Your hate directed toward the JCC was 1999 and at that time you immediately tried to tender an "apology" which your victims found self-serving and insincere. Maybe not so much has changed.
You are mistaken. I never issued any apology to the Albert L. Schultz Jewish Community Center in Palo Alto, California. After they called a public rally, complete with Joan Baez publicly denouncing me, I deemed our accounts in balance.
In any event, I have been repeatedly denounced for refusing to embrace White Nationalism, by people who's opinions are of more interest to me than yours (by simple virtue of the fact that I am much better acquainted with them), even if I do remain a radical rightist on various issues on socio-political controversy. In our society, many former neo-Nazis and the like suddenly turn 180 degrees and become liberals. I leave it to the reader to decide which is more likely to be sincere, the former neo-Nazi who wakes up one day and declares "Multiculturalism is actually a
GREAT idea!," or the one who has simply altered his worldview to some significant extent over the passage of years, but remains an adherent to opinions still deemed unfashionable by the dominant majority.

Nobody responded to my suggestion
Why was this do you think?
The overwhelming evidence is that most people on the planet are not particularly motivated to think very deeply about much of anything, let alone write a brief essay on a subject of intellectual depth.
It's so much easier just to glide past these things, or blithely dismiss the thoughtful work of others as incomprehensible nonsense or utter bollocks.
Well, for the record, I've never read
Don Quixote, and thus wasn't under the impression my opinions about it would contain any great insight.
