I'm sorry you took it this way. This is what my Jewish husband always said in high school. I meant no disrespect.Bevvie says,
Mary, we knew you meant no disrespect! I wanted to comment earlier, but I thought that you should have the first response, and you did well.Jeffji says,
Two kinds of Jews read Smith Magazine: the ones with a sense a humor, and the one who wrote that comment.JbY says,
I'm a goy who studies (even Sages). maybe that explains it! and not catholic, but disrespect is disrespect and not acceptable. sorry for harsh reproof mcmary, choose words carefully, dad said i have too much righteous indignation thats both problem and preservation.Believe says,
JbY, let he who is without fault throw the first stone. You might want to tighten up on your word choice before you enter guns blazing. Also, you might consider reading the body of work that marymc has posted to make certain that you aren't misinterpreting her intention. I doubt any of us want to be judged solely on one memoir chosen at random. I'm quite certain you wouldn't. This website is such a diverse community and is such a nice example of diversity working together. Let's keep it that way.JbY says,
Well said, Believe, point taken, thank you for good counsel. JbY
