ZD – first of all, I wanted to apologize if the tone in my last post was too harsh. I was tired when I wrote it. I do get frustrated when I have to keep repeating myself, but I should have found a nicer way to phrase things.
In any case, your comments weren’t relevant to my comments because I said nothing about the halachos or the way in which online businesses work. And I certainly never claimed that you are not an expert in either.
All I said was that if it’s assur then it’s assur and you can’t claim that it has to be okay because there is no other way to do things.
And btw, in terms of the halachos (which is not what I had been talking about), there may be different opinions or situations. There certainly is no place to critize Poskim who give a different psak than what you were given.
