Now that was a coherent argument. What you wrote before was basically just a broadside of invective. If you disagree with somebody, by all means feel free to say so. But a rational argument if far more convincing than a volley of insults. Now, I might not always agree to mik5’s opinions or (more often) with the way in which he expresses them, but do I think he’s shown himself to be honestly interested in figuring out what Hashem wants from us. Constructive criticism may sometimes be called for; but to just be nasty is, among other problems, counter-productive.

But really, sam2, I must admit I’m somewhat disappointed. Although you and I do not always see eye to eye, I have usually been impressed by the calm, rational nature of your comments. Watching you and DY calmly and rationally debate issues has been a pleasure. But a spate of your recent comments don’t seem to have up to your usual standards.
Besides for these tangles with mik5, there was also this volley of invective against DY:
And even this somewhat heated exchange with charliehall (especially considering the highly impersonal topic that was being discussed):
Don’t do it, Sam2. Don’t go to the dark side.
