Reply To: Question for FuturePotus ❓

I have been trying to be dan l’kaf zchus that YWN does in fact care about hilchos loshon hora and the loshon hora posted was an oversight and would be removed as soon as it was pointed out.

I see now that is not the case, and in fact the moderators don’t want anyone pointing out it out and are trying to get posters to stop pointing it out. As such I would like to ask that my account be deleted (at least until and if I ask a sheilah and find out if it’s mutar halachically for me to be here now that I am aware of that fact).

According to the halachos of lashon hora, you are supposed to turn the person who is doing the aveira first and try to get him to stop before you tell others about it (others who can do something about it). I deliberately tried turning to the moderators and editors first hoping that would be enough, and that I would not have to go elsewhere. Apparently, that is not the case, and this will have to be taken elsewhere (unless you still want to change your minds and delete the loshon hora, so that won’t be necessary. I am still hoping and davening that that will be the case!)
