  Yakim,

    That was totally uncalled for. No one was pointing fingers at anyone, so
 why did you have to start. The net is not for you to go degrading the 
 Ashkenazim at every opportunity. The S'faradim did get a raw deal, granted.
 But you article does nothing to improve their situation, nor does it endear
 S'faradim to anyone because some people see you as their mouth-piece and are
 turned off by your constant screaming and yelling( although you haven't been
 yelling so much these past few months ).

    In the past, I would have sent you a private letter, but you seem to ignore
 them so I am posting this as an article for all to see. Stop the yelling, and
 instead try to work together as a united people, yes I believe in unity and
 religious inclination makes no difference ( in fact a diversity of opinions
 makes for a fairer system ), to prevent such wrongs from occuring again. The
 Beit Hamikdash was destroyed because of infighting amongst the Jews, let us 
 try to unite and work together.
