I must say, Gavin, your allowing a Jew to refer to himself or an acquaintance as a Jew (or, use the term Jew-food, an exact descriptor) while not allowing a goy to employ the same term in a collegial manner is something I find - unfortunate. Its the same problem I have with black people having license to use a certain perjorative. Just because one is of a certain ethnic background does not, In my admittedly not humble opinion, bestow the right to employ terms others might find objectionable. Pity the poor WASPs.
Now, ALex is a sick and twisted SOB by his own admission.

Were I to refer to him as such in a related post, all concerned would know the context and none would take offense. I think Silverman would be overjoyed to be termed sexy in almost any context, and to have Matt D lampoon his friend by saying he was schtupping her - hilarious. But then, I too have been accused of having a sick and twisted sense of humor.
