sorry for upsetting you. I actually didn’t want any illustrations, I’ve tried to pin you down on accusations you’ve made and you usually respond with lots of anecdotes that I felt just carried the conversations off topic. I also wouldn’t imagine you rebuffing the “management of your affairs over the newsgroup” when you are usually the first one to give advice to people who may not have asked for any. (“I had a runny nose yesterday” gets a response of – maybe you should contact the custodian of your shul or the rabbi and ask them if you can measure the airflow in the vents. Are people in your shul careless? Are they spreading covid and causing deaths? here are some ideas for you to make your congregation into better people….etc) Given that, I wouldn’t have thought you would be bothered by being on the receiving end.
Regardless, I’m sorry it bugs you. Really. I can’t tell you I will be able to let your condescending remarks about the system go unchallenged, but i will do my best to address you more sensitively. I will also suggest that sometimes when you realize you have spoken in error, it is less painful to just retract then to elaborate with tangential stories that you didn’t really want to share. Maybe we will meet halfway.
