At the time the owner of the email account which posted that message
explained that he had not sent it, it was sent by a friend who had logged
in under his account. The account owner agreed that the message was
not funny and in poor taste.
Only one person posted that he thought it was funny. Everyone else
either objected or asked what ZOG meant.
This incident can hardly be considered evidence that Extropians are
anti-semitic.
