Health and DWBH:
You’re right that I don’t post very often (yes, you can be shy even anonymously), but I do read almost all the threads – even the infuriating ones.
As far as the black/white thing, I honestly don’t see why this particular issue is so controversial.
I know almost no one that possesses enough self restraint (aka Yiras Shomayim) to sit alone in front of a computer with unfiltered internet access and have no difficulty whatsoever in remaining 100% pure.
Being that unfiltered internet is too great a challenge for any of us, it follows that even if one has to compromise on something important to them a bit, they don’t really have a choice.
So even if you feel that those particular Rabonim from the Asifa shouldn’t be telling you what to do with your life, it doesn’t change the fact that what they said is correct: any Jew who refers to himself as a practitioner of Judaism should not browsing the web without a filter.
