Thanks, SaysMe. Hope things are going alright for you!
I just want to say something that’s been bothering me, and I thought I’d say it here because if I’d say it in other threads, people would just ignore me. I understand that there are rare circumstances when it would be permissible to talk badly about certain people, even Jews, who aren’t following the ways of G-d. But I think that doing so can only be done by people who are on a very high level, who absolutely know that these people are indeed evil, and only at a time when it is completely certain that nothing negative will result from it. Like during the times of the beis hamikdash, by the greatest tzaddikim. But for regular chumps, in an online forum in the 21st century? NO. There is nothing good about it, and it only comes from, and leads to, arrogance, rudeness, and self- centeredness, and all it’ll cause is greater division among the Jewish nation. And for those that’ll say, “But I know that such and such is evil, so it’s definitely permissible”, if you are so concerned about doing “the right thing”, how about go outside and greet someone warmly, or compliment your spouse on dinner tonight. Use your mouth for pleasant words, not mockery.
