UPDATE:
I finally got through to the Rav I’ve been trying to reach. This Rav is one of the top Poskim in North America, particularly in the area of Shmiras Halashon. When I asked Rabbanim whom to call about this issue, he was the one whom they recommended I call.
I had a very lengthy detailed discussion with him about the issue. When I checked my phone afterwards, I saw that the call had been 46 minutes long. I was extremely impressed that he gave me so much time for this.
I read the OP’s OP to him as well as some of the subsequent posts (both the OP’s and mine). He said that what the OP wrote was lashon hora or motzi shem ra since it was written for the purpose of putting down Am Yisrael as a whole, a community, and a Yeshiva.
He said that I did the right thing by asking that it be deleted. I asked him if the things I wrote were problematic. That is when he asked me to read what I wrote to him. I started reading off both the OP’s posts and mine. Up to a certain point, he said what I wrote was fine, but when I got to a particular post, he said that it was a problem and that I shouldn’t have gotten personal.
He said that I should explain that I was wrong for getting personal but that it was because I was REALLY upset about the insult to Am Yisrael and its communities and Torah institutions.
So I sincerely apologize for getting personal and for any inappropriate comments I made and I would like to ask mechila for that. I had not realized that any of my posts were problematic, but now that I know that they are, I would like to ask mechila.
I am still really bothered by the denigration to Am Yisrael and its communities and institutions and I would like to sincerely request that the moderators and editors consider deleting the thread as they have done in previous instances.
Thank you very much for taking the time to read this!
And have a great YomTov!!!!
