You've got me wrong

If only you knew me you would see how silly it was for you to accuse me of intejecting my own personal bias. I am merely trying to state the case for the reasonable anti-zionist and set that apart from the anti-semitic anti-zionist. But, please, stop the name calling and inuendo and the false conclusions.

Really, Mshonle, you're one to talk. Read over your comments to me; see how full they are of accusations and innuendo that I have an "agenda" to equate anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism, that I am somehow threatened by your insertions, etc. Then look over my comments for even one case of "name calling"; you won't find any.

Jayjg, I trust you might actually want to make some additions to the project than just kicking up dust on talk pages. I'm convinced your intentions are noble, but some double-checking (the type that would have prevented your comment on Talk:Ultra-Orthodox Judaism) might help. Also be reminded that refraining from personal attacks is important Misplaced Pages policy. JFW | T@lk 08:04, 23 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Jfdwolff, I was highly insulted by your post to me in talk:ultra-Orthodox Judaism, in which you insinuated that I had not even read the article about which I was commenting. I'm also insulted by your implication that I have made any personal attacks here on Misplaced Pages, and would like you to point out any. I'm having a hard time getting beyond these issues with you.

O.K., you apologized for the talk:ultra-Orthodox Judaism thing, thank you. Jayjg 15:15, 24 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Frankly, I'm having difficulty recollecting what prompted my above message. Having been around here a little while I've developed a (perhaps unhealthy) weariness of a particular type of discussion, and sometimes jump the gun in responding. Please accept my apologies again; may we work on many articles together in a constructive fashion. JFW | T@lk 21:08, 24 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Demographics & Russian Poland

Hi Jayjg, Please see Jewish diaspora for the latest numbers I picked up from Jpost. In regards to Ru. Poland, I am familiar with the area, but this is the 1st time I meet this term. AFAIK, it is called either Ukraine, Byelorussia or Lithuania. Post-1795 and post-Napoleon those parts of Poland belonged to Russian Empire. Next division was in 1939 which is beyond the scope.

Hi Humus. Russian Poland is not the Ukraine, ByeloRussia, or Lithuania, but the Polish speaking territories controlled by Russia, which Russia lost after World War I. Jayjg 19:14, 29 Jun 2004 (UTC)
