got the first part, but confused about the second part (not sure if there’s a typo, word missing or it’s just me). ‘I didn’t expect much of a thread to result’
If you mean that you didn’t expect much, then why be disappointed that you didn’t get much? I think if you would have thrown in a couple lines of opinion as an intro (you always seem pretty articulate and expressive) then it would have put a context for people to agree or disagree with. Maybe this way people would have to just agree or disagree with Rabbi Lopiansky, which wouldn’t be nearly as fun as arguing with you.
Being bothered by peripheral talk, however, is just kinda silly. a) there’s no post number limit b) it’s always interesting to see what is on people’s minds c) that’s what we do here, we share.
Does that help put anything in perspective? Cuz honestly, there are few things or people I would want to speak about LESS than sc. but I hate MO vs chareidi arguments cuz nobody cares about the good things the other side has to offer, just the faults, and I don’t find those conversations valuable or engaging.
It is nice to see you join the fray tho,
