So if I want to publish a book, I should refrain, because Heaven forbid someone outside of my intended audience may find it, read it, and get offended? Sorry, it’s a free country, and R’ Meisels can publish whatever he wants. Nobody commanded you to buy it and adhere to every letter
I guess in a book about Shabbos and not a book about Gedolim
zahavasdad u don’t understand do u
And to tie in the OP, Someone must have heard somewhere about knitting on Motzei Shabbos and dedcided this was the halacha and told someone else. Now Subsitute eating Pizza instead of Knitting. Someone heard it was assur to eat Pizza on Motzei Shabbos and told someone else and now they think they are doing wrong by eating Pizza on Motzei Shabbos.

I didn’t get that from the OP. The OP heard from somewhere that knitting was assur motzai Shabbos and asked the CR for a source.

If a hurricane were bearing down on my city and I stayed in my beachfront house because I heard from my neighbor Bob who heard from his pal Joe that the storm was turning away from the coast and I didn’t need to worry, and I failed to check the latest information from the National Weather Service, or whether an evacuation order was given, wouldn’t I be stupid? Honestly, if halacha is important to me, why would I change what I do towards either stricture or leniency based on what someone heard from someone else who heard from someone else? Or even a non-halachic book? I have a rabbi and a brain, and if I fail to use them properly and do something wrong or unnecessary as a result, then it would be my own fault!
“our ancestors did not eat Pizza in Europe “
Pizza is actually an ancient food originating in the Mediterranean region, although it didn’t get tomato sauce until about 500 years ago. (Tomatoes are native only to the Western Hemisphere.) The word pizza is relatively more recent, but covering flatbread with cheese, olive oil, and seasonings is documented in ancient times. I guarantee you that our ancestors in Eretz Yisrael ate it long before there were any Jews in Eastern Europe at all.
