lesschumras,

So, let’s assur any activity that might possibly, however remote, result in injury.

Slippery slope fallacy, and ridiculous. Do you play Russian roulette for the fun of it?

Golfer, it’s hard not to notice when 1.someone grabs an entire plate of Kishka for himself

Never seen that at my shul.

2. When someone elbows you out of the way to get a chulent refill

Never seen that at my shul. The minhag in my shul is to politely say “good Shabbos” (translation: I don’t hate you, but get outta my way!)

3. When someone stands eating at the table and refuses to move etc.

Never seen that at my shul.

Just because you’re a member of Temple Beth Boor doesn’t mean the rest of us are.

Avram, boorish behavior is in the eye of the beholder.

I do think eating contests are boorish, but not one time did I say that or use that in an argument. So why are you arguing with me like I did?

By your definition, a frum slumlord is committing an avaira by putting the lives of his tenants at risk ( bad wiring, no heat hot water etc)

Absolutely. Not to mention potential chillul Hashem. Why would you think I would feel any differently? Dude, lose the prejudice and hatred against your brethren.
