Thanks for hearing me out, and for your friendly willingness to hear other points of view. I do in fact agree with you about the main problem that ensued - the way the tone and the anger intensified, on both supportive and defensive sides. And some of the actual anti-semitism that showed up in the later comments left me aghast.
I will leave you with a recent happening at the synagogue I work for: we're a prominent, large place, and we attract tourists. A group of Mennonite young adults came to services, listened respectfully and went on a docent-guided tour...where they asked the volunteer what kind of animals we used for our sacrifices.

They were deadly serious.
