Whatever you say anti-semite terror puppet.

I'd just like to point out that, since the Arabs are Semites every bit
as much as the Jews are, anybody who's pro-Arab, whatever else they may
be, cannot *by definition* be an anti-semite.

Sorry, Alex, you're wrong here. The problem here is that you're making
sense, and you assume that language should make sense too. But it
doesn't, necessarily. The dictionary says that "anti-Semite" has
specifically to do with hostility toward Jews, so that's what the
definition is, period---regardless of what it looks like it *ought* to
mean. (My source is www.m-w.com, in case it matters.)

Really, since you play a game where you use the terms "Grand Slam
Force" to refer to a bid that doesn't force to a grand slam, and
"Unusual Notrump" to refer to a bid that everyone and his brother
plays, you shouldn't be making a mistake like that.
