klugeryid,
“josef never even insinuated that
dont interject your negativity into someone elses comment and then excoriate him on it”
I have not once excoriated Joseph on this thread, nor even addressed him directly. Syag objected to what Joseph wrote, and it was pretty clear that you did not understand her objection, instead getting hung up on her colloquial reference to dan l’kaf zechus. The ream of halachic sources you and chash subsequently threw out don’t even directly apply, since the specific issue, if there is one, is motzi shem ra, not literal dan l’kaf zechus.
