The Rema advocated making Havdallah on beer after Pesach; needless to say, I don’t think he was the “kicking the sukkah down” type.
Syag, I personally didn’t see mw’s left wing comment as an attack on you. I think we all get that you’re defending ZD the person, not the stance. But, like I said in my above post, one doesn’t have to call someone else out by name to offend them. People on this thread have been calling a minhag silly and stupid. Frankly, if we didn’t have halacha and YWN mods to stop us, my responses to the vitriol against a minhag expressed here would probably be a lot less cordial than mw’s.
