Middlepath I really enjoy reading your posts and must say it would be sad if you left the CR as your views and ideas are needed and valued. The appeal of the CR is the fact it is a forum for debate between different types of Jew. I too do get sometimes upset as I read things I vehemently disagree with or at times feel may even be counter to my cherished view of Yiddishkeit, I am a firm believer in loving all of Klal Yisrael, not through rose tinted glasses but from a sense of belonging, history and emunah, our history has never been easy, so many different experiences and traditions, not to mention cultural and political influences along the way. If you can face it, stand your ground it will make you stronger as you learn you can and should express yourself. Sometimes my words are moderated, it is fine and makes me determind to be careful but truthful with my language, perhaps learning to rephrase things in a diplomatic omanner. I am really new to the CR, but have been reading the interesting comments for quite a while, eventually I couldn’t resist joining in with posts myself.
