    Truthfully, I think of him differently after I heard that speech.

    He sounded honest and intellectual, and he right about many of his points. The problem is that there is no such dialogue between Charedim and seculars when it actually comes down to business.

    Popa: “Bear: please explain the smicha reference”

    He’s referring to the fact that a judge (one with smicha) can’t pasken after shkia.

    Confucious: No matter how much I am sure that I am right about the things I comment about, I feel it is all worthless if I don’t get to hear anyones attempts to refute my beliefs. I don’t like living in a bubble, and commenting to myself out loud is IMO, life in one big bubble.

    I have an idea a bit similar to PBA’s. You invent a cup that has retractable, slide-up sides. You sell the cup as a medium with the sides down, and let the customers figure out on their own that the sides come up to get a fuller cup.

    Apukerma is a pretty decent poster, though I disagree with outlook on the recent elections. I just don’t understand his enjoyment in posting comments that 90% of the time no one responds to.

    It’s really annoying; talking to yourself.

    Addressing the OP- I think it is low class for a girl in shidduchim to wear a sweatshirt while in public. No problem of tznius IMO, but I would probably consider other girls for a shidduch (if all other things are equal) before a sweatshirt bearer.

    Are they all lying? Is Weberman the only one who speaks the truth???

    It’s R’ Hoffman’s and the girl’s words against NW’s. R’ Hoffman’s claims that there are other victims does not make it fact. Not taking sides here, I am just uninformed of the evidence that was used to convict NW.

    I will come off sounding harsh, though I think its worth it. Raising a kid to be open-minded and worldly, does not have to be done by bringing the kid to a burlesque house. We do not expose our kids to drugs, immorality and things that we believe are bad, just for the sake of having open minded kids. I am comparing these examples to TV not because I believe that TV is just as bad. Rather, your post makes it sound that YOU believe that TV is inherently bad for kids (except for the open-mindedness of it).

    Either way, I believe that there are many ways to open a kids mind, and the first way starts with the parents being open minded.

    Besalel, Toi: That issue is easily dealt with. Experienced, long time posters, that have an eye for trolls would be in the Troll Slaying Brigade. They would be able to figure out who is trolling for fun and who is trolling lishma.

    Oh, and Toi, why take offense when a troll post of yours is labelled as a troll? A troll-post here and there doesn’t (necessarily) make one a troll. A troll could be either the cheftza or the gavra. Or both.

    frummy: “…the question had nothing to with the gender of the person in question”

    Exactly. That’s why I wish the titles of threads were more accurate of the actual discussion. The title makes it sound gender specific. Every time theres a thread like this, I hover over the link trying to remember what was actually being discussed; if it was interesting or not.

    Thanks for retracting any harshness that may have been unintended.

    TLDR; No personal offense aimed at the OP, but misleading titles are really annoying.

    OOM: “You should keep in mind that we have no idea what happens behind the scenes – we may only be seeing half of shmendrick’s posts (the others being deleted).”

    If 99% of shmendrick’s approved posts are trolls, I don’t care if his total posts are approved 50% or 1% of the time. Just block him. And I thank the mods for finally doing that a few minutes ago. I personally would have done it a month ago.

    …it should not be done on the public forum. We all know from experience that it can quickly spiral into some very unpleasant and messy witch-hunts.

    You may be right about that. I guess it could done via email with a select few volunteers. Anywho, if it’s possible to go forward with the TSB, I would suggest you, ICOT, and Popa to take up the job among maybe two others.

    Frummy- “uneeq – While there may be many similarities between the two, there are important differences, especially regarding what the OP was ACTUALLY ASKING. If you people really want to go on some religious tirade, why don’t you start another thread that actually has something to with the thing you’re ranting about?”

    I wasn’t ranting nor on some “religious tirade”. It’s wonderful how you saw all that in my brief words.

    To answer your main issue: It’s upsetting when an user titles a thread that is completely inaccurate and totally irrelevant to the question posed in the OP. I was answering the ridiculous question posed in the title. The thread should have been titled something like “Opportunities to sing in a non-gaavadik way” or even “For what purpose did Hashem give people good voices?”.
