“Neville, you are a liar. I never said anywhere that that “in certain cases” rishonim can contradict pushat p’shat”.”
If I’m not mistaken, you brought up the case of Hashem’s hand elsewhere. The pashut pshat is that he has a literal hand. You have no problem with meforshim going against that. When Yaakov is buried and presumed dead in the Torah, you suddenly aren’t okay with meforshim going against pashut pshat anymore.

“Wow, I’m contradicting 6-7 people on these threads (who are these 6-7 people- name them”
Ok sure: Me, ARSo, Shmei, Lostpark, Coffee Addict, Yankel Barrel, and probably more if I check the other thread, but I’m already up to 6. Again, only one of those people is a Lubavitcher.

“What gaaveh you have! Who are you exactly are you that I can’t contradict you?!!”
Except that I never said that. I’m getting sick of telling you over and over that you’re entitled to your own shittah. It’s you that keeps telling us that we’re definitively wrong. All I’ve told you is that your interpretation isn’t the standard Orthodox one. I never said it’s “not allowed;” it’s just different.
