Simcha:
“denigrating them in this public forum is probably far more assur than what you condemn them of.”
You are probably correct. However, you violated your own comment by assuming I am condemning this dinner and/or its participants in some way. My comment was directed towards the most recent discussions regarding eating and enjoying Hashems world. I was pointing out that this is not a new discussion and provided the Ramban as a Mareh Makom. My attitude towards the dinner itself? Ambivalence.
