I thank you for posting it. In retrospect (and consequent to coaxing from my Jewish peers), it may not have been the best of judgement to employ the kind of ridicule toward Mr. Brown that he sees as so harmless toward others. I'm not sure I agree that it wasn't called for. On the other hand, I'm no more infallible than the next guy and am willing to defer to the consensus of fellow Jews whenever it is reasonable. Certainly, as Jews we wish to be harmless toward others rather than foment harm as has so often been done to us. For this reason I offer my apology to Mr. Brown for the sarcastic use of the phrase 'Rev Bob'. (However, I remain resolutely behind the rest of the article.)
