@Moshi26, I respect that you’re standing up for proper Yidishe values.

However, whether it’s right or wrong, that doesn’t take away from the irony of discussing the issur of using YWN ON YWN!

You are having a disucussion with many anonymous users, many of whom are possibly women – about the issur of talking to women on a forum!

I can think of many Torah phrases that redicule this behavior: טובל ושרץ בידו, כל הפוסל במומו פוסל, קשוט עצמך ואחר כך קשוט אחרים, etc. etc. Of course this does not mean that we must be perfect before helping others in their Yiddishkeit, but you can’t do an aveira to help others refrain from that very aveira.

Imagine if one fine Shabbos morning, someone would (ch”v) start a thread about how terrible it is that people are posting on forums on Shabbos. That would be rediculous!
