Well for the sake of anyone who has gotten into an emotional argument with triggers that take that person back to witnessing something traumatic, words may not flow eloquently here.
By forcing him to relive that experience, why? So you can tell him that he is wrong and you are right?
I don’t get this thread. I think it’s staging a situation so you can say that Hey, he did say not to listen to halacha.
Why make him go back there? He told us that he saw something questionable. Witnessed it. With his eyes mind brain. Imagine holding that information. So now you are pushing him even more.
The brain is stressed. The body stressed. The parts of the brain used for logical arguments are now put on hold to defend for life. To me it sounded like ZD was in that mode. Maybe defending it here because he is still having his buttons shoved by post after post.
If the molestation is a strawman issue. Fine. Then. Make a new thread about something else. Unemotional.
Such as purple raincoats.
If Hashem said no purple raincoats and it was raining and the only raincoat in sight was purple, ZD would you wear it?
