new rule to be instituted by the moderators:
no more statements of CYLOR
(consult your local orthodox Rabbi)
everyone knows one should consult their LOR, it is stated repeatedly on EVERY single thread that mentions a Halachic issue, over and over, every time, again and again, consult your LOR. we know that, please stop repeating it (addressed to no one in particular).
one can ask for a discussion about a Halachic issue or even a personal situation. it is a DISCUSSON. it is fine. it is good. did you not ever enter into a Halachic discussion or ask a friend for his opinion on a personal Halachic isssue? it doesnt mean a friend’s opinion will be taken as a Psak. and if one foolishly is going to take a CR discussion as a Psak, thats his business, certainly saying: “consult your LOR” will not cause him to do so. he already knows that
im sure one can defend the ad nauseum CYLOR statements, but it is very tiring.
i may be wrong about this; but it is certainly annoying.
and this should be sticky! (after being rewritten in a more civil and intelligent manner)
<U hear where you are coming from. But before I institute it, I will have to CMLOR.
