There is nothing more Jewish than a bunch of Jews sitting around arguing over how "not" important we are or aren't. Our Bubbe's would be so proud! I just want to use the word Meta in a sentence, can I just do that? Holy dear l-rd, how did I miss this conversation?

Sheesh - I thought it would be fun to grab the name. Someone then even wrote a post -- how can it be that the blog "JBLOGOSPHERE" is "owned" by a blogger named Jameel? Its just a reference point - put whatever the heck you feel like on it? Weekkly Haveil Havalim Stuff. Purim Parody Stuff. Heck, I'll point it straight to jewlicious if it'll make you tone down your rant. Whats the big deal? So what if not everyone's been around here as long as you have? Chodesh tov! Shavua tov!

“”Jerusalem if I forget you let my right hand forget what its supposed to do”"

It just hit me that it’s a funny one.

Perhaps you could elucidate for me why a post saying "Jewish blogging is inconsequential, including this blog" demands that I be put in my place? I mean, it's not like I'm godforbid ascribing importance to myself - that's your job, although we must admit that I'm funnier and sometimes, that is what the people want. Although sometimes the people also want a screed against scalpel-waving Jewish feminists from Hell (which by the way is the name of my new rockabilly band), so we all have our niche. Now, furthermore, I don't see how exactly <i>your</i> place justifies you to determine <i>my</i> place, but I'll let it slide this time. As far as my radical Zionist lifestyle changes, well, sometimes being radical is far more interesting than stagnating. I mean, sure, I <i>could</i> just become another one of the legion of New Yorkers who are busy investing themselves in the NEW JEWISH CULTURE that is chiefly of interest to other New Yorkers, or I could go to some place with an emotional pull, great weather, hiking and good hummus. Surely you can appreciate such radicalism, Kelsey. After all, you do write for the radical Jewish weblog. I’m confused.

The only thing I did in terms of following the story was corrctly interpret the Jewish Press condemnation of his mailing as bracing their community for a shit storm, and signalling to their community that the allegations he was making were true. In this small thing, I was correct. No big deal to be sure. But here, you took a shot at him from out of the blue, and I responded in his defense. Be fair. You brought him up to dismiss. I just responded and put you in your place, which you need on occassion, with all your radical Zionist lifestyle changes and such.

Just sick. Can't sleep at night. It's awful. I have "UOJ" painted on the wall in blood. But then I tell myself, well, maybe I'm not as groundbreaking as the Circumcision Crusader, but at least I'm not attaching myself to anyone's coattails and sucking at the teat of their fifteen minutes. Because that's just...undignified. I’m green with envy, Kelsey. Just sick. Can’t sleep at night. It’s awful. I have “UOJ” painted on the wall in blood.

Well, I can't say I blame you. After all, your much touted "upcoming" <i>New York Magazine</i> story wasn't 8 pages now, was it? No, not quite. Hey, maybe it is unfair that Jews who write that Hamas sucks isn't considered as groundbreaking, but that is, so far, the reality. When you get 8 pages in the same magazine for your fine work, I will be all ears about how UOJ doesn't matter. Michael, are you jealous of UOJ? Well, I can’t say I blame you.
