Sam2: Some of my favorite memories are from when I go to Lakewood and proudly wear my kippah srugah. I was learning once in a shul on a Yom Tov between Mincha and Maariv, and someone asked if he could take one of the seforim I was using. Not just for a second, he wanted to take it away. I told him I was using it. He strongly implied I didn’t know how to learn because I didn’t have a black hat. I told him that was stupidity, and offered to talk in learning with him. I then proceeded to teach him a real lesson. At the end, he apologized to me.
