Hi.
No apology to me is needed. On any mainstream news site one can read things worse than what I asked the moderators to remove. Since this is a frum site where the standards of nikiyas haloshon are high, I thought those words were inappropriate.
A subject often mentioned here is hypocrisy.
In my mind there are several different levels:
3) One who rebukes others for their transgressions and really means well, but occasionally slips up himself. Once again, an example I can think of is there are some shushkers in shul, who are usually quiet but may occasionally slip up.
4) One who rebukes others for their transgressions and does not violate that particular aveira, but knows that he himself is far from perfect in other issues. For instance, he may be very careful with shul decorum, but his appearances at minyan are not very frequent.
My two cents worth is:
In the first case, the person is an absolute hypocrite.
