Tsk tsk

I know, why don’t I insult somebody with info I got from somebody else.

Spencer, as you apparently know, since we appear to be only the third website in the vast constellation of websites known as the internet to be selected to receive a commercial for a new internet paper by Norman Golb, Raphael Golb once used this website to attack a professor for anti-Semitism just because. Raphael Golb was given a jail sentence for what he did to Professor Lawrence Schiffman and here you are plugging his father's new criticism of Schiffman. It appears from email exchanges that Norman Golb's wife and other son knew about some of Raphael's activities and perhaps even aided him, so you would think that Norman would show some humility and contrition instead of writing a half-assed paper* attacking Schiffman. Obviously, this isn't so. While we often forgive strange characters with strange IP addresses posting on our site, in this case we will not play along with efforts on behalf of the convicted Raphael Golb or his father. I will be generous and say that if you are connected in any way to Raphael or Norman Golb, you may inform Norman that if he has something he wants to say to Jewlicious, he can comment right here himself. I would enjoy the opportunity to explain to him why I think his latest paper is half-assed. *opinion of The Middle

Interesting. Which college? Did he show any promise of having a future, um, in the news?

You are writing from an interesting place. If you don’t mind revealing where, I’d be curious to know what you’re doing there. Do you live there?

Oy vey, I went to college with Raphy.

I suppose you could say it’s an overgrown father complex, as part of an insanity defense.

You got that right. I’m afraid he comes off a little crazy. With the level of activity he generated – the blogs, the aliases, the emails and relentless communication, this mission of his was a full time job. When did he have time to practice law. I do feel bad for him but he really seems to have harmed his victims in a serious way.

Why do I feel like this post needs a Kaiser Soze reference.

Yeah, because you know how I hate to debate and usually back off when challenged.

This evil must be done away with root and branch. All disagreement with Middle should be criminalized.
