So instead of your ad hominem attack ("well, i don't want to waste our
time with discussing this weak thesis") would you care to tell me how
rj/jbor/Rob jackson is genuinely injured by claims that he himself
considers "petty" and "petulant"?

Um, could be because a) my point was that verbal insults are not
particularly effective unless you take them to heart and/or they are
accompanied by physical threat and b) I was at a concert at a local club
whose proceeds went to benefit AI. Where you get the idea that I was
hobnobbing with the organizational elite is beyond me.

I'm so sorry. Perhaps I'll just start spraying out nine-hundred line rants
whenever the mood strikes me. I didn't realize that there was a moral
imperative either to participate in a group reading or to fill everyone's
inbox with ninety messages a day.

ps, yerself. My point (if you go back and look at the message in which 
I wrote that comment, mein kleiner dummerjan) was that I have been on this
list for about four years and have never had the kind of exchange that has
been recently ongoing. If you think condescension and graphomania is a
legitimate form of discourse, then sand isn't the only haeufchen of your
that is bigger.

So please look once more into my message and tell me where I said
"Nazis." German anti-semitism did not start nor stop, as you seem to be
aware, with Hitler. Dig a little deeper into the nineteenth century and
you'll find the phrase used quite regularly in anti-Semitic rhetoric--as
this is my name, I have done a bit of inquiry, y'see.

Fine. Fuck it. The list is yours. I submit to your dazzling display of
intellect and yield the list forever.
