GAW – thanks for clarifying! I totally thought you meant something very different. I have been REALLY upset by the Motzi Shem Ra being spread by some of the posters here about the lady. I don’t remember exactly who said what, but there definitely were inappropriate things said. But I’m glad to hear that wasn’t your point.
derech agav, I find the title of the thread very upsetting. That is definitely Motzi Shem Ra. Even when you are allowed to say something about someone, you are not allowed to use a subjective negative adjective (such as screaming) to describe them. There are other words that could have been used that are accurate and don’t have such a negative connotation.
I remember once calling the Shmiras Halashon hotline to ask them if I was allowed to tell someone that a certain boy whom she was upset at because he had forgotten that he had agreed to go out with her on a second date was spacy so that she wouldn’t be upset, and the Rav told me to use a different word instead of spacy that he thought sounded better (I can’t remember what it was.)
