frumnotyeshivish – It would have been better if you actually didn’t have a Yeshiva education because at least you would have an excuse. But using your Torah knowledge to say/write whatever you want makes the Aveirah so much worse!
To defend yourself you state:
“I didn’t say to deal with the FACT that what I said is not LH I told you to deal with the reality that Touro’s bad name affect the value of their degrees in this world.”
I’ve been out in the real world, just like you, and not e/o thinks bad about Touro because of that incident. As matter of fact, no Goy I know of, thinks that degrades the value of their degree. Oh, I know plenty in the Frum community who use that to put down Touro, but so what?
“To summarize the Lashon Hora if there is a Toeles(which there is)and not publicizing anything (which I didn’t) and not discussing individuals (which I didn’t) it is not LH.”
Something that is a figment of your imagination – that that incident devalues their degree doesn’t make it a Toeles! At the time it was happenning -maybe it would have been a good idea to refrain from going because noone knew how far up it went, but not now!
“Motzi Shem Ra is classically referring to something which is untrue.”
Yes and to implicate the school because of this incident in Untrue. I just posted that the people in charge of the school were Not involved. So they are the only ones who represent the school, none of their employees do if not acting on their behalf!
So by using this incident to put down the school is Motzay Shem Ra, because the individuals involved did not represent the school!
Actually if you went to YU and your Krumkeit is due to that fact of attending there, you gave the public the best reason -Not to go!
