@MoshiachChat,
“repaired – next time it will just be deleted”
I’m going to give you some general advice, take it or don’t. A certain degree of respect is warranted if you don’t want to get moderated, or have what you are trying to say totally dismissed. I’m going to give an extreme example here, so please bear with me all:
Lehavdil elef alfei havdalos, if I was speaking with Christians trying to find something to agree on (perhaps to get missionaries off our backs, or whatever, it’s only an example to illustrate my point) I wouldn’t start making fun of Yoshke, I’d refer to him respectfully, while vehemently disagreeing with virtually everything that he ever said. Once you disrespect him, you lose.
Again to clarify, I’m not comparing anyone and certainly not Talmidei Chachamim to Yoshke chas vesholom, I’m trying to bring out a point, that even when you totally disagree, respect is necessary, if only so you remain relevant. (Of course, any Rov is deserving of a certain amount of respect).
Please don’t go crazy over my remarks, this is a flawed example, but all I could come up with now.
