klugeryid,
“What are you even talking about?”
Joseph’s post with my interlinear comments:
People [specifically those who post in the CR, as he makes clear in later responses] rationalize all sorts of aveiros [I have no objection to this statement]; so expect a litany of excuses here [in the CR, he is telling us what the CR participants specifically are going to do] why this aveira [viewing awful pritzus] is okay and why this aveira (pritzus and whole list of worse things [!!!]) “really” isn’t such an aveira [i.e., expect the people on the CR to justify some of the worst aveiros people can do]. Or that one day a year is okay to take a break from not doing aveiros [not even twist things around to say it’s not a sin, just straight up say that sinning is fine].
These are powerfully negative things to say, and it’s not a leap at all to posit that someone who actually espouses such things would be beyond redemption. However, nobody in the CR actually did the things he said to expect. This isn’t even an issue of dan l’kaf zechus.
