When was the last time I ever referred to him as anything other than “Reb Eliezer”?
Instead of telling me that I should be ashamed to write something why don’t you explain why I should be ashamed? I also noticed that you didn’t bother to point out where in the Shulchan Aruch it says that an elderly person who knowingly and publicly disgraces Hashem and the Torah still deserves respect- I’m going to guess that it doesn’t say it anywhere. (Let’s set aside any individual person at this time- if the Shulchan Aruch actually says that then I’m wrong and there’s nothing left to discuss.)
When did I ever say every single thing a Republican says is Torah? I believe I mentioned a number of times that I’m not voting for the Republican Party per se, rather I’m voting against the Democratic Party and all that they stand for (I never write that I’m voting Republican because they’re Daas Torah).
In general, in the political discussions I’m part of here, I’m trying to point out to those who ferociously support the Democratic Party based on faults in the Republican Party- that they’re being hypocritical as the faults are much worse in the Democratic Party. But they usually don’t bother to respond.
(E.g. @yechiell mentioned that President Trump lied in the debate and there was some back and forth until he finally provided a case where he lied. I then asked him why that bothered him more than an outright lie from Biden but he didn’t respond.)
I try to be civil with everyone regarding their political beliefs but once they get uncivil I have no problem responding as such. I actually sat next to someone at a Simcha yesterday who said that he won’t be voting for President Trump in November and we had a very civilized discussion about it. I still don’t agree with him but I respect his opinion. I offered you to hit the reset button and discuss our differences civilly but you haven’t taken me up on my offer yet.
Me and my ilk? You’re going to bunch me into a category of people that talk like that because I also plan to vote for President Trump? Since you can’t stand on your own merits you’re going to try and discredit me with false accusations? Again, I try to be respectful when discussing topics with others who don’t necessarily agree with my opinion- until the other person becomes uncivil. I’m human- if I messed up somewhere please point it out and I’ll apologize.
If you want to call me a fool why do it surreptitiously, go right ahead and call me a fool straight out- coming from you I won’t be offended. And I stand up for Talmedei Chachamim- unless doing so would disrespect a Sefer Torah.
