WADR, I can appreciate your Halachic knowledge but I think its unfair to expect the public to trust the “prerequisite Halachic knowledge” of an anonymous person as a final psak just as it would be to tell someone to eat at a certain restaurant because the owner has a long beard. You are certainly correct about ona’as devarim and I wish people would adopt that policy across the board, but I saw something I felt was wrong, and chose to make a comment because I can say it directly (as opposed to starting a forum of my own and posting my opinion there for example… effectively the same thing?), though I think you would agree ona’as devarim and public lashon hara are not the same thing. I didn’t tell you not to post it, I simply told you that because its public, it would be best to verify with a rav. Once verified, I have no problem with it.
Again, my intention is not to mock publicly and I sincerely apologize if you feel that I have or if you felt my tone was too intense. I still feel very strongly about this but I said my piece and frankly I think we’re basically going in circles at this point.
