I want to re-re-remind net contributors about the misuse of titles. Although I am honored by the title Reverend prepended to my name "Bob" ( though Rev is meant derisively by the caller), it is improper and offensive to do that. I am not a Reverend. Back when Yiri BenDavid was: a) Nailing that red-neck, Christian, jackass Bob Brown to the wall. OR b) scandalously abusing me with vilifications and half-truth. (a or b above depends on your point of view of course) one of the sneers he employed was "Rev. Bob". He published an apology for that after he was chided privately by other Jews thru the mail. ** I might note that other self identified Jews picked up the "Rev Bob" sneer and NO ONE attacked that behavior publicly.** If you remember history, Mr Hitler's party members used to while away their free time back in the late '20s abusing identifiable Jews and especially Rabbis. My point is that the Holocaust starts in behavior like that and our latest misuser of titles, Mr Bill Peter ought to realize the hate filled potential of his sneer at Reverend Bob. Hey Bill Peter - feel free to vilify ME - please don't attack a symbol of Christianity. It's kind of like killing a fly with a nine pound hammer. Tacky Tacky. Bob Brown {...ihnp4!akgua!rjb}
