Vidrine is extremely offensive to me. Not only that, but he publishes lies about Judaism, Jews, Zionism, and Israel, not just opinions. Some of those lies, such as that there is a conspiracy that dominates Washington and the media, are of the sort that inflame anti- semitic incidents, like cemetary desecration and vandalism against synagogues. It would not be unreasonable to expect someone like Vidrine to stir up physical violence against Jews, at some point. Compared to Vidrine, this is a stupid tempest in a teapot.....

And a good answer ... but:

A lot of things besides "sex" are very personal to people, and often much more important as far as their mental well-being is concerned. I would include religion in that category. Moreover, "sexually-tinged" is pretty hard to get a grip on. Probably all the flirting in the world falls under that heading, and whenever men and women get together, in offices or on message boards, it goes on all the time. If it was a crime, we'd probably all be in jail.
