“Don’t put words in my mouth.”
What have I claimed you said (or implied) that you actually didn’t say (or imply)?
“And don’t expect me to answer for an anonymous claim of a claimed event.”
You claim to know the exact behaviors of our ancestors traveling habits. And you bring that as ‘proof’ that our behavior is therefore lacking. Were you there? Did you actually see how our bubbes and zaides travelled? Or are you using circular reasoning to assume ‘well, that’s what they must have done, so therefore they did it.’ While in this specific case (ZD and rebitzin Neuman) you technically can call it an anonymous claim, by that logic, anyone’s claim here that they have witnessed something is subject to the same dismissal. And I would venture to say that most people here have seen rebitizins of choshuve rabbonim driving. Rabbonim who would not allow something that’s an outright issur. You can dismiss that if you like, but when something is collectively known and witnessed by the multitudes, it’s pretty lame to dismiss it as anonymous just because you don’t know the name of the person who’s saying it.
“And don’t argue against SA with bubbe maaisas.”
What bubbe maises? Are you denying the obvious that rebitizins of choshuve rabbonim drive with their husbands approval? see previous paragraph
“Using your so-called arguments, you’re motzi la’az on the Rambam and Mechaber.”
How so? At what point did I ever say anything negative about their words or behavior? Just because things are different nowadays, does not mean that anybody holds they were wrong at that time. And don’t try to say that Halacha is immutable and completely unchanging. While the underpinnings of halacha do not change, their application can. And that can work both ways – l’kula and l’chumra
“Why are you putting the Rambam’s holy psak in scare quotation marks?”
I only put your words from previous post in quotes.
“Do you consider the Rambam and Mechaber to be extremists?”
Again, when did I ever say that? Now, who’s putting words in whos mouth?
