I'm not actually Jewish. Sloman is a west country name - there are more
Slomans in the Taunton telephone directory than there are in the London 
telephone directory, and my great-grandfather Sloman was born in Bristol 
in 1850, though the family promptly got on the boat to Australia.

There is a family of Slomans in Melbourne who are Jewish, but their 
grandparents were called Slominsky in Poland before they headed out to 
Australia around 1870. One of my chemistry lecturers was a member of the 
family (though he didn't have the Sloman surname).

You find inviting Bitrex to join a lynching party to be an inoffensive joke?

Like I said, you are morally defective, and that is not something you 
can apologise your way out of.
