“pps if a worldview shaped by clear (to me) rayoos from multiple georahs plus an explicit rambam that another poster posted her, is warped, im proud to have such warped thinking.”

Absolutly!
but slow down

I missed the raayaos. True you brought rayyos to the general principle, but that was never being debated
Our discussion was whether it was absolute (particulary regarding bein adom lachaveiro) .I’m not even sure rayyos is the right word its an explicit gemara in several places that severity is based on onesh

and I”m not sure what Rambam you are referring to. The Ramabm says explicitly in several places that there are exceptions

At any rate I was under the impression that you (now) agree that there ARE exceptions.
Just that this isnt one of them.
Is thes last line of mine mistaken?

“we need not debate “slippery slope””
We definitely don’t, so thank you for not going there . Ive found that slippery slope is a last ditch argument made to support an untenable position. It can be (and has been) used to support or oppose absolutely anything on earth .

Before leaving though, if you dont mind responding to my above questuion, just so that I have your psotion absolulty right, because it seems to be shifting a bit. (that may be my poor memory)

Here it is again
you agree that there ARE exceptions. to the general principle
Just that this isnt one of them.

correct?

“i’ll stick with trying to accept hashems opinion wether or not i understand it.”
Lol
youre funny

Before leaving though, if you dont mind responding to my above question, just so that I have your position absolulty right, because it seems to be shifting a bit. (that may be my poor memory/understanding)

Here it is again

correct?
