No, Sam, to me the issue is the vicious anti MBP movement, which seeks to stop people from practicing milah in a manner their ancestors have done for generations, and which they believe, with backing from numerous legitimate sources, to have religious significance, whether it be al pi nigleh or nistar.
I’m not arguing that everyone should follow the sources I quoted; the other opinion is also valid.
PAA, I didn’t think so, and I responded as I did because my intention of quoting the S’dei Chemed was as I just explained.
Agav, on the next page from the one I linked, he brings what seems to be a nice raya from the Gemara that MBP is not just medicinal (although I haven’t been m’ayen in it).
