Reply To: Clarification to mod and DaMoshe

*Ode to the Mods*

Just wanted to convey my absolute respect to the mods. I think they do a wonderful job moderating and carefully editing when people of any side cross a line. My experience this time around has thus been vastly enhanced to what I endured when I first came on several years ago. I am sorry the mod found my previous post condescending, this is just what is stated time and time again by more than one litvish poster, and only CTLawyer and keith said anything back. They are both not born and bred litvish.

That said, as the mods felt that some line had been crossed and felt compelled to close the other thread, I don’t want to continue it and risk it being closed again at some odd point. Additionally, I am behind my weekly study regimen, for other reasons as well, and I’d like to catch up. So thanks for allowing this discussion- personally I’ve sharpened my understanding of the condition of “Melech” in the Rambam under discussion. I’ve also received a wonderful treasure trove of the research done into the Rebbes yichus. Hopefully others have gained something as well. Gutte voch from my locality.
