GH- I’m assuming your comment about an inch here and there is referring to beyond covering the knee, which is halacha. In that case I agree with you about the destructive methods, the twisted mindset of how to enforce e halacha and the creepy inapprpriateness of those men who walk around searching for exposed skin in the name of Torah.
But if you are trying to convey, as you may have done in the past, that an inch less than halacha is good enough cuz it’s only an inch, then on that you are not just wrong, but are living a bizarre standard where all the rules are goalposts. That isn’t compatible with Torah.
