You are correct that you often ask me for restraint in discussions about the Middle East. You also know that I am an IAF veteran. It is insulting that someone who seems to have served our people by getting writers cramp should tell those of us who fought in wars we should be ashamed of ourselves for the way we defend our people.

Dear Thumper --
No insult was intended, but in any event, I am truly sorry and sincerely apologize for that impression.
Now, that it seems that Randy is finally paying some attention to this matter, as my private e-mails to him went unanwered as to the status of the investigation of Stimpy, I suggest something novel.
You see, it was not I who had asked Randy to review all of Stimpy's (or for that matter, my) posts; rather, I just brought to his attention those that I felt crossed the bounds of civil discourse.
So in the interests of time, I formally ask Randy to temporarily suspend his investigation of Stimpy, so that he may concentrate on Boo Boo Kitty's posts. (Yes, I said it.)
First, although Stimpy's post are horrendous, hers/his go even beyond that, and therefore, I formally bring charges against her/him.
Moreover, inasmuch as he/she has only a small number of posts,
no laborious and time-consuming investigation will result, as it apparently does with my complaint against Stimpy.
I take note that AVGAZ who was banned for his anti-Gay comments about a FT member also had few posts, and that, in addition, Randy was at the very least close down Muminah's threads, because she too, had a small number of posts. Further, that thread was shut down quite rapidly, so I forsee no difficulty with a prompt and speedy resolutiion of my request for an investigation of the one I named above.
I would ask for one of R&R, but at 200 posts, I fear that would only delay my request.
And I again request Randy that he permit me to send or post our corresspondences to one another in relation to Stimpy, as he states that he has nothing to hide.
I wished it had not come to this, but apparently, the permissive attitude around here has allowed people to take the view that it is "open season" on Jews within these pages, and I will endeavor to dissuade them of that fact by like means.
Finally, I thought that my christening her/him with that name was quite humorous as since she evidently is against circumcision, she must accept the potential consequences of her decision.
It is a pity that some of you only thought to criticize me for that name, but have been, and still are, silent as to his/her truly offensive analogy of one of my religion's holiest rites.
Well, it is truly enlightening as to what priorities some of you have around here really do hold.
