Mikehall: First of all, I didn’t mean to actually compare MO with Conservative (I thought that was obvious). My point was, that there’s no such thing as it’s “muttar for us”. We all have the same Torah. If a Rabbi doesn’t pasken precisely as the Torah does, than perhaps it’s time to look for another one. (Yes, I KNOW there was no TV back then. You know what I mean.)
Secondly, as I pointed out before, we are using internet “Bleis breira” – there’s no choice! After all, I’ve got a family to feed etc. You almost can’t run a business nowadays without Internet. Would this be my first choice? Of course not. But just like we sometimes have to visit Manhattan for a Dr’s appointment, or take a subway, we sometimes have to use internet. And we must learn to deal with it. Unfortunately, the world is terribly dirty and one must work on shmiras einayim.
And last, but not least: I never judged. All I said was that you shouldn’t make it sound as if you’re doing the perfectly right thing. After all, it’s easier to have a TV around than to keep it out. It’s so much harder to keep shmiras einayim. But Yiddishkeit isn’t about taking the easy way out. Don’t pretend it’s “Eilu veilu”.
Daas Yochid: Thank you. I’m also waiting for the anonymous posek reveal his identity.
