Audrey,

I retracted my statement because gtg's last post showed that his statements
were truly felt, and he did not just use hyperbola in the post I was
replying to. Also, I honestly meant what I said about not implying an
anti-Semitic undertone in gtg,s post. His comment simply rekindled memories
of some historical facts which I commented on, and which I thought may be of
some interest to the members of the list. Gtg was only the seed. That was
the point.

All minorities tend to be sensitive to real or perceived slights, and
perhaps too many tend to see bigotry in comments or actions where none
exists; however the subtle and unsubtle attitudes to which I referred were
real and can be discussed. Gtg's comments, on the other hand, were not
anti-Semitic.

It is not clear to me why you suddenly retracted your statement that gtg was
'carried away with the moment', nor do I understand why you brought up the
point about antisemitism at all if you didn't intend it to be in any way an
aspersion cast on gtg. What was the point?!....
