“Not familiar with the term, didn’t expect anything of that sort from him and thirdly, if you object to his presence (rightfully or not), there should be objection to many other’s as well”
+1. I would like to say in Avi K’s defense, that I do think the comment was atypical for him. I think that he is someone who does try to avoid negative comments about other posters, people, or groups. It is possible that, as he implied, he was coming from a place of being upset about comments others have made about other groups. I am not saying that made the comment okay; I am just being “dan l’kaf zchus” regarding the source since I do think it was atypical, and is not a reflection of what he is about.
