yitzchokm: First off, I was just attacking your attack on Sam2 because it made no sense. That’s all. Second, I think you are misunderstanding the point of contention here. I, for one, have no problem with the Gerrer way of life (inasmuch as it doesn’t affect me, of course). The issue is that it’s being touted as the standard that everyone really should be complying to. Their interpretations may be valid, but are no more or less than anyone else’s. So to say that the Gerrer way of life has more intrinsic kedusha and tahara is very condescending and unfair.
