pynchon-l-digest V2 #1590

[Doug Millison]

Otto,

At least we agree that Kai's attack on Terrance was uncalled for, and 
that Kai and rj and others dragging my name through the mud last fall 
-- in discussion threads where I was not participting -- was uncalled 
for, too.  davemarc's and Derek's past encounters with rj are in the 
P-list archives for all to see.  I note that even you, obviously, 
feel the need from time to time to speak up and declare what you find 
unacceptable in P-list discourse, so I'm in good company when I do 
the same.

Offlist we did disagree about whether or not rj has used Holocaust 
denier rhetoric, or if his anti-Semitic slurs warrant comparison with 
the way that neo-Nazis talk.  The fact that Holocaust expert Ken 
McVay asked rj why he was using a Holocaust denier's definition of 
the Holocaust seemed like pretty conclusive evidence to me, but 
certainly you and others can draw your own conclusions. Others have 
objected, quite strenuously, to the anti-Semitic content of some of 
rj's past insults on Pynchon-L.
