Someone made a post asking who speaks hebrew. it wasn't clear whether the person wanted to know which people in the world speak hebrew or whether someone could chat with him or translate for him in or from hebrew. fair enough. someone named bluemandolin responded by saying that hebrews speak hebrew. since no one calls jews hebrews except people who also call female jews jewesses, i asked blumandolin who hebrews were, noting that there is no such nationality, ethnicity, race or citizenship as hebrew. he responded that hebrews speak hebrew, which is not an answer. so i asked him again, and he answered but i don't know what his answer was because his (bluemandolin's, not the original poster's) whole comment and everything under it has vanished. i went to see if he had blocked me but no -- he is no longer a member. wow THAT was fast! ask a simple question....

I speak Hebrew. Israeli born and raised

okay... but i'm not the one who was looking for someone who spoke hebrew and my post wasn't actually about speaking hebrew. it was about someone calling jews "hebrews."

I looked into this. It was blumandolin, without an "e." It appears he just blocked you, as I can see his comment and his and your replies. I think he was trying to be funny.

i got a no longer a member thing, went right to the page, which wouldn't happen were i blocked. maybe he came back afterwards. i'll check again. but it is odd! it's a strange reason to block someone. if it was an attempt at humor, it didn't work for me, since "hebe" is one of those insult-names traditionally given by antisemites to jews. when they're trying to be offensive but less so, they say "hebrews." it's very very unfunny.

nope, still not back for me. when i block someone i cannot see his or her page and i was able to, and to see the message that he was no longer a member. that is SO weird.

correction: page no longer says no longer a member. mystery solved. he left, came back, then blocked me. bizarre behavior altogether!

Bluemandolin is no longer a member? That is a shame. She was a lovely person.

this one's a guy. different person?

@genessa yes! You are right.

@GreatNani i am glad! i am not trying to badmouth anyone, just tell it like it is, not to coin a phrase, but i'd have felt sad had this been your friend.
