To the contrary, dear friend. I even received a nice call from a
Rabbi thanking me for taking the time to understand the issue from a
Jew's perspective.

Send me your email, and I'll favor you with a copy.

Some of my writings against the Sopranos went "viral" and were
emailed and repreinted nationwide. It's a thrill when you wake up
one morning and your emial is full of messages from around the
country.

Funny that it upsets us? Gets on our nerves?
Someone yesterday told me I was making too big a deal over that
matter, citing "sticks and stones will break my bones but words will
never hurt me."
I responded, "Words will never hurt you? Come sit in on a few jury
trials with me, when fortunes and freedoms are at stake. Tell me
then that words will never hurt you. THAT'S ALL THAT HURTS YOU."
More specifically, its the prejudices imprinted on our minds from
stereotypes that hurts us in Court.
Words mean things. They matter alot.
