If BenDavid finds something in net.religion or someday perhaps net.religion.christian that is incorrect (vis a vis Jews) or worse - anti-Semitic then he is free, NAY OBLIGATED, to skewer the offender frequently and hard. However, as a Christian if I find something that IN MY OPINION, is in error or offensive (to Christianity) in net.religion.jewish then I should keep quiet about it because it was only mentioned " in passing " and " not of interest " to Jews according to YBD. I submit that this is prima facie evidence of a double standard. If you're gonna zap errors and nastiness in net.anywhere than you should expect that you will get back similar scrutiny.
