To mdd1
The quote you intended was, “Denial is not a river in Egypt.” I don’t understand how you can have the nerve to call out Avira when you lack the intellectual honesty to admit that you mistakenly criticized me. Clearly, you can’t accept Mussar so you prove that Rabbi’s point that people shouldn’t be chastised.
To the group
As promised I spoke to someone who is completely reliable and he told me that watching TV is no worse than any other activity in which your eyes might be exposed to inappropriate material. I told him that basically I restricted my watching to sports and he said it’s OK. Obviously, I can’t reveal his name but he is an enormous Talmid Chacham. For the sake of honesty I will admit that the other side definitely has upon whom to rely. Yes the Gedolim like Rav Moshe and many others were totally against it,(unlike mdd1 I admit that I was wrong for implying that this was solely a Rabbi Miller crusade) but the person I asked is an unimpeachable source. Bottom line, you guys should continue to abstain, but I’ll continue to ask in accord with my Rabbonim who perhaps, are more Meikel.
