: 1. being born in the US makes it impossible for one to be Hellenistic, and 2. that using the term "Hellenistic Scholar" somehow means you are claiming the scholar is Hellenistic rather than the common use of the term to mean they are an expert in Hellenistic scholarship.
Your reply in that opening paragraph confirmed your acknowledgement of my question to you. You continued that it was not simply according to you but “it’s according to actual historians”. You even used the word “Correct”.

Here though, it's obvious that she went down this road as a troll. She was deliberately shifting the subject from centering on where she was wrong and how, to a discussion about Gond's comment, which she doesn't really care about. She wins by you merely engaging in that subject instead of staying focused on the original discussion. Throwing her own tactics at her here, don't matter, because she doesn't care about the subject, it was just a way to shift the discussion from where it was.
It worked, you guys fell into the trap and have been played like a fiddle.
