“You have some really mixed up priorities. “
you are too intelligent not to know that calling a frum Jew on the carpet for his behavior has NOTHING to do with condoning the maniacs on the other side. For some reason you (and some others here) express that a frum yid can say and do anything he pleases, no matter how infantile or inappropriate, nivel peh included it seems, as long as the person you target isn’t expressing Torah values as you see them. Did it ever occur to you that maybe that way of doing things is not frum either? do you ever think about how many people you may insult or turn off of your “type” of observance? Our gedolim don’t behave that way and none of our musser seforim advocate for that type of behavior. Yet expecting a frum Jew to act like a mentch EVEN in the face of an attack is messed up priorities?
If you really love Hashem and His Torah that much, then try defending His truth instead of condeming His other children. When your teenager slaps his little brother for bothering the baby, does that make the parent proud? No, it just gives him two children to have to deal with.
Please, for the sake of some anonymous poster who would love to see your less “charif” (though still passionate) side, move on to someone else. No doubt there are other posters who annoy you and can handle a hit or two.
