thecuriousone –
I’m just curious -curiousone -do you know the difference between s/o presenting something as fact or presenting it as opinion?
You just proved my post above and I’ll quote it –
“Maybe it was just my wishful thinking that these posters would finally shut up, but I know that will never happen.”
“According to her, that’s chinuch. That’s what she saw, and that’s what she experienced.
Now, for you to say it is an “outright lie” is wrong; you may think otherwise of chinuch (and you may even be correct!), but she is entitled to her opinion.”
She is entitled to her opinion, but she presented it as fact. Had she wrote -“Because of these people’s behavior I got the opinion that this is Chinuch” -this would be presenting it as opinion. She didn’t write that – she wrote -“This is chinuch, child rearing according to the Torah”. She presented it as fact. Since her fact is totally not true -a lie in other words -she is a proven liar.
What purpose do you get by defending her when she clearly lied and defined a Mitzva in the Torah that is definitely not its’ meaning? In other words what’s your agenda?
