yekke2: “Sparkly – I’m sure you wrote above that a boy can still be frum even if he talks to girls, and that there is nothing wrong with male/female social interaction?”
I heard a story about a professor who taught something that contradicted something he had taught 50 years before. When that was pointed out to him, he said, “Good. So I’m a growing person, and I don’t remain stuck where I was 50 years ago.”
Maybe Sparkly doesn’t believe in standing still and she has grown since she wrote the last post.
(yekke2, please take this post the way it is meant and not as a criticism/contradiction to your post)
