Reply To: Kabbalas Loshon Horo

On a minor further note, by a happy coincidence I was present at the event mentioned in the OP. Yekke2 has done well to camouflage some of the details and ensure anonymity for all involved. but as a witness, I personally cannot really understand yekke2’s quandary, as by all accounts his actions were suitable to the occasion, and to the to my eyes undoubted slight against the Talmid Chochom concerned.

Thank you for your vote of confidence. The Shaila still stands, however – your haskamah was probably also based on, forgive me, Kabbalas Loshon Hara. If you had never heard any stories about the ‘askan’, could you have seen any form of humiliation?

I’m wondering if I was now Oiver Loshon Horo by starting this thread – by writing that it was a third time offence, two of which you almost certainly didn’t witness!
