Re: [metatuning] Re: Obnoxious

Well, since there are plenty of obnoxious to go around, I thought maybe it
was time to change the subject title.

It seems to me that Peter does not want to be called, or even considered an
anti-semite. I certainly am more than tire of seeing the term "obnoxious Jews"
bandied about.

It also calls into question once again, the use of this forum to promote or
denigrate any single people or country. It may be misconstrued, used for
outside political purposes, or used to hurt individuals.

Writing this with Comedy Central's "Hebrew Hammer," and just taking note of
the snow outside the window. It is common to Jewish culture to create comedy,
to laugh fully and infectiously. I'm in a beautiful early sunday mood and I
don't want to alter it for anything or anybody.

Enjoy the winter season!

best, Johnny Reinhard

in fact, there was created and still exists another forum
for us in the tuning community where members are encouraged
to be aggressive:

/tuning-challenges/

Are you defending the use of the 'tuning' forum to denigrate a single
individual?

Palestine is just hilarious, Johnny. A real Jewish comedy.

Wasn't it the Greeks that created a ratio of comedy/tragedy? Maybe there is
something to that.

Regardless, I do not think of Palestine in comedic terms. It is also a
non-sequitor to what I wrote about. For me the situation for Palestinians is
horrible. Just because I have an opinion and express it does not mean I can fit
into someone's perfect expectation of me. I would imagine you would agree.

best, Johnny

I'll say! The world without Jewish comedy would be a sad
place indeed... what's that Seinfeld episode where his dentist
is converting for the jokes? Hysterical. I don't have cable
but Comedy Central is enough to make me want it.

Are we allowed to talk about 'black comedy' any more - or will I get
the PC Police knocking on my door in the middle of the night to cart
me off to a secret death camp in Mugabeland?
