Thread Name: HEY! Bennet D. Zurofsky Esq!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Subject: RE: HEY! Bennet D. Zurofsky Esq!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He was out of line because he drew attention to what clearly could only be read as an anti-semitic remark?

No--if anyone is responsible for this misunderstanding, it is Larry, for not proofreading his post.

That remark, typo or not, was appalling to read. Absolutely appalling. Bennet had no choice under the cirumstance but to respond, and did so very graciously, IMO. Let us not forget that no one had mentioned it prior to him Whistle Stop. No one. And I think your demand that he publicly accept the apology is way out of line. Way, way out of line. And your demand that he do so is infuriating to me.

What right do you have to dictate to a Jewish person how they should or shouldn't handle an incident like this? How dare you?
