joseph – in another related posting (Eretz Yisroel) – I asked you to justify some of yoru assertions. When your quotes are actually correct- of course I acknowledge them- and do it gracefully -without being red-faced at all.Your quote of R’ Aharon was factual- at least according to the ones who wrote it down- although it does not mean I have to agree with it.
It is not sophistry to ask for real, written sources. It is just plain common sense. (and halachic to boot). If the Chassam Sofer you quote is the source of both quotations, I will readily acknowledge it, although I still fail to see what relevance it has about yiddish being a “holy” language. BTW, the Chassam Sofer spoke german on a everyday basis. Yiddish he called “jargon”
I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about when you accuse me of “insinuating something” about notpashut’s comments. Care to explain?
Lastly, your tone here in recent days has bordered on the hysterical and your comments have taken a very personal tone against anyone who dsputes your views. Is it because you are losing the argument on these postings?
