OK well Pesach is over. We have our beer; we don’t have to be cranky anymore, or “motivated by the yetzer harah.”
I have been reading the CR for years (well before I started posting), and I know that Syag Lchochma is one of the kindest and most reasonable posters here. His/her last comment was a bit ambiguous; I’m not entirely sure if I’m being criticized sarcastically or actually lauded. If it’s the former, then I’m honestly sorry if I offended anyone (especially Zahavasdad who seems to be the center of this discussion now). If it was actual praise, then I don’t see how my comment was much nicer than any of mw’s. I really hope no argument persists between mw and Syag because I feel like we’re all really on the same side.
Mw and DY’s posts are perfectly reasonable and understandable given the vitriol that’s been thrown out against a respectable minhag on this thread. I think it’s really admirable to see posters putting significant time into defending a custom that isn’t even their own.
