MorahRach,
You are very being very judgemental to assume that I was ch”v being inappropriate. As GAW pointed out, it simply means that I was joking (thanks, GAW, for having my back). I used it in this case to demonstrate that that my first comment was not made to offend, yet you used the emoticon to attack me. Let’s call it even, with the IDF issue.
Am I better than a mechallel Shabbos? I’ll suspend judgement on that until 120. Meanwhile, I am kasher l’eidus, my wine is muttar, my shechita is acceptable, and it is assur to speak loshon hora about me (I am included in the class, or klal, if you will, of “amisecha”). A mechallel Shabbos is not.
A shomer Shabbos is bichlal amisecha regardless of the material his kippah is made from. I think it’s terrible of you to classify him together with the mechallel Shabbos. I would have assumed that you attributed that sinah to me, but since I am bitterly against such a classification, and have never expressed such a disgusting sentiment, I am forced to assume that this is your own twisted opinion.
(Okay, that last bit was rhetorical, but it really was unfair of you to put hateful words in my mouth.)
