to clarify, i include myself in the ‘yeshiva community’ i was describing (which seems to have lost its bearings over the years with regard to middos). as i explained above, i was ch”v not trying to “bash” some other group, but rather to discuss what i (and others) perceive to be a problem within our own communities (and by extension, within ourselves). i think that many of the topics in the ‘coffee room’ can be classified as discussions of problems within our communities, which is certainly important as long as we remain civil, respectful, and constructive.
