LU while I I wouldn’t say that you’re wasting your time in this discussion – as your posts are of interest to me and probably other members – I do want to point out one thing.
Reading yours and Joseph’s posts in this discussion and others, it’s clear that you (and most other posters) are interested in the way Torah relates to your own life, while Joseph on the other hand is only interested in what the Torah says (The Torah and the various poskim)
Just read every one of his posts. He barely ever responds to an argument other than to say “yes but this Rav says so and so”. On the rare cases where he seems to express his own opinions and beliefs he is actually half-quoting some source.
An example of this is his recent claim that it could be beneficial to bring back polygamy. Unless He just arrived from space, the only way he could say such a thing without even considering why everyone else find it revolting is if he just don’t care at all what the Hlacha is about. He doesn’t understand that it’s meant to instruct human people in their lives, not an army of robots.
It’s a little pointless (just a little) to bring up brilliant arguments and analyze situations when arguing with someone who doesn’t care at all about content, only Asur and Mutar.
(Joseph obviously I have nothing against you as a person. I only have issue with your attitude when it comes to Halachic discussions)
