Health: I guess you have the right to be insulted by whatever you want, but the facts remain: I didn’t call you a liar, I said you lied. (Yes, there is a difference.) And, that’s not an insult; it’s a fact.

You’ve claimed around a dozen times on this thread (by my estimate) that people have said motzi shem ra (in the thread) about Touro. I searched through this thread (when I condemned you for lying) and I couldn’t find one instance of this. Ergo, I’m convinced that you lied.

With regard to the second lie you said, it’s false that Dr. Lander “instituted all policies in any Touro school.”

Also, I’ve got a few questions for you?

1. Why do you think I have ga’ava?

2. Why do you think I attend YU?

3. Why do you think I am bitter at Touro?

HaKatan: I don’t know how much involvement he had at various campuses (I would assume that each campus is basically run by people on campus, but who knows for sure), but I’m quite certain that he didn’t “institute all policies” in any Touro school. And my guess is that, no, Richard Joel doesn’t call the shots at Torah MiTzion Kollels.

Rav Daniel Lander is a person who is currently chancellor of Touro. Dr. Bernard Lander was a different person who used to be president of Touro. I’m not sure what this resolves.

Lashon Hara is an aveirah, true enough. I was responding to Health accusing me of motzi shem ra, which was an inaccurate claim. I think my offending statement was “ut, now that you mention it, there probably have been violations of halacha at Touro.” I’m not sure if this is lashon hara; maybe it is. Maybe I shouldn’t have said it.
