No, Doug. I referred to him by his surname.

I did briefly consider sending an apology, and pleading innocence, at the
time. But I decided that when Derek made that accusation he was fully aware
that it wasn't true, that he was just using it as another insult to hurl at
me -- a type of exploitative dishonesty on his part that was both unfair to
me and disrespectful to Jewish people -- and that the best thing would be to
let it drop.
I realise now, of course, that unless I publish a counter-claim to every
false accusations you make against me then you will dredge it up against me
later as proof of guilt.
