Am I the only one that likes what Joseph says?
i usually agree with him, when he states his position in a calm, thoughtful manner.
I used to be a big fan of Joseph before I become a moderator. At that point he became very annoying and even threatening. I started to see another side of him. I realized that he was not a true ehrliche person as he makes himself seem to be. He has done some things which a true ben-Torah should never do.
His agenda I used to like. But then I realized that he approaches it the wrong way. He pushes his agenda which is often correct. But some things are better left unsaid, or should be said in the proper way. When you push things the way he does it is unlikely that you will have a true impact on the people you are trying to reach. The more modern people who he is trying to be mikareiv just think of him as an ultra right wing fanatic and therefore discard everything that he says. He is the boy who cried wolf (sorry wolfish) So when he posts the same stuff under many screen names it makes them look down on all Yeshivish people which can have a very negative effect.
