Coffee Addict – Oh I see so….אדונינו מורינו ורבינו degrades the Lubavitcher rebbe? Moran degrades Rav Shach? (Heck even the word rebbe and rav denigrates them) maybe you should start referring to them as shach or shneerson)
Context. Is. Everything.
If someone calls out Jew, it might be as an insult or it might be a proud declaration of who we are.
If said for respect, bu all means, if said to denigrate, there is a price to pay for being mevazeh talmidei chachomim.
All in context.
