I completely agree with you. A speaker has to know his audience. Some congregants can hear straightforward Mussar and some can’t.

Please reread what I wrote. (It’s at the start of #13) I quoted my Rov as saying that a Rabbi has no right to tell others what to do, rather he simply acts as a role model. I would never suggest that presenting Mussar is inappropriate. You guys keep looking to catch me but I told you I am a true Totah Jew, just minus the black hat. The Rabbonim with whom I associate are giants and they show me as much respect as I give them, so you’re barking up the wrong tree if you think you’ll prove that I’m open Orthodox or conservadox. Nothing could be farther from the truth. I just believe in being receptive to different types of Jews. In that regard, I’m like Chabad. Yes, I believe that the Rebbe’s initiative of spreading Judaism throughout the world was tremendous. I’ll stop here so as not to be edited.
