These stories can cut both ways. (No pun intended). Around 30 years, i was at Rav Nachman Bulman’s house. My friend had long hair at the time. (Not sure if he still does, perhaps he, like me, is bald). Rav Bulman said to him — “if anyone every says anything about the hair, tell them that Rav Bulman said its fine.” I know, i know — this wasnt a psak and there were many reasons to do it. BUT… Rav Bulman was, among other things, a really nice person — and thus wanted this particular boy to know that Rav Bulman, for one, wasnt going to judge him.
