Chabad, both online and in person, often resort to personal attacks, both because they lack power counterarguments and because of righteous indignation at the thought of someone arguing with their rebbe and their yiddishkeit. If someone proved my rebbe wrong, it would not affect my yiddishkeit.
I disagree with the contention that nobody will change their mind because of online articles. I agree that short, snarky comments, or personal attacks, will convince no one, but thought out, essay-like writings can be pursuasive. I say that because I myself became more religious from the old frumteens site.
There are few online outlets for authentic hashkofa, and the internet is dominated by religious zionism, modern orthodoxy and xhabad. The yeshiva and chadidish world is not represented much. I agree that i will not convince most people who post here; people are strong in their opinions and aren’t on here to question them. I try to be open minded within reason, but there is no circumstance where i will become MO or neo-chabad.
Also, i enjoy writing and i don’t have much outlet for it otherwise. I agree that i should learn more, but whether or not that is true has nothing to do with the veracity of my statements or my arguments.
