Holocaust Memorial Day 2011: Recalling the BUSINESS of the Holocaust
"Duncan, Thanks for the heads-up. We don't have PBS here but it'll end up on YouTube and I'll check it out. As far as industrial terms, that's what makes it so frightening; the planning and precision with which it was carried out. And then Rwanda: so lo-tech. Only swords and machetes for the most part...800,000 killed in 100 days. And they had theor own goebbels-type propoganda minister, a high-ranking government official who got on the radio each and every day and said "go out and murder your neighbor, for even though he is your neighbor and countryman, he is a leech and a rat and why you live in poverty." Absolutely boggles the mind. Yoni"Social Media Sites: Accountability, Elections and a Voice to the People: The Case of BizSugar
"First things first: How many people regularly have their posts removed from the HOT Topics page every friday if they have had more than one that week? Show of hands? Just Yoni. Others as was mentioned can have 4, 5 or 6. Just lovely to be singled out in this community of mine!"Social Media Sites: Accountability, Elections and a Voice to the People: The Case of BizSugar
"Secondly, A response to those who have been supportive: Thanks! To those who still think the Hitler post had merit...I still have to disagree. And perhaps one of the things about me is when I disagree strongly I open my mouth. And I have always been a fighter for things worth standing up for. In 4th grade when a kid twice as big as me started throwing pennies and said "Pick 'em up Jew-boy" I raised my fists and fought. I got my ass kicked and my glasses broken but I learned early that I wasn't going to back down. I spent a night in jail in Kansas City in 1992. I saw a bully picking on a guy with cerabral palsy, pushing him because he thought he was staring at his girlfriend, and by that time I was close to 6-feet tall and 215 pounds. The bully wasn't such a bully after about 30 seconds. My heart said do it and I did it. I'm a person who abhors violence. The charges were dropped. No regrets on my part. Hitler is the same for me. It is not something I can or will let go of. He killed too many of my relatives for me to stand by idly while some idiot makes a funny parody video. Yes, I have opened up my mouth. I have no regrets. Were I to remain silent I would have no self-esteem. Regardless of the consequence, I am glad I am taking a stand. If I make enemies along the way...so be it. If people think I'm out of line for going on about this, too bad. It's not funny. It's not business. It's very offensive. And I'm ashamed that my community thought it would be okay.

"Duncan, I agree with many here. You are a person who is willing to satnd up and voice an opinion even if it goes against the grain. You have always been fair and unbiased, supportive and caring. YOU have earned my RESPECT and the respect of a lot of others! Yoni"Social Media Sites: Accountability, Elections and a Voice to the People: The Case of BizSugar
"Anita, It is not about religion. Also, yes, I was THRILLED when you asked me to be a moderator and would have gladly accepted. That was right before, if your remember, the chief moderator sent out the famous "don't vote for Yoni memo" to all of the BizSugar people. That was the turning point. Also, if we all have equal rights, why has my article been quietly relegated and taken off the main site. If you want to kick me off of the site for being so vocal I truly understand. It is your right."Social Media Sites: Accountability, Elections and a Voice to the People: The Case of BizSugar
"David, I like you a lot, in a platonic way of course, and have the utmost respect for your opinions. I have to disagree though: I've been on BizSugar for well over a year. Although I agree that there have been plenty of other posts unconnected to business, I don't remember anything coming even remotely close to Hitler Finds Out About Blogging. There are a lot of reasons to stay here, but until this issue reaches its "Final Solution" (pun intended) I must abide by my gut. Yoni"Subscribe

Holocaust Memorial Day 2011: Recalling the BUSINESS of the Holocaust
"Cash money??? Yeah, I thought of submitting it, but it's too short and I didn't want to work or think harder and I only thought of the topic yesterday. Thanks though! Yoni"
