-----------------------------------------------
Dave, your last sentence is self-contradictory.  Either discussions
of the validity of the Torah and Judaism belong in this newsgroup or
they don't.  If they do, observant Jews should expect to have their
basic assumptions attacked.  If not, most (if not all) of Rosen's
postings about Judaism do not belong in this newsgroup.  As for me, I
vote for Rosen.  For example, where else except in this newsgroup should
someone attack Samet's (or the Torah's) basic assumtions about homosexuality?
