Reply To: Respecting People: A Rant

I subscribe to the belief that “M’toch shelo lishma, ba lishma,” I have said it repeatedly. When dealing with OTD kids, boy or girl, divrei tochacha b’nachas nishmaim. If you come down on them or approach them all judgmental a breathing fiery kana-us, all you will do is be marchik them even more. And I would tend to feel that that probably would be an aveira.
