yashrus20, I know you are anti-feminist (perhaps chauvinist; I’ll let you respond to that before drawing a conclusion) but “inner anger”??? I suppose you said that in jest; I don’t find it funny. I happily disagree with you on most issues, and sometimes I can get myself really worked up, but I would never say that I am “angry” with you or even with your opinion. Indignant, yes. Shocked, sometimes. Frustrated, absolutely. But angry? No.
Re addiction, I’m somewhat proud of having made that list (not sure why!). On the other hand (maybe some of you have noticed?) I have not been on YWN quite so often lately. I’ve just been really busy with classes here, and I had to prioritize. I’ve found that once I started placing limits on my YWN time, it wasn’t so hard to refrain from going on “just to check”, as I was afraid I might do. Also, now that I’m no longer on 23/6 or whatever, I also find that when I am on I post less often. That is, I am more liable to read through a topic without posting a response now, whereas before, I usually found something to say to nearly everything. (I do have thoughts as I read about these issues, but I don’t always feel obliged to share these thoughts anymore!) I think this is a positive development. Does the olam agree/disagree?
