Of course. Is any of us? But, who's the "judge" of that? Although, I take 
it your own worthiness is judged solely by yourself. It figures... 
Considering your habitual prejudicial judging of everyone and everything 
else. 

As for addressing you... Anyone who addresses me in such personal terms, 
deserves to be addressed back tit for tat. Besides, I don't "need your 
permission" to respond to any letter in open forum, as I please. 

How can (and where did) I give my "permission" for you to be, do or say 
anything you please? (But, you might try pausing to think a bit before you 
pop off your [not so "civil"] bons mots. :^) I was only surmising before, 
considering your not so subtle innuendoes -- so it's good to know now that 
you admit to being "antisemitic." BTW, if you don't like anyone considering 
and responding to whatever you say in whatever terms they please, don't post 
it on public forums.
