youdontsay:
The answer to the first part of your argument is simple — when people argue from a lack of knowledge they don’t deserve respect.
I was actually referring to the way you speak about Gedolim, not about the way you speak to the posters here. But while we’re on the subject – I’d hate to be the type of person who only treats people respectfully if they earned it. You shouldn’t be treating people as human beings because they ‘deserve respect’.
Furthermore, it is no raayah what is mentioned in Teshuvos V’Hanhagos, since the Brisker don’t consider him one of them.
I thought we don’t listen to the Briskers anyway?! This has nothing to do with Briskers. It is a halachic discussion about the parameters and application of the ספק דאורייתא לחומרא dictum. I was referring to your distracting post about R’ Chaim not being l’halachah – so I quoted you a Posek who brings this svara.
I don’t think there is any תועלת for me to respond to your posts, much as I’d love to point out a couple of fallacies and inconsistencies in your rants.
