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.

Rick failed as a fair and balanced moderator. And since Rick

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.

/The reason Dan was kicked off, according to Rick is because Dan
threatened to report him to the ADL - that's not a very good
reason to ban someone from the group./ /Yahoo itself has
guidelines that are supposed to prevent such summary judgements.
Go figure./

Richard, you're welcome. And thank you too for posting that bit
from yahoo guidelines. And for making the point about blaming the
victim.

Actually, Dan has not been "courteous" to MJ but it doesn't
matter one way or another. Dan is pro TM and MJ is con. End
of story.

I don’t appreciate threats. 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.

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
