In the past few weeks almost every division of klal yisroel lost one of their gedolim. And if that wasn’t enough we then lost a precious neshama of Leiby.
SO WHY IS IT THAT WE’RE STILL FIGHTING???
WHY IS THERE SO MUCH SINAS CHINOM ON THIS COFFEE ROOM??
I just dont get it.
I grew up understanding the concept that we can “AGREE TO DISAGREE!!”
and most people on this site seem to think that if someone disagrees with you its a personal attack to everything you stand for.
ITS NOT!
I wonder if people realize that even without meaning to they say so much loshan hara by bad mouthing other users on this site.
Yes even if officially you don’t know who the poster is… its still can be known to others who read the site….
We’re coming up to Tisha Baav and we should not have to!
If we can only get rid of this Sinas Chinom inside then maybe we wont have tisha baav this year.
We all make mistakes.
We all do things we shouldn’t.
But if instead of judging each other by our own standards, we support each other in our times of need (like when I was having a down and the people in the coffee room were all so supportive, writing me poems, telling me chizuk, THAT was beautiful.. )
Who knows what we can do??
There is tremendous power in this coffee room. It is seriously Jews from all over the world gathered together as one and if we use it in the right way like how we can get the sefer tehillim said for people in minutes then who knows what we can achieve???
I’m not saying to now discuss topics of interest on this site, that’s ok, but only if you respect another persons opinion, and if you do disagree that’s ok. You’re not marrying the person, you’re just having a conversation with them. I come from a Yeshivish/Bais Yaakovy home and some of my closest friends are from YU families. Would I do some of the things they do? No. Does that make me respect and care about them any less? No WAY!
I can write about this forever but maybe we all should just try to be more consciousness (I think I spelled that wrong) about respecting our fellow Jews. And when you see someone who doesn’t respect his/her fellow Jew, instead of attacking him/her, maybe let it slide or the most part support that fellow Jew. That would do alot more for Hashem then bashing the basher.
Don’t forget the lesson of the Cha Gadya – Stay out of it, it’s none of your business.
Thanks for listening 😀
lets be friends again
I don’t understand (especially in The Nine Days!):
why the Moderators were not doing their job in moderating submissions, as they clearly were not last night .. even after seeing the distress that was being caused me.
(even tho’ they did delete Bar Shattya’s comment to me: “stop crying you dolt”).
“Cyber-bullying is “the use of information and communication technologies to support deliberate, repeated, and hostile behavior by an individual or group, that is intended to harm others”.”
I’m sorry to say that I felt just as disrespected & abused by the complacency & non-action of the Mods, as I felt from the rude, lacking Derech-Eretz comments of above-referenced poster to myself & others.
You are right. I don’t think it is so much that we can’t disagree, it is the way we disagree, almost with venom. Of course we can choose to disagree and everyone is entitled to their own opinion. But the way some of us go about it and rake each other over the coals for disagreeing is truly very harsh and wrong.
Mods~ I still don’t understand why my comments have not been dignified by a response. 🙁
I am sorry for anything that I might have caused in the CR. I know that I reacted a little harshly especially to bpt. Please please forgive me. I think it was just one of those days….
we all have those days
Busy As A Bee~ thank you for your response.
as I said above^, “I’m sorry to say that I felt just as disrespected & abused by the complacency & non-action of the Mods..”
& I see that Mods have subsequently posted on my thread decrying the original problem, but STILL not addressing the ikar!! :/
its not an excuse but thank you
I LOVE these days. The days everyone apologizes to everyone else.
ZeesKite, for me, that’s every day. I’m always apologizing for things. I have to learn how to stop.
sorry to say, but no one has apologized to me & I had even clicked on ‘contact us’ (upper right hand corner of pg.) last night & wrote to the ‘Administration’ saying that I deserve an apology for the disrespect shown me. …& apparently, continues to be afforded me ://
ur not gonna get it so just move on
I am certainly not going to apologize. It was a funny funny joke. Good times had by all. I’m happy to see it was all taken in good jest. I love how people are so understanding.
thanks, Busy As A Bee!! liking your last paragraph…
—-
hmmm… ‘adorable’~ there are nicer ways to express yourself, ya know.
yes, it’s a funny joke until it happens to you Bar Shattyup (how would you like it if people called you that when you entered the CR and maybe if a mod put it as your subtitle (I don’t think you would like it) and let’s see how understanding you are
I know how to communicate. Write “dolt” at the end of your post. it works wonders
sorry that you took my post harshly. not meant to be at all! I just meant that I have waited for them to contact me and simply take care of something small but whatever its just not going to come. thank you
I wasn’t following the CR last night so I’m a little lost…what happened to “always here”?
Busy As A Bee~ last night:
me to the Mods: “…please delete the poster’s comments wherein he has called the CR posters ‘dolts’ in at least 2 threads that I saw?!
I posted my comments on said threads in caps, which were posted, but the name-calling poster’s comments remain in at least one thread.
it’s against YWN-CR’s Editor’s rules!!!”
As a frequent poster / visitor, I feel the tone and content of the CR is, for the most part, in sync with what you would expect from a forum like this.
True, from time to time, there are heated debates, and sometimes, things get said that are later regretted (case in point, me), but within a short time, the ripples are smoothed over and apolgies are exchanged.
Is the CR perfect? No.
Does the occasional loshon horah slip past? Regrettibly, yes.
Do the mods /members do a good job of content managment? Yes.
Are we head and shoulders above the rest of cyberspace? YES.
Busy as a Bee:: I give you a standing ovation! Kol Hakovod!!
sorry, adorable.. please forgive me.
dunno:
Not being on last night is a ????? ????? ???? ?????
The original post which sparked it is not up.
That subtitle works too R. Mod
Why woul i care if someone called the entire cr a bunch of dolts? Why would i care if someone called joseph a dolt? Why would i care if someone walked up to me in real time live and started singing “dolty dolty dolty” dolty dolty dolty”? I guess i would care if my fathjer called me a dolt and meant it.
Busy as a bee-
I 100% agree with you. Sometimes when I read threads in the CR I just can not believe how people are talking to each other. It makes me so sad. We are all yidden. There are definitely times where I disagree with other people (facebook thread) and I try my hardest not to speak disrespectfully or offensively while stating my opinion and ideas. Just because I do not agree with what some people do, doesnt mean they are better or worse than me. We are all judged separately. everyone should really try and be more aware of what they are saying(typing ) and how they are saying(typing) it.
btw the dolty song is sang to the tune of na na na na na na
I change my mind. my father couldn’t possibly say “dolt” with a straight face. can you? try it, try it. you wont know till you try.
what tune is that? can you be a little more specific
anyway always,
from that thread it was said that he came home from yeshiva meaning he’s an immature teenager and you can’t take what he said seriously (teenager are wired differently than regular human beings, it’s a known fact)
teenagers are regular human beings but they dont have an adult undersanding of somethings yet
coffee
I have a cousin in yeshiva. He’s 45.
if you thought bs was a teenager, how wud that prove he’s immature. i know a mature teenager.
If you thought my posts were immature, what does that have to do with age? there are plenty of middle age babies.
i dont think you are a day older than 3
that’s nice but you are a teenager, and you’re cousin isn’t “in Yeshiva” if he’s 45 maybe in kollel or a rebbe or is a Baal Habas learning in a yeshiva, but sorry he’s not “in Yeshiva”
busy
Me? Mochel? theres nothing to be mochel. just a bunch of good spirited clean fun. not much clean fun nowadays and you guys are great at providing it. cheers all around.
are you stalking my cousin? just what he needs! for you to ruin his menuchas hanefesh.
“it has never been as bad as it has recently.”
I guess I see what I want to see (or see others how I see myself)
At any rate, I’m all for more civility, so yes, we can (and should) change for the better.
All I ask, is that we give credit where its due.
As the holy and great reverand Maharaja Rushy Limbaugh is known to say- “More fun than a human being should be allowed to have”
But, hey, hiskatnu hadoros; people need more outlets nowadays.
