charlie brown-

Thank you.

Your subtitle may no longer say so, but you’re still the official ego-booster of the CR ?

===================================

I would like to add something along the lines of Rashi’s pshat on the chumash in Vayeshev where it says that Yosef’s brothers were unable to speak to him peacefully.

Rashi explains that from this negative statement about them, you learn a positive – namely that they were honest about how they felt and didn’t act in a two-faced manner.

Even in instances where discussions here become heated and unfortunate remarks are made, in the overwhelming majority of cases cooler heads eventually prevail, apologies are made and things are patched up.

This is something that is quite uncommon in the online blogging/posting world, and one of the main reasons I personally enjoy this site.
