I liked that bit, it's a pity you took it out! C'mon, nobody really worries about irgendwelche Sympathien or historischen Verantwortung, right? I'd be quite surprised if Eliezer was in any way offended ...
By the way, I'm in Paris so there's a small possibility I might make it to a German meetup if it happens to be convenient, but it's still pretty unlikely (I speak some German, but forgot a lot; I like practicing when I can).
Naturally I find it funny, too;) But think about it: It's the first time lesswrong members from Germany meet, and they already make jokes about Jews, and how they will take over the world.
I'd be surprised if Eliezer was offended, too, but I guess it just wasn't worth the risk of annoying possible readers. I'm pretty new here and most don't know me very well, so I probably should make such jokes in private or where the chance of misinterpretation is otherwise very low. I wish I were a Jew, then I could make jokes about Hitler all the time, and everybody would understand that I'm definitely not a Nazi. ( I really envy Matt Stone...)
This would be great!
