HaKatan:
As usual, excellent post.
twisted:
I did not say that your comment was “illogical or intolerant”. I was simply pointing out that saying “Note that as yet you did not receive an apology fron the “ben torah” nor was “helpful” very polite. The discourse will not always be rational and you will see the circling of the wagons.” isn’t exactly the most “polite” thing to say, either.
That said, I will quote you a comment that I would most certainly classify as “illogical and intolerant”, “not always… rational”, “[not] very polite”, etc, etc.
“are you smoking something stale, myfreind? Upended? lost chance? clearly indicated? drivel? You seem to read a lot into plain Q&A. Were you the class bully as a child?”
Recognize it?
