Feif,

I know that you’re probably not an old fogey like me, so let me impart a bit of wisdom to you.

As you go through life, you’re going to find people who take joy in snide comments, disparaging remarks and outright insults at people who don’t exactly fit their mold. Their idea of shivim panim laTorah is kind of like Henry Ford’s ideas about colors for the model T — you can have any color you like, so long as it’s black.

While most people would consider it perfectly acceptable to respectfully take issue with the Rav’s* positions on varying matters, there are some who prefer to take the low road and instead simply issue snide ad hominem attacks. Such attacks, in my estimation, only reveal more about the character of the person issuing them than the character of the person at whom they are aimed.
