Ah, the perils of the practicing ethicist: Randy Cohen (the NY Times version of me) took some heat for an answer he gave in last week’s column. Those of you not in NYC may be confused about the logic by which some Jews would call other Jews anti-Semitic, but I assure you that this is a bona fide occupational hazard, or geographical hazard, or what you will. (And his answer in the original piece? Yes, he probably deserved that whupping. It was a bad call and bad advice.)
