Avram – I hope you don’t mind if I ask you a question. Your post brings to mind something I see over and over again and I would be interested in your perspective.
In your post above, you were making a point that if the teaneck question was posed as the BMG question was posed, you would have given the same answer. Interestingly, you wrote this come see Teaneck as an example of a lack of ahavas Yisroel! as your parallel to DaMoshe’s statement. Do you believe that that is what he wrote? I ask because I keep seeing posts that make quotes with those types of embellishments and the response is so often to the embellishment. I feel like people are getting responded to based on the re-make of their post instead of their actual post. I had wanted to ask it of the oilam but I was afraid of backlash so I’m just asking you what you think.
