I still believe that Joseph truly holds by his opinions reflected here, and therefore I hesitate to call him a troll. The derailing of this thread, however, was clearly intentional and calculated.
For the record, I never directly responded to the derailed discussion. Us CR elders have seen the exact argument, with the exact same Rambams so many times now that we know better. The Chabadnik posters are a little newer so they’re having to learn the hard way.
