oomis,
All the teenagers ON THIS WEBSITE who have repeatedly said that they can & do get past any filter are reading your post & laughing at your naivete.
You say, “I think that many people who have extremely strong negative feelings about the internet, do so because it is either soemthing they are being taught to believe, or they have heard of “someone” having a bad experience.”
I personally heard R’ Belsky speak about MANY MANY FAMILIES which he personally was invoved with which were destroyed because of the internet. And bear in mind, he is only ONE Rav.
Oomis, you are a nice person, but you’re closing your eyes & ears to reality & living in a fantasy land.
