18 CommentsThough this workshop would probably have been more appropriate at Columbia circa 1982, things around Columbia have been pretty crazy lately. Constant vigilance!

@Anonymous You know, it is a bit sketchy that you don’t even bother to put a “Comment deleted by moderator” notice or something, like you used to do a few years ago. Deleting the whole comment, timestamp and all, is just shady, even if you’re justified.
Just sayin’.
@Eliza I’ve spoken to the original commenter personally and we’ve resolved this issue.
@Eliza We deleted an anti-Semitic comment that was both offensive and totally irreverent. Please consult our comment policy or email eliza@bwog.com if you have any questions.
@Anonymous Eliza, you seem to have a pretty interesting and broad conception of “anti-Semitic.” Krav Maga is a martial arts system used by the Israeli military. As you may or may not have heard, the Israeli military is kind of controversial these days. As a Jew, a student of Middle Eastern history, and a Columbia student, I am FED UP with people assuming that any criticism of Israel and the people who adore it–irreverent or not–is “anti-Semitic.” Was my comment irreverent? Sure. Was it offensive? Maybe to the kind of person who would sign up for Krav Maga classes for the reasons I was poking fun at. Was it “anti-Semitic”? Only to someone who equates Israel and its partisans with all Jews everywhere–which, ironically enough, is exactly what Israel’s defenders accuse anti-Zionists of when they equate criticism of Israel with anti-Semitism. Maybe you should make it clear on all posts relating to Israel that criticism or satire that paints Israel and/or Zionists in a negative light won’t be tolerated.
@Eliza I appreciate your response, but this is not the forum to have a discussion about this issue. Please see this part of our comment policy:
There are bounds on that discussion, however. We reserve the right to delete comments that are off-topic or that discriminate on the basis of ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, or spiritual belief. Self-promotional and advertorial comments may also be removed.
At the very least, your comment was completely irreverent (i.e off-topic) and the Bwog staff didn’t believe it should stay up on this post, which was intended to be light-hearted. Please contact me directly if you have any further questions.
@... I saw the original post and there was nothing “anti-Semitic” about it. Anti-Israeli, yes, but not anti-Semitic. It’s about time people learned that there’s a difference between the two.
Also, by “irreverent,” don’t you actually mean “irrelevant?” Because the former doesn’t make sense at all here, or in your earlier post.
@... wow, way to censor comments, bwog.
@why what did they censor?
@>:O!! “No groin, no krav maga!”
@Anonymous I’m 12 years old, and what is this?!?

@GOD BLESS YOU ARCHER IS THE BEST SHOW IN TEH WORLD
@Anonymous how do you sign up?
@Tag? “like omg hp7 s coming out soon!!!”? Your blatant tag abuse has left Archbishop Desmond Tutu very concerned.
@Anonymouse It’s not tag abuse if it relates to something in the post… in this case, a reference to HP4.
@USE YOUR BODY AS A KNIFE
@Anonymouse Any actual information about the workshop?
