How did rashi know what H’ meant when He said Naaseh Adam?
PLEASE! They had Ruach HaKodesh and other ways of knowing things. They didn’t look it up in history books.
About speaking Lashon Harah about people who do certain aveiros, as Tzippi says, it is not pashut. There are a LOT t’nais that it depends on. I don’t recall all of them unfortunately but pretty sure it includes having the right intentions which the typical yente probably does not. However, based on the fact that it is allowed on condoned in certain situations is proof that there are situations where we deal with people in a not such nice-and-friendly-no-matter-what-way!
Not everything is ACCEPTABLE!
(I recently read a story in Horizons about someone who was very close with a Rosh Yeshiva who had EXPELLED him from school years before! How could that happen? The Rosh Yeshiva was warm to him and even instituted a program where the classmates could raise money to bring him back to school. there was also a behavioral program for the classmates to earn him back in class. When the bachur saw what was going on and how hard his classmates were working to have him back, he felt so good that it really worked and today his issues are over.)
Obviously there are times that people have to be pushed away but it has to be done in the right way and with the right intentions.
