You know, qwerty613 keeps stating again and again that R. Feldman called R. Friedman a kofer. So I guess I have to repeat some points I made in another thread:
“Note, too, that R. Feldman _doesn’t_ call R. Friedman a kofer. He says that his statements are kefirah and that he’s a “bor birshus harabbim” (a pit – i.e., danger – in the public domain). You may think those are the same thing, but they are not; as an example, R. Hillel makes a statement in Sanhedrin 99a (אין משיח לישראל) which the Gemara itself harshly criticizes, and which the Radvaz says is flat-out kefirah – and he also says that R. Hillel is not branded a kofer for it, but an annus.”
and
“Watch the video again and see what R. Feldman says about R. Friedman. He calls him a “bor birshus harabbim,” a “fool,” and an “am haaretz” – but ***not*** a “kofer.” Seems that you just looked at the title of the video and didn’t bother watching it. Well, I did, and if you listen to the whole thing – it’s less than four minutes; surely you can spare that amount of time – you’ll see that the words “he is a heretic/kofer/whatever” ***do not*** appear in R. Feldman’s actual speech. So, for you to repeat, after this was pointed out to you, that “R. Feldman called him a Kofer” and to accuse me of “twisting what Rabbi Feldman said” is a flat-out lie, of the kind that you claim to be so against!”
And several other claims of his in that thread that I demonstrated were flat-out lies. His response? Not “You’re right, I’ll do better.” Not “I’m sorry for my lies and misrepresentations.” No, pretending that he holds the moral high ground and that my points aren’t even worth responding to.
So, we seem to have pretty well established that qwerty613’s posts are, to use his own wording on the previous page, “a house of lies.” Perhaps, now that this has been brought to the attention of others here, they’ll know how to evaluate his other claims too. Until, of course, a new thread is started, and he’ll repeat the same lies again, figuring that no one will bother checking back on him…
