I am not assassinating Yigal's  character.  I am assassinating (ridiculing,
actually) the text which he put on the net.  If it bugs you that I could
find something to ridicule in the tract that Yigal posted, which was about
the most vindictive, ill-stated, one-sided piece of propaganda I have ever
had the pleasure to chuckle at, then your sense of humor is dangerously
weak.  Incidentally, having exchanged several letters with Yigal, I am
of the opinion that we may never totally agree on several issues which I
think are important, but that when he isn't trying to deliberately irritate
some group or other (as with the pamphlet he quoted onto the net) that he
is relatively polite and is in the process of growing into a reasoning
and mature person (a lifelong task for most of us).

Incidentally, Jon, if it really bugs you that much, send me private
mail or stop by my desk, I don't bite, and it saves us from having to
discuss things in public that really aren't of generral interest.
