BTGuy -“Hi Health.”
Stop with Hi -I don’t know you that you have to greet me -so it’s annoying.
“You say, “Not defending the spitter, but his spitting was a reaction to the provocation. Yes, they shouldnt start up with bringing their kids to school with them not dressing properly!”
Whoa!! I want to avoid a whole schmear of verbiage between us, so just answer me this, if you dont mind:
You said that spitting is bad and that you are “not defending the spitter”. Do you really think no one will see any semblance of a defense for the spitter in your above quoted statement????”
I’m not interested what’s going on in your mind or anyone elses.
You claim to be knowledable in the English language. Explaining why s/o reacted the way he did is Not necessarily defending his behavior. And in this case, I said clearly what I hold.
“I believe you see a point to both sides. I have to add, though, that even if the girl came to school dressed in shorts, one would have to be a complete idiot to spit at that child in the name of Torah.”
So what? And do you think the mother isn’t responsible for provoking such a response -whether it’s shorts or a different Untzinus dress?
“As individuals, we all have a need to correct ourselves. Sometimes as a community that may be the case too.”
Sorry, now you sound like all the MO haters. I don’t believe in collective blame!
