L.uL:
I have wanted to respond. I was following a bit and got upset when you were so attacked. I actually did once, long ago, very long ago, respond with a feste ‘piece’ defending another one who was personally attacked here. Oh those good days…
A lot has happened here. Sometimes by defending a poster, I myself end up getting attacked, bashed, hurt. I’m from that kind of species that takes things, um, deep. Things that go past others, can easily hurt me. I’m sometimes not ready for a full-fledged fight.. I have so much toned down since those grand old days… The fun we had… (and for the record.. I have NOT willingly hurt another poster, EVER.)
I’m with you as far as Hashkafah, it’s a breath of fresh air.. someone who’s prolific and states things the way they are and should be… A Yiddishe Nachas to see. I just don’t have the koach to fight off your attackers… I was bitten here, big-time…(putting it mildly)
There’s another thing for you to know, seems like you’re pretty new to the CR, I didn’t follow enough of your posts to really figure you out (ie male/female, age group, social standing etc). From the few I read, you come across as an intelligent person with hashkafah screwed on right! There’s a wide range of our postership hashkafa levels. Not everyone is on the same page as you. When you state something which should be obvious, sensible, sometimes ‘the truth hurts’. And that causes some to respond, defend their positions. Been here long enough!!
