Apparently it is fine that the article mentioned he was jewish at the start but when I did it was beyond the pale.
replyI was hoping maybe someone would have some insight, maybe there is an intellectual tradition, maybe there are some special schools, maybe there are other reasons why jews in the 20th century seemed to have some strong intellectual achievement.
Or maybe I am just a jewish supremacist/antisemite. Hard to keep track which one I am supposed to be.
You might not have "show dead" enabled in your settings. There is an antisemitic comment that was flagged and is now "dead" with a bunch of replies - so you would have seen those, and then now not see them if you don't have "show dead" enabled.
replyAntisemitic? The article specifically mentioned he was jewish at the start. I said jews seem to be pretty good intellectually. (Einstein came to mind).
replyHow are you twisting that to be antisemitic?
I think that with showdead off, if a flagged comment has non-flagged replies, the toplevel comment will still show up as [flagged] and the replies will be visible. Flagged comments are usually collapsed, though, which might be why it seemed like the discussion tree disappeared.
