anon: “(as he stated, he wanted to sit in the front to reduce his chance of becoming ill and probably wanted his wife next to him so she could help him in case he did become ill).”
Except that he did not say this. Look at his posts.
“and I simply refuse to not sit together with my wife,”
and
“I tried to explain that I would happily take the 400, given one – but there was no 400, the last 400 didn’t go. I didn’t have a choice”
Nothing about needing to be next to his wife. Nothing about being ill. He chose to blame Egged and show that he was entitled to do what he did. He knew the rules, he just thought that they did not apply to him because he was “forced” to take the mehadrin bus.
“For those posters who think Daniel was in the wrong here, please explain how the reaction of the other passengers demonstrates tznius?”
One has nothing to do with the other. Daniel was wrong, he used Egged to justify his behavior. He was wearing the same kippa as everyone else on the bus, yet he chose to do differently then them, they told him to get in line and that they were offended. Why is that counter-tznius?
