Sometimes, it's just being off topic

When you go off topic, to spam someone who writes about math with antisemitic messages, you've got a problem. Of course, it doesn't help to start your comment with "You fucking Jew," but if you're looking at a computer scientist and all you can see is a Jew, you don't have to go down that "fucking Jew" road.

I'm working on more substantive, mathy posts, but in the meantime, I'm pissed, so I'm making a quick off-topic post.

With the horrible things that are going on in Gaza right now, I've gotten a raft of antisemitic spam. Most of it has been through private mail, but some has been in comments on the blog.
