Just wanted to translate your post so everyone could enjoy it (and wonder how your post wasn’t violating its own rule).

popa_bar_abbaParticipantI know that many people here don’t like this idea, but in my sons’ school, if a boy came late too often, they confiscated his shoes. [i’ve mentioned the idea elsewhere in the CR.] It definitely makes them desperate to get to school on time.
In my kids school, if the kids come late, the first time they cut off their hands, and the second time they kill them. It definitely makes them desperate to come to school on time.
After a while, all the late coming kids are killed, and then only the kids who come on time are left, and the problem is solved!!
(This post has two points. Only a select few will figure both out. I originally explained here, but then felt guilty for doing so, so I edited it out.)

popa_bar_abbaParticipantIt was the most adorable poodle ever. Everyone was patting it on the head as they went in and out, and I was stuck holding the door.

February 11, 2013 10:07 pm at 10:07 pm in reply to: Should Harassing Other Posters Be Allowed in the CR? #929119popa_bar_abbaParticipantThank you, I meant this one http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/rav-elyashev-bans-nachal-chareidi/page/2?view=all#post-341496
And thanks for noting that one from Sam. I respect Sam very much, despite that we frequently disagree. I looked back to find our first disagreement, before I knew him. You can read all about it here. http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/earthquake-hurricane-during-one-week-in-new-york?view=all#post-291536
February 11, 2013 9:34 pm at 9:34 pm in reply to: Should Harassing Other Posters Be Allowed in the CR? #929116popa_bar_abbaParticipantDY: I think actually the meanest things I’ve said on the CR are here:
The conversation starts here: http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/rav-elyashev-bans-nachal-chareidi?view=all#post-341079
I responded here with my meanest post ever http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/rav-elyashev-bans-nachal-chareidi/page/2?view=all#post-341264
Then, you may continue reading down where he makes up ridiculous shittos and ignores the outright rishonim, etc, until I culminate with this http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/rav-elyashev-bans-nachal-chareidi/page/2?view=all#post-341264
As I state in the last post referenced, the reason I responded like that is that he “sounds like” a talmid chochom, but is actually just making stuff up. That is why I needed to show that, and felt it was appropriate to respond as I did. And I have no regrets for that one either.
I do have regrets for some others though, such as the medication line in the other thread.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantI eat Hersheys in the states, but I literally threw out five hershey bars when I got off the plane this year in E”Y.
You should throw it out-it isn’t good chocolate. It’s bitter. Try cadbury.
February 11, 2013 8:56 pm at 8:56 pm in reply to: Should Harassing Other Posters Be Allowed in the CR? #929113popa_bar_abbaParticipantHaifa: I don’t want to be mean to you; I quite usually enjoy your posts. I just want you to stop being mean to other people.
And I recognize that you don’t intend to be mean, which is why I and others have tried to point out to you when your comments are in fact mean. If I thought you intended to be mean, I wouldn’t bother pointing it out.
And I’m sorry that I am hurting you. I don’t want to hurt you. But I think this is important–I think you need to stop correcting people’s grammar. Truthfully, in many instances it is fine and nobody will be offended, but, if it is hard to distinguish which cases are which, then it is probably worthwhile to just stop completely.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantOOM: yes, the medication line was probably over the top.
popa_bar_abbaParticipanthaifa: I never thought you meant any of it in a mean spirited way. I think you are just misunderstanding the audience.
February 11, 2013 7:16 pm at 7:16 pm in reply to: Should Harassing Other Posters Be Allowed in the CR? #929109popa_bar_abbaParticipantlol
And I call as witness the last time I was actually upset at DY http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/getting-the-other-to-say-no
February 11, 2013 7:05 pm at 7:05 pm in reply to: Should Harassing Other Posters Be Allowed in the CR? #929107popa_bar_abbaParticipantThank you DY
February 11, 2013 6:42 pm at 6:42 pm in reply to: Should Harassing Other Posters Be Allowed in the CR? #929103popa_bar_abbaParticipantSyag: Perhaps I am sometimes mean, and I have no problem with it being pointed out. I don’t make a claim to perfection here. And my issue here is not the occasional comment; I am perturbed by the attempt to institutionalize the offensive behavior.
Also, rabbi dr did not post a link. I’d like to see what sort of opinion I was responding to. I do have different standards when people are attacking the Torah or Hashem or Chazal (?? ? ?????? ???? ????? ?????? ?????)
So here is the link http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/chalav-stam-if-no-milk-allergy-listed-1#post-423875. The comment I was responding to was attempting to undermine the mesorah by declaring himself the arbiter between the mechaber and the rema, and which poster has quite a history for disagreeing with mesorah. I think my response there was well justified, and was meant to demonstrate to the public that not only was he incorrect, but that his scholarship was way off in any event. Do you disagree?
Also while I don’t mean to excuse my ill behavior, there is certainly a difference as Yserbius noted between mean comments in the course of discussion and mean comments that have no other function in the discussion.
February 11, 2013 6:05 pm at 6:05 pm in reply to: Should Harassing Other Posters Be Allowed in the CR? #929101popa_bar_abbaParticipantPopa – I considered it, but felt my point would be better made by contextualisation.
Oh, so you are being serious; I thought you were just making jokes.
Do you really think I’m opposed to her caring about grammar? I could care less. I’m opposed to how she abuses people about their grammar, with posts which–to quote Yserbius–do “nothing but demean another poster”. They do not contribute to the discussion; all they do is insult the poster. She must stop.
February 11, 2013 6:01 pm at 6:01 pm in reply to: Should Harassing Other Posters Be Allowed in the CR? #929099popa_bar_abbaParticipantIS YES AN OPTION IN THE POLL OR IS IT OPT OUT?
Of course it’s an option. It just means sustaining the current regime.
February 11, 2013 5:52 pm at 5:52 pm in reply to: Warning Regarding Auto Insurance and Children #998482popa_bar_abbaParticipantOf course, unless you live in a rural area, one might ask why a child needs (sic) a drivers license in the first place. It’s something of a luxury.
I think it is rather important to teach your kids how to drive. The friends of mine who weren’t driving when they were teenagers, ended up being poor and inconfident drivers.
I think it is a skill worth learning, and worth the extra few hundred dollars a year.
February 11, 2013 5:50 pm at 5:50 pm in reply to: Should Harassing Other Posters Be Allowed in the CR? #929096popa_bar_abbaParticipantShould threads that are started for the sole purpose of harassing someone about their preference for grammatical accuracy be allowed on the CR?
Start your own poll.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantHow is appreciating/even ‘demanding’ bad grammar worse than ‘voting someone off the island’?
How is making fun of someone who is in a hard situation worse than trying to prevent that?
That’s what you’re asking me?
I’ve seen worse insults hurled around the CR without any proposed ‘voting off the island’…
I’m not sure I have. These are pretty bad.
February 11, 2013 5:28 pm at 5:28 pm in reply to: Should Harassing Other Posters Be Allowed in the CR? #929094popa_bar_abbaParticipantDoes that include being disrespectful to people who you don’t agree with?
Of course.
What do you mean by harassing? If you mean a comment that does nothing but demean another poster, then adamant no.
Exactly.
Does it include voting other CR members ‘off the island’ because you disagree with them?
It isn’t because I disagree with her. It is because she posts comments which do nothing but demean another poster. And that is precisely what this thread is about.
I happen to agree with her; I like when people in good grammar. But I don’t go around making fun of them for not knowing good grammar, nor do I say that their opinions are useless if not conveyed in good grammar.
Note how I made a similar case a few years back, but phrased it as advice to the posters themselves on how make their comments accessible. I do it to help the posters themselves. http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/how-to-write-an-easily-readable-post
February 11, 2013 2:54 pm at 2:54 pm in reply to: Warning Regarding Auto Insurance and Children #998474popa_bar_abbaParticipantThe more important question is whether you are contractually required to inform them, in which case they can deny coverage when you need it, even if you were the one driving.
Don’t play games with insurance. It isn’t worth it. That’s why we buy insurance.
February 11, 2013 2:51 pm at 2:51 pm in reply to: Should Proper Grammar Be Required in the CR? #929436popa_bar_abbaParticipantI don’t care to respond. I don’t think posters should be trying to block others opinions because they are suffering from some disorder which causes them to be pained by innocent grammar mistakes.
The least intrusive means of alleviating that pain would be to simply stop reading those posts, and if impossible, to stop reading all posts.
Or to get medication for it.
February 11, 2013 2:36 pm at 2:36 pm in reply to: Should Harassing Other Posters Be Allowed in the CR? #929085popa_bar_abbaParticipantno
popa_bar_abbaParticipantI would just appreciate the same consideration from others.
When you say appreciate, you mean demand. You just started a petition that the mods should delete comments which don’t meet your standards.
Also, as DY said: Maybe you should weigh the harm of the bad grammar, against the way you have been insulting people here–often when they are most vulnerable. For blazes sake, you told someone looking for a job that perhaps they didn’t have a job because of their bad grammar.
I’m voting you off the island. How about that one? If we get enough votes, Haifa is off the island.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantI have no idea. I drove once from Boston to NY, as can be seen here http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/%D7%91%D7%A8%D7%95%D7%9A-%D7%94%D7%92%D7%95%D7%9E%D7%9C-%D7%9C%D7%97%D7%99%D7%99%D7%91%D7%99%D7%9D-%D7%9B%D7%9C-%D7%98%D7%95%D7%91-%D7%A9%D7%92%D7%9E%D7%9C%D7%A0%D7%99-%D7%9B%D7%9C-%D7%98%D7%95%D7%91
That was last sukkos, on chol hamoed.
I didn’t try to avoid tolls though, and I paid for the Mass Pike and for the NY thruway.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantThat is how! The CR keeps all my realities as one cohesive whole.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantpros- save money
cons- have to spend time talking to annoying classmates. Isn’t it enough to talk to them when you are there?
popa_bar_abbaParticipantI went snowboarding today. On Mount Sunapee.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantHaifa: I don’t want to be mean, but you really have to stop with the grammar. I know you don’t mean harm, but is it pretty obnoxious, and often quite mean. If this was survivor CR, I’d be voting you off the island.
February 11, 2013 1:16 am at 1:16 am in reply to: InShidduchim.com: Is That the Jewish Way? #1216411popa_bar_abbaParticipantpoppa_bar_abba & torah613613torah:- Sites like Frumster now renamed JWed and Orthodate, are dating sites.
I think what you mean to say was: Oh, I wasn’t familiar with the website. Disregard my comments please.
popa_bar_abbaParticipanthaifa, it’s ok, we all make mistakes sometimes.
February 10, 2013 4:53 am at 4:53 am in reply to: InShidduchim.com: Is That the Jewish Way? #1216392popa_bar_abbaParticipant147: It isn’t a dating site.
February 10, 2013 4:18 am at 4:18 am in reply to: InShidduchim.com: Is That the Jewish Way? #1216387popa_bar_abbaParticipantI have never visited this website. I cannot stand shidduch agony fests.
How would you know that’s what it is, if you haven’t visited.
February 10, 2013 3:51 am at 3:51 am in reply to: InShidduchim.com: Is That the Jewish Way? #1216384popa_bar_abbaParticipantNo, random people online are many people, so some of them will have good advice. You only have 2 parents, so the chances are pretty high that both of them will have bad advice.
For example, I once met a parent who wanted to know if it was normal to get advice from random people on the internet. So he asked some random people on the internet for advice about that. Is that the type of parent who you think should be giving advice?
popa_bar_abbaParticipantIt snowed tzvei feiselach
popa_bar_abbaParticipantnot really
February 10, 2013 2:20 am at 2:20 am in reply to: Anyone Know Their Stuff About Credit Card Points? #928232popa_bar_abbaParticipanttry googling get peyd.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantBy me there was so much snow. so much snow.
I spent 2 hours digging out my car, and then it was the wrong car.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantMy father says it was a number 10 can, which is 13 cups. So 104 oz
popa_bar_abbaParticipantThat’s what I said.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantlol
popa_bar_abbaParticipantSam Adams is the best domestic beer
Excuse my face? My very own ??? ???????, special reserve ale, is the very best beer in the land.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantI didn’t understand it at first. Then I figured out what you meant. Perhaps a friendly mod can change every “whereas” to a “wherefore.”
I don’t believe you. I think you knew exactly what I meant the whole time.
Also, I meant whereas. Wherefore means “why”, and the poem would then be read as “why did popa do this, why did popa do that”, until it explains with because therefore etc. But that isn’t what I was saying.
