    My multi-comment thread, PETA, was recently closed thanks to the suggestion of a certain poster. What did you think about the thread while it was alive, and what are your sentiments regarding its closure?

    Rest In Peace, PETA.

    I think PETA is bad, so it’s ridiculous that it the topic has to be drawn out by people defending them.

    Wow, finding that old thread was a fascinating read into the history of the CR. The moderation was a LOT more lax back then and we apparently used to have openly non-Orthodox posters.

    There were pop-culture references made back then that you never see anymore in the CR. There was a username so inappropriate that I don’t want to say it in this post or I fear it will be mod’d out.

    I have to ask, and I know this will get me in trouble with some posters, when did the tradition begin of claiming everything Joseph says is radical? The thing that got everyone fired up on that thread was the assertion that “Reform, Conservative, and Reconstructionism aren’t Judaism.” I think that’s the mainstream stance of almost all of today’s CR users.

    Do you guys think it’s good that there less of a wide range of opinions here today? We obviously come here seeking out a certain bias, but maybe it was more fun back then. I wasn’t around to know.

    It took a lot of hard work and posts for me to convince enough posters in the CR of the correctness of my positions until the paradigm changed so much further to the right until, as you pointed out, whereas in the past people were upset at me calling out the Reform and Conservatives and calling me an extremist troll for my all-out-Orthodox advocacy, while now no one would even think of posting such leftist nonsense as to even slightly defend the R/C.

    Yet they still call me a far rightist today for my all-out-Chareidi positions advocacy. Give it till the CR’s 20th anniversary and everyone will have by then become Chareidi and we’ll only be debating whether Brisk and Satmar are the most correct derechs for Yiddishkeit.

    10 Year Anniversary of the YWN Coffee Room!

    That old thread is too long to read. Why not state your viewpoint on PETA?

    A certain username is a reference to an inappropriate work, but sounds fairly innocuous.
    I don’t know if that’s the one you’re talking about, though.

    Joseph, if your work is done 10 years from now, what will you do?

    I was always annoyed when Open Orthodox posters like Charlie or rebdoniel would make weird, extreme statements like “black hats are beged isha,” but I’ve come to miss that since they’ve left.

    I was referring to “doped up like an elementary school kid” I think it was.

    “Joseph, if your work is done 10 years from now, what will you do?”

    Then I’ll need to be busy convincing all the Litvaks to become like Briskers and all the Chasidim to become like Satmarers.

    How would you respond to the theory that the CR has swung to the right because people on the right have arrived at the Internet?

    Sounds like the theory of evolution.

    I didn’t know evolutionists started believing that species evolved by acquiring Internet access.

    After looking over the usernames in the thread, I figured
    that was the one you meant.
    (The one I was talking about is not present in the thread.)
