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.
