And another anonymous crank-- "David Morris" --  speaks up to defend 
"jbor", what a surprise!  Where's "slothrop666 at yahoo.com", then we'll 
have heard from all three of the ThreeStooges at yahoo.com.

"David Morris"
>Derek called jbor anti-Semitic.

That's right. And rightly so.

>  Derek was wrong, and many called him thus.

That's a lie. And I don't know what "many" might mean here, unless 
"David Morris" refers to the multiple pseudonyms that spew this kind 
of lying bs here whenever I disagree with "rjackson/rj/jbor" or 
recall the truth of whatever it is that "jbor" is currently lying 
about.

There was NO outcry against Derek Maus, a respected and long-time 
subscriber to Pynchon-L, when Derek called "jbor" on his/her 
anti-Semitic attack.  (I believe it is safe to say that NOBODY posted 
anything that criticized Derek for protesting against "jbor's" 
anti-Semitic slur. If I'm wrong, perhaps "David Morris" can show me 
the posts to support the claim that "many" criticized Derek for 
speaking out as he did.) Instead, there was a lot of offlist 
discussion about just how low "rj/rjackson/jbor" might eventually 
sink, having witnessed the anonymous duo "jbor" and "David Morris" 
hound Hollander from this forum, then later team up to attack 
Terrance.   And, at least one other person, who continues to post on 
Pynchon-L, picked up the "maus" epithet and flung it at Derek, see:

"David Morris"
>But then your standards are different than mine.

What standards would those be? Aside from a propensity to kiss 
"jbor's" butt and attack people who disagree with "jbor", "David 
Morris" hasn't exhibited any "standards" unless she refers to her 
routine resort to the type of insult that her @yahoo.com buddy "mike 
j" treated us to a while ago.

Here's the post where Derek called "jbor" on "jbor's" anti-Semitic 
slur, for the doubting Thomases out there who won't believe what I 
say:

First of all, asshole, my name is Derek, not "maus" (which is, as you no
doubt know, not only my last name but an insulting hurled toward Jews in
Germany, you little sweetie you...). If you wish to hide your little-frog
self behind your bigpond.com alias, that's fine with me, but I have a
name and I'd appreciate it if you use it when you refer to me.

...It's worth noting that Derek entered this particular discussion 
thread trying to get rj and me to stop the pissing match about the 
Holocaust and GR.  I backed away from that discussion then, and have 
done so again.  Although I do reserve the right to speak up if "jbor" 
and "David Morris" and the rest of that anonymous crowd continue to 
lie about what I've said.
