Apologies to SJS

BS”D

I apologize for going way too far in my harsh response to SJS on the aptly named Not So Smart Comments thread.

Basically, I had myself banned from another “frum” forum because the modern and OTD contingent was ruling the roost there, and I even know of someone who was helped in his decision to go off by reading the dialogue there.

So, I “go kanoi” when I see someone trying to even remotely argue for the mundaneness of supposedly natural occurrences against the Torah view which is that the very fact that, for instance, I can sit in Ukraine and send messages to a server in the US via electric impulses, is a ness even if it looks mundane.

Then, I felt very insulted when SJS, who was arguing such positions on another thread where I hope I successfully countered them, called me down for what was indeed a quarter of a post, made during the business day when I could not finish it.

However, after reading some of SJS’s posts, I feel I went very far in calling them borderline kefira as I do not think she (am I correct??) is here to spread kefira. On the other hand I will not hesitate to argue with and attempt to beat down posts which I feel are dangerous because they could lead someone who is questioning to get the wrong answer and therefore go off. But I will not attack posters again; that is not derachecho darchei noam.
