Yserbius123,

“There are problems in every frum community. Most of them admit it and have long discussions regarding how to fix them.”

This is entirely and sadly untrue. N0mesorah has been criticizing your fictitious descriptions of Lakewood, and I’m here to call out your equally fictitious descriptions of MO communities.

“But there are communities that have very blatant open issues that are so big they affect people outside those communities.”

Whatever.

“And people are screaming at them to fix it, but they adamantly refuse to acknowledge that there’s even an issue.”

Hmm, maybe “people” can take a break from bashing “Lakewood” and have some long discussions regarding how to fix this. Maybe “Lakewood” people don’t like being hated on and misrepresented. Maybe they see your community’s so-called “solutions” and don’t like them, or don’t see them as solutions at all. Maybe they don’t see things in your community as wonderfully as you make them out to be, and they don’t like the hypocrisy of “people” wagging a finger at them while their own house burns. Maybe they even have young musmachim coming into your community offering Torah learning to disaffected young people, because they realize that we’re all Jews.
