Same here, more or less, but a little different to me.  I didn't for one
second see it as ANTI-SEMETIC.  In fact, I had to read several of Terry's
messages to TRY to find the offending one.  Not that Terry is not offensive
-- because he clearly is.  : )  But did he mean "to the showers" as
anti-Semitism?  It did not ring of that to me.  But then, who knows what
lurks in the hearts of men.
I thought it had something to do with some sort of joke about a bunch of
"us" being in the chat room together, or some nonsense in typical jest, and
needing to go cleanse ourselves.  (Like HK would really be in there in
there doing whatever -- that kind of nonsense, I mean)  Or, the "I'm outta
here," or "you're outta here" kind of statement.  "Game over," so to speak,
or signifying the end of discussion.
