Umm, that's kind of a personal attack. It's also kind of odd coming
from the person who yesterday said on the list "Well, naturally Jay
would agree with you *rolls eyes*."

Wow, someone said you were an antisemite and neo-Nazi? Where?

No wonder you cracked down so hard on those people who were calling
Wikipedia editors "Mossad agents", "CIA agents", AIPAC agents",
"sluts", "whores", etc.

Oh wait. You didn't.

I could have sworn it had something to do with the creation of all
sorts of vandal sockpuppets - maybe you thought that was within
policy, though?

Err, yes, when the libel was being spread high and thick, and the
personal attacks were flying furiously, you definitely suggested they
keep it to the private area of the forum, though, of course, you
didn't actually enforce that. And that pretty much put an end to it,
I'm sure.

LOL!
