For a pretty divisive issue, this thread has stayed quite calm. Maybe it’s because it’s Elul.
I think think all the posts here give a pretty accurate representation. Let me just say one thing: when in any other scenario have you seen the following conversation take place:
“Hey, what do you think of this shul for the Chagim?”
“Oh, that shul? It’s not bad. There’ll be a few people talking during davening, and of course a few people shooting up heroin here and there, but other than that it’s really uplifting davening.”
