Thank you for the compliment and more so for the explanation. I think because it was “clear” to you, it is harder to understand the distinction. I have to say that after 30 years of dealing with schools I don’t think it was intimidation or else anything. It was a request that they consider to be valid, that others consider to be a misplacement of Torah values and priorities. (I am NOT discussing the issue (I add this as a reference point to where this post is coming from), I am talking about the inconsistency of the presented facts.) ThEREFORE the two above comments are not even similar to me, nor where they to various others who read them. Perhaps it was clear to you, but I would not even have seen the connection (which I still see as a speculated stretch) had you not explained it. POINT BEING – (NOT that I feel either way about the topic!!!) that it is important to distinguish between your perspective on words that were stated, and the words themselves when making accusations of l”h, ms”r, disagreeing etc. I wanted the concept to be known, as a moderator who often deals with it on this side, and I was pointing it out. I hope this helps you see where I was coming from.
And if someone decides to derail this post with cries of “that’s how conversations work”,” so do we have to double check all our impressions yada yada yada..” go right ahead. I am talking about situations of rebuke. And I am only elaborating in the hopes of clarifying for the specific poster who asked.
