Sam2:
I was neither “approving” nor disapproving; I had requested of you in a prior post to respond to ROB and you did. As any decent person would, I simply thanked you for fulfilling my request with your post. Not to mention this thread is about hakaras haTov. Please do not feel insulted and “used”.
Regarding your contention that I consider you to be “an Oveid Avoda Zarah”, this is not accurate; please refer back to my most recent post to DY.
I have referred to you in particular as erudite and learned. Although I believe that the “MO” and “Religious Zionist” position on Zionism is wrong and unjustifiable, this doesn’t lessen my respect for you, for whatever that respect is worth.
