(this is not meant to imply that i consider any of the above persons as an extremist; just trying to make a point here...) does it really make a difference to you whether an antisemitic rant comes from an average dumbass or from bobby fischer? in fact, coming from a person equipped with a real brain, i find such rants even more disturbing! cheers martin
