Why is there so much name calling going on in the CR? And people wonder why moshiach isn’t here!
Like seriously!
Baruch HaShem I have stopped over the past few months making digs at posters (even though I so wanted to!)
Sorry if I sound like I’m on a high horse but this name calling and digs sound immature!
(Now I’ll get off my soapbox)
My post-inaugural resolution was to retire the “Trumpkopf” nomenclature (albeit he was not a regular CR poster) and with one or two reversions, have kept my resolution. Its sometimes difficult to separate the commentary from the commentator, especially when the post is explicitly designed to troll and is either so patently false, vacuous or inappropriate, you don’t even want to dignify it with a response.
An no, your never on a “high horse” by advocating civility, although those of us riding around on a kleyn ferd may not always take it that way.Name calling is a last resort for some Coffee Roomers. When they realise they are wrong or mistaken they use names.
So if someone calls you a name, you can pat yourself on the back, knowing you made a good point and just move on.If it was me, I apologize. I did not intend to call another person by any derogatory name.

Who is calling someone else names?

That’s why us republicans are often called the “trump minions”😂😂
Name-calling is the first resort for some Coffee Roomers. I wear those names proudly, so, please, keep it up.

I often will ‘repair’ screennames that seem to have been misspelled.
People turn into monsters when they’re anonymous.
I think I speak for most of us when I admit that I have said things online which I regret and never would have said in person (especially to @jackk, I am sorry 😔).
As G-D fearing jews, we need to constantly keep ourselves in check and remember the One who is not fooled by screen names.“I have done it in the past……but I realized it made me sound babyish…”
Nah….just a tad immature. After all, he whose name shall not be mentioned never engaged in personal name-calling or ad hominem attacks on those who disagreed with him (e.g. the distinguished senior Senator from the Commonwealth of Kentucky had more chins than brains…”all of you are a bunch of jerks. all of you. no more mister nice guy from me anymore.
i’m calling it as i see it. this is a new era for me, if you’re a jerk get expected to be called a jerk.
as always your favorite writer. the one who everyone waits with bated breath, to see what other amazing and funny things he has to say.“As G-D fearing Jews, we need to constantly keep ourselves in check and remember the One who is not fooled by screen names.”
Thank you, MadeAliyah, for an excellent reminder (and one of the best comments I’ve read here).“…..and remember the One who is not fooled by screen names”
Are you referring to Mod 29??
MadeAliyah,
This is a post that befits a Yid that lives in the Palace of the King.
In the month of Adar, we should also merit to understand and live by the lesson of the half a shekel donated by every Jew. That includes me.I don’t think even the mods know anything about us beyond our IP and Email addresses.
Am I right Mod-29?
Am I right Mod-29?
I was thinking about this question because on the surface the answer is yes. We really don’t have more info than that. On the other hand, in terms of knowing you, we do see the posts that get deleted.
😁“I don’t think even the mods know anything about us beyond our IP and Email addresses”
I have heard from an adom gadol that the CR Mods (and certain posters) are extremely skilled in Gematria. For example, one of our most esteemed and chashuvah posters adopted the name of the author of the sefer The Baraita of the 32 Rules back in 200 CE (Reb Eliezer). This text (which is sold out on Amazon) enumerated 32 guidelines to be used by meforshim of Tanach. No.29 of 32 explained how through the use of gematria, one could discern much about a social media poster simply by studying the numeric components of his IP address.🤫 shhh
mods know my email address? please keep it private thank you.
Sure thing, Mr. President.
