I am quite willing to transfer my pledge of $50 (which was given in the
hope that the event would attract Attila, not Dimitri) to Ray's legal
defense fund.

I want to be clear that this transfer is only valid for defense.  If the
fund will be used to legally attack Dimitri, I'd like my money back.  That
falls in the category of inviting the courts to rule on net-disputes,
something I would like to discourage.  (Attacking Dimitri seems also to
fall into the category of bullshit suits, something else I would like to
discourage.)

You seem to be confused. No one suggested that I have any plans to sue
Ray Arachelian. Some of the lies he and Tim May posted to this mailing
list are probably actionable, but I don't believe in suing over something
said on the net.

Ray Arachelian has repeatedly threatened to sue me over my posts to this
mailing list, and that's what his legal fund is for. It is by no means a
legal "defense" fund.

A related question: when persons of Japanese descent (including 3rd generation
U.S. citizens) were rounded up during WW2 and confined to concentration camps,
where many died from deprivation and disease, why weren't persons of Armenian
descent similarly "interned"? Weren't they even more sympathetic to the Nazis
that persons of German descent?

Because people of Japanese heritage are far easier to spot in a crowd in
this country than people of western-European heritage.

Hmm... The fascist Roosevelt administration had to rely on Census records
to ferret out the suckers who identified themselves as having enemy japans
blood flowing in their veins.

I guess people of German descent weren't rounded up because there were so
many of them. (My grandmother is allegedly German.)

Armenians aren't western-European and certain't don't look European, IMO.
