Reply To: PAA's not-always-in-context Coffee Room Report Card Comments

Comlink-X and cozimjewish:

Well, seeing as both of you pointed out that cozimjewish does not have access to youtube, I would point out that the post in which I mentioned youtube, was a response to Comlink-X not cozimjewish, and he does in fact have access to youtube. Had I been addressing cozimjewish I would have put it in the thread about fast songs.

cozimjewish:

The statement “HUH???” connotes that I said something crazy, or non-understandable which is grounds to make it to the report card.

To (attempt to) address your confusion regarding the limud zechut, basically I was saying that DaasYochid tried to defend me from your grammatical critique (which was actually probably just a typo, but that is neither here nor there), yet his defense was not a good defense because if my original answer had meant what he was alleging, then instead of saying “This is actually one of the rare times when it doesn’t” I should have said “This is actually one of the rare times when it isn’t”. (I hope this helped unconfuse you. If not, let me know and I’ll try again.)

Comlink-X:

If I correctly understood what you were saying, you don’t get Popa’s post that cozimjewish linked to. That’s probably because there is no context there. So I’ll give you the context:

A few months ago, I had made several references to Techeiles in a short period of time, reaching a climax when I started the thread: http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/korachs-profound-argument

(Keep in mind that I have a 15 page thread on Techeiles.)

Popa there responded by saying: “My wife says PAA is meshuga l’davar echod” the davar echod being Techeiles. (His wife later apologized when

I started the thread: http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/this-has-nothing-to-do-with-techeiles-pba

Anyway, once I made this thread, Mrs. Popa apparently decided that I was no longer only meshuga l’davar echad; I was now meshuga for everything, which she felt was a dubious improvement.

cozimjewish:

Based on what I just wrote, Comlink-X might understand Popa’s post and no longer necessarily think that you put it to better use. But you’re still welcome to keep this as one of your favorite threads.
