“Who do you think you are to be so divisive amongst us in this CR.”
Because that isn’t divisive at all.

“Just like those who completely ignore p’shat in this week’s parsha and say that Yaakov never really kissed Rachel.”
Umm… Yaakov Avinu also married two sisters, an issur di’Oraysa. At that time the Torah had not yet been given, and the Avos did not follow the halacha the same way we do today. (Exactly what their halachic status was before matan Torah is the subject of much discussion.)
