Reply To: I think I spoke Lashon Hara!

For the record, LU was addressing the poster that I call “me” and you call lightbrite or LB or etc.

As the poster on the receiving end of LU’s information, from what I have gathered and absorbed from LU, note that I did not say “know,” all I heard was someone telling me that I may be okay and if it was what she gathers that it is then that is okay and none of this was any official psak. Of course she doesn’t have all of the details. No one here does. She was giving me the information that I can take with me to ask my LOR. That’s how I took it. Not as a literal command that no rabbinical counsel is needed. And it is rough to read a lot of posts addressed to LU, especially because it makes me think of Rabbi Akiva’s brilliant students who argued with one another and there must be a better way.

Thank you!
