Reply To: Should Harassing Other Posters Be Allowed in the CR?

Syag: Perhaps I am sometimes mean, and I have no problem with it being pointed out. I don’t make a claim to perfection here. And my issue here is not the occasional comment; I am perturbed by the attempt to institutionalize the offensive behavior.

Also, rabbi dr did not post a link. I’d like to see what sort of opinion I was responding to. I do have different standards when people are attacking the Torah or Hashem or Chazal (?? ? ?????? ???? ????? ?????? ?????)

So here is the link http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/chalav-stam-if-no-milk-allergy-listed-1#post-423875. The comment I was responding to was attempting to undermine the mesorah by declaring himself the arbiter between the mechaber and the rema, and which poster has quite a history for disagreeing with mesorah. I think my response there was well justified, and was meant to demonstrate to the public that not only was he incorrect, but that his scholarship was way off in any event. Do you disagree?

Also while I don’t mean to excuse my ill behavior, there is certainly a difference as Yserbius noted between mean comments in the course of discussion and mean comments that have no other function in the discussion.
