Mod, My anonymous Rebbe ZT”L remains anonymous because my (sometimes too non-yeshivish) views and (sometimes overly argumentative and aggressive) behavior here in the coffee Room are not an accurate reflection of his views and exemplary middos, and I would be doing him a disservice if people started associating my views with his.

FWIW, my anonymous Rebbe ZT”L felt that when addressing other women besides your wife, you call them Mrs. or Miss, not by their first names. Relationships with other women should be cordial but not friendly. When I first started working I tried that, but the constant wear-and-tear and the fact that the veiber I worked with found it offensive (they felt like their mothers) made me drop it.

In that case, I hope we live up to his standards.
