Brooklyn didn’t really mean it either… A lot of the Orthodox Jews living in Brooklyn seem to think that they are indeed living in an 18th century European ghetto, so it’s certainly possible that they did. > [@MrDibble](#): > > This paragraph would have relevance when I call someone a “House X” _in this thread_.

It’s about _the post_ effectively calling Moser a _moser_. > > If you want to discuss my posts from outside this thread on “Uncle Tom” or “House X” , I’m _happy_ to follow up in the Pit in either your or my dedicated Pit thread.
