Ders: I’m sorry. I didn’t realize that explaining Shittos that Frum Jews hold by is “defending the indefensible”. It’s nice to know that when I quote the Mekoros or R’ Schachter that it creates some sort of P’gam because you have decided it’s an indefensible position. (I don’t think I ever specifically spoke here about Gemara at Stern, but I don’t see why that wouldn’t fall under the Prishah; as far as I know they’re not mandatory). And I quoted R’ Schachter as having said that about Rabbi Lamm, which may have been inaccurate. That quote may have been from R’ Soloveitchik or someone else in charge (I heard it B’sheim R’ Schachter but I’ve since been informed that it was someone else).
And it’s interesting that you mention that quote of mine. That discussion was closed before you started posting in this forum. (In a possibly unrelated note, why can’t I see your profile?)
