A lot of the posters have influenced me- as their answers were clear concise and well thought out- the cr enlightened me to the fact that there can be more than one opinion and answer – and you don’t have to admit its right- but you do have to be open to all kinds and accept that they believe their answer is the correct one- you all have taught me to be open minded! Thank you

How could you possibly know whoever you got into a brawl with elsewhere, is the same guy here? That screen name is as generic as it gets. And he posted here today.

Choppy — his posts here coincided topic-for-topic and almost word-for-word with some nasty exchanges on ynet and other places. In those exchanges, it was all the same stuff but worse, including going after people by name. When my name came up, I asked an acquaintance at ynet to follow up on some details and the rest fell into place. In the manner of cowards and bullies, he hasn’t been heard from since on those sites. Over here, I did the erekh apayim thing when he called my views “reform,” but when he assailed (by name!) the reservists in Lebanon who invested their spare moments in the Daf Yomi, I drew the line and reminded him that it’s a small world and that Israel’s libel laws apply just as they did on ynet. Enough said.

Hi Zeeskite,’

You musta heard wrong. I dont sew…I dont knit either…crochet? fagedaboudit! lol

Choppy — he and I both live in Israel (at least I call it Israel) and I emailed my reminder this morning Israel time, about 11 hours ago. He hasn’t posted since then. The brawl I spoke about took place on Israeli sites, so it could have come under Israeli law. Is it the same person? Well, the Loyal Jew in the earlier posts ranted against all the things that outrage YWN’s Loyal Jew, basically word-for-word: in-laws who don’t provide lifetime kollel support, criticism of “frum” spitters and vandals, the nonreligious (the “erev rav”), the Zionists for causing the Holocaust, sports, and so on. There won’t be a lawsuit over this. First, I was much more vehement last time than now because then he had turned his attention to me personally, and he didn’t deny the “charges” but simply stopped posting. That was enough for me (?? ?????). Second, I didn’t and won’t use his name in any public communication, so he’s got nothing on me except that I like ping-pong.

Case in point. I told you these threads are a bad idea. Even if some people are joking, there is no question that some people feel bad about being left out. I know I am usually not mentioned and it stings a bit.

charlie brown I did not feel it necessary to mention the father of the house. You’re once of the all time greats here, you with charlie hall with whom I used to mix you up, though lately you are a bit of a back bencher <sobbing>

Zk, you are well-named. TY (and who says you are a silly personality, I’ll deal with THEM later!) 🙂

” I hereby proclaim you to be the

new official ego booster of the CR, now that I’m never around

anymore.“

wow that’s an ego boosting statement if there ever was one

Good Grief!

Uh oh syag, I might need you to cure my doublepostitis.

Here 42, take two of these and you’ll be on the road to recovery.

charlie brown – thanks so much! Even solicited compliments are nice to get 😉

syag, anytime you need a compliment please type what the compliment should be and I’ll gladly copy and paste it into a new post. 🙂

charlie brown – That’s hysterical, wish I’d thought of it.

moskidoodle, syag and shticky:

Woa!!! Speaking of ego boosters!!! Thanks!!!
