the evidence for shipman eing jewish is greater than the evidence for him
not being jewish.
shouldnt the question be why are certain posters hell bent on removing this
background information.
i didn't put the first reference there, it was removed and i put it back
again

hi Philip,
like i said, the few references we have on shipmans background
claim him to
be jewish
Those references are *not reliable*. It's unacceptable to put
unreliable information in the wiki, period.
If it was reliably established that he was Jewish, there would be no
problem. Since it isn't reliably established, reporting that he was
Jewish, or that he might be Jewish, constitutes anti-Semitism.
Why are you so hell-bent on making this poorly-supported case that he
is Jewish, anyway?
