I hope everyone “got your point”, though I have my doubts. People can just be outright rude. Wouldn’t it be nice now to see a lot of apologies written from all those who were so insensitive? I’m not holding my breath.

Imagine that you’re telling your friend a juicy story. (we won’t discuss whether u brought out a point or not) you expect a sympathetic / nice response. all he says is WHAT’S THE POINT?!
No doubt you’d feel flattered.
now imagine you’re telling your story / point to a big group of ppl… 1 confused guy asks WHAT’S THE PT.? Then another. & another. & another. & some more.
OK hopefully You get the picture..

2- Do try your best to be mesameach chosson kallah. I once wore a hysterical costume at a friend’s wed. it worked with a battery that when a button was pressed the whole thing became inflated. In short, I looked OBESE.
I can’t say I was eager to do it, but I knew that it will make the my friend happy (the oilem was roaring w/ laughter) so I did it!

What’s with everyone coming down so hard on this guy? Shame on you. If you didn’t get his point, maybe you’re the one with the problem. You also criticize his writing ability – how many of you have won the Pulitzer prize? This guy is a Lakewood Yeshiva Bochur – he expressed himself well enough. He was also trying to be a bit creative and original with some of his extra information and other comments. What a crime! Where’s the Ahavas Yisroel here? Like someone else mentioned – ” If you don’t have anything nice to say – don’t say anything at all” Give him a break. There are more important things to get incensed about. To all those who wrote nice things, I’m sure he appreciates it. I’m also sure he never thought his article would create such a forum for anger and put downs. Everyone – take a deep breath and chill.

At least in my experience, the overwhelming majority of frum weedings are as he describes where my resignation to remain on the outside comes after a futile attempt to “dance” is quashed (and my toes squashed) by the chosson’s frenzied friends. (Sometimes it seems as if they are sending a subtle message that if you are not one of them, get out of the way) And again, I was once one of those frenzied friends and they are entitled to rejoice. Kol Hakovod. I suspect that weddings like the one the letter writer describes are few and far between and in truth, I suspect that if I did find myslef at such a wedding, I and just about all but the old and infirm would be more than happy to participate in the dancing with renwewed enthusiasm.

May we only have semochos.

Congratulations. You made your point.

Your comments are sharp, and concise. You must feel quite satisfied. After all, you were able to pick apart someone’s writing, and ridicule him and no one even knows who you are.

Doesn’t it bother you that you have no idea how your comments were taken by your target? Do you wonder if his face turned red as he read your comments? Do you wonder if you really know this person?

Do you wonder if the satisfaction of seeing your sharp, biting comments in print is really worth the humiliation that your words caused?
