Kindly explain how what I wrote is different from what I was
responding to.

To refresh your memory, here's what someone wrote about my complaint
that KRF's policy of not letting people who keep kosher bring in their
own food is discriminatory:

>There are two choices I see...
>Fix the problem youself ( see the idea above)
>or
>Whine and cry to other people until they either fix it for you or start
>insulting you because they are tired of putting up with your whining.

and here's what I wrote:

>I suppose the person who made that point would have no trouble
>saying, "Hey, if a storekeeper posts a `No Jews allowed' sign,
>you can fix the problem yourself by starting your own store,
>or you can whine and cry to other people until they either fix
>it for you or start insulting you because they are tired of

What I wrote is an exact parallel to what I was responding to, UNLESS
you believe that KRF's policy isn't discriminatory. Fine, that's a
legitimate position to hold, as I believe I've already acknowledged
several times, although I obviously disagree with it.

If, on the other hand, the policy is indeed discriminatory, then it is
as reasonable for me to be upset about it and work to convince KRF to
change it, as it would be for anyone to be upset about a merchant
refusing to sell to Jews.

Why you think that's such an outrageous idea that it causes your eyes
to roll, I don't know. Why you can't discuss the relevant issues
civilly rather than resorting to personal attacks, I also don't know.
