Avi K:
That’s pretty disingenuous. Allow me to make it clearer: His most recent question, the one asking you directly whether you honestly believed the State of Israel adheres to the Shulchan Aruch. I was following the discussion up until that point, and was disappointed, if unsurprised, to see that this simple, direct question didn’t receive an answer promptly, out of character with the prompt manner in which you’ve addressed most of your dissenters.
Perhaps answering a question which requires a simply Yes or No answer, especially when we all know the honest answer is one that would contradict the main thrust of your argument, is less agreeable to you than posting highly questionable meandering diatribes that rarely adress any issue head on. This is an issue I have come across often in my relatively short time on the CR, which is that there is a certain kind of poster whos’s views clearly contradict yiddishkeit, halacha or common sense, who waffle for an intermediate period of time before, when addressed with these kinds of easy-to-answer queries, the ones that require an unambiguous straight answer, either waffle around the topic, ignore the question, or cease posting. This perhaps may go some way to explaining why solid, controversial yet fair discussions have become a rarity on this forum. Not that I’m specifically accusing you of possessing these traits.
But I’ve made this a lot more long-winded than it had to be, so if I may. Kindly begin your answer with a yes or no, and then feel free to qualify that answer in the ensuing paragraphs. You seem like an intelligent chap, so this shouldn’t be too difficult:
As Yekke2 asked, do you honestly believe that the State of Israel adheres to the Shulchan Aruch? Yes or No?
