"victim"?? There was no victim. Dan clearly escalated things with that bizarre letter to the JDL, and getting all bent out of shape. Holding no cows sacred is the vibe on here, and I am sorry if he felt that anyone was going after him, personally. Dan was also very up front, even aggressive in his attitudes, and his opinions. I would never think of him as a "victim", and I doubt he thinks of himself in that way. Simply because you liked his presence, doesn't mean that he wasn't kicked off for good reason. I liked some of what he posted, also.

It looks like if you make a threat to report the FFL moderator for incompetence, he might retaliate and ban you from the group. Now that's a real thought-stopper!

I don’t have the time or interest to moderate the group in the manner which you require. I have removed both you and jedi spock from the group. That should solve your problem. From: Daniel Friedman [mailto:danielfriedman.friedman@ mailto:danielfriedman.friedman@...] Sent: Friday, October 3, 2014 1:50 PM To: Rick Archer Subject: Fwd: Take a Look at this from Fairfieldlife today Dear Mr Rick Archer, I have sent Notice to the Jewish ADL about the anti-Semitism rampant at the Yahoo Group Fairfieldlife of which you are Moderator. Instead of opening a Formal Complaint for Investigation and Referral for Enforcement, ADL's Representative recommended that I contact you to request that you maintain control over "jedi_spock" credentials; i.e. all Yahoo Group Fairfieldlife Registration information collected as part of Registration in the Group. And while you have indicated that I am to monitor the posting of "jedi_spock", I feel you, as Yahoo Group Fairfieldlife Moderator are responsible for reporting discriminatory behavior. Perhaps you feel differently, but the entire congregation of The Temple I attended this morning feel differently. This is no longer a matter to be settled between the two of us. This serves as my Formal Notice. Daniel Friedman copies
