Anyusername to me: “Quote “I haven’t called anyone an am haaretz yet,”
You are correct,
as far as I know you never used the term “am haaretz” but you have used a few terms which have the same or very similar definition as an am haaretz”
I admit that I don’t remember everything that I have written, but I don’t think I have. I have used the term apikorsus which is far worse, but totally unrelated, to am haaretz. And I still believe that people who twist divrei Chazal and Rishonim are close to apikorsim, if not there already, because out of their own desires they are willing to discard Chazal and Rishonim.
Don’t get me wrong. No one here is claiming to be perfect. But there’s a big difference between saying “I do aveiros R”L” and “Chazal/Rishonim agree with me” when there is absolutely no question that they don’t. The former is someone who (hopefully only occasionally) gives in to his yeter horo. The latter is megaleh ponim batorah shelo kehalocho.
And now for one of your better and most amusing lines: “Now that we finished this topic…”
