The anger in the posts was definitely aimed at current Christians, but it was often phrased (as I read it) as a criticism of Christianity in and of itself taking the Jewish stories for its own purposes, which felt excessive to me. Though in going back and skimming to refresh myself, it really is anger at the way that Christianity now/historically (i.e., once none of its followers thought of themselves as Jews) has treated/thought about Judaism . . . in a way which sort of blurs into talking about Christianity in and of itself, because the posters were angry and hurt and not making any claims to be crafting thorough wholly logical arguments, but yeah, my impression of an opposition to Christianity per se might well have been a bit of an overreading on my part, especially since I was reacting emotionally as well.
