Jester, I'm not the slightest bit Jewish or even related to any Jews (I'm from a long line of Catholics, lapsed myself). Even I'm offended by the terms that woman used. I'll admit that I jokingly use the term nazi (call myself a grammar or spelling nazi on the two forums I moderate), which so offended my Jewish friend from Chicago that he didn't speak to me for a week over it, and I've tried to be a bit more sensitive and not use those terms. But to use the words "Jewish" or "Jew" as derogatory terms is completely inecusable, just as it would be to call someone less intelligent a "Newfie" or a "Pollack" like my dad does, or to call any muslim person a "towel-head" like my grandmother does. *sigh*
YOu were definitely the better person, and I, for one, am very proud of you for controlling yourself - not sure I could have.
