Is the guy normal? (Has anyone had a conversation with him about
anything?) If he’s not, he must of course be treated more tolerantly.
DaasYochid, perhaps we should distinguish between
being a mispallel, being a shul member,
and terminating each of those statuses.
Lior, he said that they didn’t ask the Rov because
they don’t think he’d want to be involved, not
that they asked and the Rav didn’t do anything.
#poster, I don’t know if that’s a good parallel – the chelb’na
didn’t disturb the other ingredients, but enhance them.
NeutiquamErro has two valid points. As to the second, well, does
a shul have to accept someone difficult, who does not get along
with established members? That’s part of this.
Wolf, someone who cannot give tochachah in such a way as will
cause it to be accepted is patur from that mitzvah. I don’t
see why you’d be obligated to refrain from davening in that shul,
unless you just want to avoid conflict with that Rav, or halacha grants
Rabbonim the right to decide who may or may not daven in their shul,
regardless of whether they are doing or have done anything wrong.
