Proposed Gene Wolfe Symposium

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

What does being a Jew have to do with anything? I am, in fact,=20
ethnically ashkenazi, but everyone who sees me considers me to
be a white person, as I consider myself to be a white person.

Ashkenazi are all pretty white, and about half of us aren't even=20

I don't see that. I didn't insult the whole list. I insulted Dan,
and I have apologized to Dan.

If you feel insulted by my insulting Dan, I suppose it doesn't cost
me anything to apologize to you. I'm sorry, Andy.=20
