Comments on: Comments policy, once again http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2007/12/30/comments-policy-once-again/ I am an astronomer, writer, and skeptic. I likes reality the way it is, and I aims to keep it that way. My real name is Phil Plait, and I run the Bad Astronomy blog.

Ya jews are relatively successful and no doubt hold a much higher proportion of wealth than non-Jews. So whats the problem? Maybe others should try to emulate Jewish success instead of looking at ways of handicapping them. Arguably the smartest phycist in human history is a jew. I dont hear anyone saying Jews hold too many top physics/maths positions. Funny how Jews are blamed for their wealth or political influence, but not for their great services to science and the arts. That contrast shows just how insane the Jew-baiters really are. Barton,
