“we would be left to debating the virtues … the REALLY important issues facing klal yisroel ”
Again, I dont understand why does it bother you what other people discuss. there are (currently) 26,303 topics the odds that each of them will be a “REally important issue” are zero. This topic bores you you feel like you see “see variations of this debate year after year.” that is totally fine just scroll past the thread and roll your eyes. Why does it bother you that others discuss their “favorite Shabbos recipes for tofu-based chulent “?
