MODERATORS
Why did you decide to insult me? Did I insult you? Did I make a personal attack?
And I guess I'm not part of "all you guys" because I always thought that about the Ferengi.
Also, what did I want to remove and from where? Please show where I said I wanted to remove something.
As far as the goblins not being antisemitic-

Not just her books, even the games based on them-

Did she do it intending to be antisemitic? I don't know, but it hardly matters.
Maybe I have the intelligence of a brick, but at least I don't tell lies about people like you did about me.
You've made a personal attack against the author of one book I consider not terribly bad.
Somebody wrote an article and I'm supposed to assume that person is right and I'm wrong?
I'll quote the title seen even in the link you provided - "HP goblins echo Jewish caricatures". Have you considered even once that Jewish caricatures too did echo something aesthetically familiar? Or that the folklore I'm talking about grew intertwined with antisemitic beliefs?
Medieval-style fairy-tales always touch this subject.
And then this
and this
form a syllogism.
Yes, it definitely matters, because to get rid of each and every antisemitic or similar ("middleman minority" etc) stereotype manifesting itself unintentionally you'd simply have to burn European-cultured countries with nukes and start from scratch.
Also I'm Jewish.
Sorry... you're insulting me because I besmirched J. K. Rowling's honor? Are you her great protector?
And I don't care if you're Jewish.
Now you're lying about not insulting me:
Stating a fact is not an insult
I see, so bricks have the intelligence to be able to read and write. Fact.
That's your subjective evaluation =)
I thought you said it was a fact. Make up your mind.
It's a fact. In my subjective evaluation.
In your subjective evaluation, bricks are literate?
No it doesn't. Anyone can claim to be anything they want on the Internet.
Including my opinion weighing more.
That's what you're claiming. Not what you're claiming to be. Christ, you even suck at trolling.
I can take over if necessary? I consider myself something of an expert.
I'm kind of ready to move on with my life. But I'm also curious. What do you have to offer?
The moment has, regrettably, passed. I'm now studying Mandarin. I'm trolling myself, essentially - I highly recommend it.
Why does your opinion weigh more?
