Moq – In other post discussions you say get to the root of the problem. I’m not a poisek, but if someone asks you if a boy smoked in High School or if the family uses plastic on Shabbos or whatever, why can’t you answer -what is the purpose of this info? Why must one feel as if they have to answer everything? This might shut them up and back off from the question. If they give a good reason, so then you can answer them. If not, you must answer – I don’t know-I’ll get back to you (and never do), or outright lie and say No. You can’t just answer in this case- it might be L.H. or I’ll get back you-I have to ask a shailah, because that’s telling them the answer.
