Wow, finding that old thread was a fascinating read into the history of the CR. The moderation was a LOT more lax back then and we apparently used to have openly non-Orthodox posters.
There were pop-culture references made back then that you never see anymore in the CR. There was a username so inappropriate that I don’t want to say it in this post or I fear it will be mod’d out.
I have to ask, and I know this will get me in trouble with some posters, when did the tradition begin of claiming everything Joseph says is radical? The thing that got everyone fired up on that thread was the assertion that “Reform, Conservative, and Reconstructionism aren’t Judaism.” I think that’s the mainstream stance of almost all of today’s CR users.
Do you guys think it’s good that there less of a wide range of opinions here today? We obviously come here seeking out a certain bias, but maybe it was more fun back then. I wasn’t around to know.
