Reply To: I don't really belong in the CR

Ok. I’m going to explain myself a little more right now. This may not be a very nice post. And I won’t be surprised if it gets deleted.

It really bothers me when I see people here writing freely with no respect for others. They have no problem with being sarcastic, saying very unpleasant things about other posters who may disagree with them about things, making fun of a situation that someone else is serious about. And yes, I just ignore it most of the time. But it bothers me so much that frum Jews can be doing such things. Some people here seem to completely ignore having derech eretz. That is what really upsets me. When I disagree with someone here about something, I try to do it respectfully. And I’ve disagreed with people here many times. And when I think I’ve gone over the line a little, I apologized. I’ve apologized many times here already. There are others here who should be apologizing for things they’ve said, and just don’t. Even if you KNOW you are right, if you’ve said something that can be demeaning to someone else, you should apologize. So it’s not so much about the contrast in views that I don’t feel comfortable here. It’s more about the attitude of some people that I can’t stand.

Having written this, I made sure to not mention anyone personally, but I am sorry if anyone did take offense to it. I’m simply trying to explain what I’ve said earlier.
