CS: “Arso, the point is they all say the concealment period is different times. It’s not Halacha, and obviously the geula will not be delayed when we merit it because we have to fit exactly 45 years + the bit he mentions.”
Pleeeeeaaase stop doing that! It’s really frustrating!
I’m referring to the way you quote meforshim and then say, “Only accept the bits that suit my argument.”
You can’t – I really feel like swearing here! – quote Rashi and then say, “Ignore the part that says 45 years because that doesn’t work for me.”
Can you find any example of others on this thread who have done anything like that? I don’t think so. Men who are bnei Torah – even not the greatest of talmidei chachomim – NEVER argue that way because we know it is nonsensical. If you’re going to have a discussion with men, you can’t argue that way either!
