Well, kudos to Joseph who attributed material that he cut and pasted from another site to its author. Its a good start.
OTOH, the point of the post? Its nothing that doesn’t happen in conversations that take place face to face, across the table at lunch, at kiddush, or in the letters to the editor. Sure, there’s less in the way of anonymity, but unless you know your interlocutor quite well, you don’t know what qualifies them to offer an opinion on anything. And yet, they do, no doubt influencing yo, the listener at least as much as an online post.
Once again we must rely on the sechel HKBH gave us and the upbringing our parents and our melamdim ensured to help us navigate through life, which includes what restaurant to eat at and and where to get new tires, and most pertinently, what advice makes good sense and what does not.
Read all the comments, listen to all the know it alls over cholent and rye, but use the head HKBH gave you.
