WIY – I think you misunderstood. My point was NOT whether or not people should be excused from talking. I personally don’t send my children to shul til they are older. What I said was that you can condemn the talking and work on putting an end to it, but some posters were asking to get rid of the people who are talking. Why not just find a way to help them stop? Why not daven that they should stop? Our job is to condemn and put an end to talking in shul. Our job is not to put an end to the people. That attitude that those who do something bad are bad is what has screwed up so many of our children for so many years. No talking should be allowed. Period. Anyone who talks is more than welcome to continue coming as long as they remain quiet.
