“because I think we’ve heard each other’s opinions enough times already”
Yekke – I don’t understand why you are ignoring the point. You stated that he is not obligated to save his life; he is only permitted to. I brought you a proof from the Chafetz Chaim that he is obligated. If you for some reason disagree with my proof, then I would be more than happy to hear the basis of your disagreement. But don’t just ignore it.
