DY – Oh my gosh! How bout this – I have no idea what you are talking about, I have only said, using every permutation of the alphabet that you misunderstood me and you just can’t let it go. Why is it so important to you to make me look stupid, and thank you for supporting those who joined in. Do you do this to people in person as well? When you believe strongly that they said something and they tell you that that is not what they were saying and they re-explain, do you just keep at them until they make something up, or feel like idiots? I don’t get what your point is. And, for illustrative purposes (though I am just opening myself up to more nit picking)
THIS – The feeling that one is entitled to be paid for hard work, when halachically owed . . . is quite natural and does not reflect bad middos. DOES NOT equal THIS The shadchan may deserve to be paid, but she does not deserve to want MORE THAN HALACHA DICTATES. She has no business telling me that my payment AS DETERMINED BY HALACHA wasn’t good enough. And if you can’t see that, than please just let it be!
