Last time I looked at the Seforim blog he wrote that Chazal had a sense of humor since he found a Drasha funny. That was my last time there.
That site is actually an example of being over the top the other way. He considers anything the big bad “censor”. Yes, we do carefully select what we feed our children. When they get older we fill them in on the world around them, but first we build up our world.
No, it is not important to gossip about Gedolim. Instead of living up to greatness we try to bring the great down to us. The greatest compliment about a Gadol is being ‘down to earth’, having a sense of humor, also enjoys good food, and is ‘regular.’
Some complaints sounded legitimate. But otherwise, someone who learns first-hand will get the big picture in the correct context. Whereas getting these obscure quotes in a lecture or an article paints an unoriginal perspective.
