Hi Health.
What am I going to do with you? lol
You say, “Not defending the spitter, but his spitting was a reaction to the provocation. Yes, they shouldnt start up with bringing their kids to school with them not dressing properly!”
Whoa!! I want to avoid a whole schmear of verbiage between us, so just answer me this, if you dont mind:
You said that spitting is bad and that you are “not defending the spitter”. Do you really think no one will see any semblance of a defense for the spitter in your above quoted statement????
This is why we go round in circles, I believe. Maybe you express yourself with using words and terms more loosely than I am used to.
Perhaps you might want to tighten up your thoughts in writing to avoid misrepresenting yourself.
I believe you see a point to both sides. I have to add, though, that even if the girl came to school dressed in shorts, one would have to be a complete idiot to spit at that child in the name of Torah.
As individuals, we all have a need to correct ourselves. Sometimes as a community that may be the case too.
