JR Telegraph has an email circulated by "secular Jewish" group Workmen's Circle inviting its members to a discussion over whether to support the ongoing series of lawsuits filed by the Islamic Society of Boston against a number of area groups and individuals (no doubt soon to include my cat) stemming from their beleaguered Boston Mosque project. Apparently, ISB's attorney, Howard Cooper, is pressuring the group to sign on.

Comment Info and Policy:
1) You must have Javascript enabled in your browser in order to comment (blame the spammers). If you don't know what that is, you're probably fine.
2) HTML is on, so basic html should work. Raw links will be made auto-clickable, too, so even if you don't know html you can just paste in the link and it should work fine. Keep the "http://" in it.
3) Comments are generally unmoderated, which means I don't necessarily agree with the tone and tenor of everything posted. In fact, sometimes people post things they don't really mean just to make other people look bad. The internet is an anonymous place for the most part. That said...
4) I welcome you to post here. I'd love to have your input, agree, disagree or just offer a different data point, really. If I didn't want any participation, I'd turn off comments. Be aware, however, that this blog and the comments section exist for my entertainment. Therefore, I reserve ALL RIGHTS here, including the right to remove any or all comments on nothing more than a whim. Please don't even bother complaining. I'm the one providing the space and the free news and thought buffet. I don't owe anyone anything.
Anyone who posts here will be treated as my guest. That means I'm happy to be polite as a default, but if anyone is rude to the host they'll be unceremoniously shown the door.
It may pay to recall a famous line from the Tom Selleck magnum opus, Mr. Baseball: "Jack-san, you want Yoji's advice about the babes, you come to Yoji with respect."
5) Enjoy your stay!
If anyone went to last night's meeting, I'd like to hear what happened. I unfortunately had another obligation.
Workman's Circle should avoid taking either side of this dispute, because both have behaved badly. One wants to prevent a religious group from building a place of worship; the other wants to shout down free speech with SLAPP lawsuits. A pox on both.
