Dear Ken,
I think there has been much language that has been hateful, untrue,
obnoxious, or gratuitously unpleasant. Steve Pollack objected to the Israel as
Nazi regime metaphor that is making the rounds. I concurred to his objection.
I didn't make known the bad taste of Peter's minstrel comment. I take him at
his word that he hadn't meant to be hateful, but I didn't understand his
reasoning for it. I'm grateful to Patrick for the historical context.
Yours,
Marcia
