Hi! I always read the posts, but I never actually took the bother to make a user name and post. However, I think the CR is getting out of control. Although I am far from narrow-minded and do come from a rather open-minded home, the topics discussed, are in my opinion, not made for a kosher cite- especially one that carries the name of “yeshiva world”.
I know that there are many different people posting, including some members who think that there is nothing wrong with some of the topics, however there are also singles and bachurim surfing the web.
Am I the only one who feels this way?
Am I the only one who feels this way?
No.
You might not be the only one, but you are CERTAINLY absolutely free to a) express your opinion and b) refrain from continuing to read posts that offend your sensibilities.
some stuff should not be discussed on this site – I definitely agree.As being kosher and all that. well i hav not posted here in a while. now i actually have something to post and to agree with the op
I agreevcertain things should not be discussed here on yeshiva world
Please be straightforward:
Are any of my postings offensive to anyone?
I, for one, think that anything that advocates breaking the law of the land, whether it’s “halachically permissible” or not, should be taken down and/or blocked.
Just by being MO, I’m naturally offensive 🙂
I’m not getting it. Can you be more specific? I haven’t found a website that’s more Kosher than this one.
We can’t ONLY discuss Shidduchim. This aint a teenage blog after all.
examples…everything seems pretty clean here, especially with the mods working overtime 🙂

So any mention of doing a bris milah in Communist Russia or R’ Akiva being moser nefesh to teach Torah should be banned from Yeshiva World?

I, for one, think that anything that advocates breaking halacha, should be taken down and/or blocked. Anything that conforms to halacha, whether it’s “the law of the land” or not, should be allowed.
No sweat. You’re blocked

Being MO is not natural at all. 🙂
Please, please. Remote tickles to all!!
Daas Yochid; If YWN Coffee Room were running in the good (Bad, really) old USSR or the Roman Empire, any threads about Bris Milah or Learning Torah would be banned. In addition, you (who posted on these topics) would hear from the NKVD (Or, KGB) at 3AM with a knocki on the door.
So being Yeshivish means not talking about contraversial topics? Being a molded from a cookie cutter??
These are topics that people, even yeshivish (gasp!) people discuss. They just don’t do it out in the open.
And I don’t think there’s a problem with singles and bochurim. Have you seen anything inappropriate?

I don’t think that’s fair at all considering he was right not controversial!
He’s out of line all the time. Don’t get us started. It’s his way, or the highway.

You are so right. All this dating talk, yuuuck.
The CR is a blemish on an otherwise excellent and appropriate website. Recently there was an inappropriate post describing abuse from an ex-husband. YWN represents the “yeshivishe” type on the web. Frankly the silliness and veiled references of some of the posts are a Chillul Hashem. I recommend that the CR be shut down.
parbenbakar – You can asked to get Blocked if you want, don’t oblige others.
parben..- but Im yeshivish type
Sof haDavar HaKol Nishmah – At the end all will be heard.
Why? because we are allowed to discuss all topics. BUT, as the passuk continues, it must lead to Yirat Hashem and doing Mitsvot.
We talk about difficult situations to help others with their situations and feeling arising from those situations.
Areivim ze lezeh. Areiv can also mean sweeten, as used in bircat haTorah. All Jews sweeten each other.
Parben- discussing abusive hubs is not Yeshivish?
Maybe the jokes thread is more fun, but nothing inappropriate about the former.
You’re not the newest Joseph, are ya?
I don’t like posters like “knowsitall”, who thinks he/she knows it all and we all have to conform to their opinion. I totally disregard people who come here and denigrate YWN and the posters in the CR. If the OP had a legitmate Taanah he/she could have posted what topic(s), he/she finds offensive. Then we could have an open discussion -pro or con. The fact he/she doesn’t do that is because his/her purpose is just to rank out/ put down everyone here. I for one will not go on the defensive like some of the above posters.
I agree with health
Is there a Rav who set guide lines for the coffe room? and if yes can we know who?
I think that would answer many of the questions.
How dare you?1 Their are people that take affents to what you say! think before you speek! havent you ever red the chofeits chahim works and educations! thinking like this is a reddily aparent way away from ‘shtark’
English Please!
yeshiva world leaders – your spelling and your point isn’t coherent. Try again.
metrodriver,
I don’t understand the point you were trying to make (I’m not disagreeing, just trying to figure it out).
yunger mann:
Last heard, it was the palm shaking, rain dance Rabbi from Atlanta. now him?
The CR is a place to be able to discuss topics that people need to discuss in a Kosher Way. If you find it offensive maybe you should NOT be reading them. Try filtering and moving on to the next topic. Anyone has the choice to move on or shut their computer any time they feel something is offensive or inappropriate. Or NOT open that topic to begin with. Trying to deny others the right to speak about what is on their mind or heart is also offensive.
There are enough MODS here to filter what THEY feel is inappropriate and enough posters to comment when remarks are offensive and need to be accounted for. That means in a heated argument when apologies are warranted.
real-brisker & health See my non-response re “yeshiva world leaders”
While I don’t agree with parbenbakar in regards to the CR in general, I found that post he was referring to, inappropriate.
reb yonte – I cant see the hebrew, can you decipher it for me please.
Halevi – Well even so, he should not go and posel up the whole CR.
Koach hapoel bnifal
the creator influences the creation
if the creator is empty so is the creation
Real Brisker,
I couldn’t agree with you more, but I’ll try.
“reb yonte – I cant see the hebrew, can you decipher it for me please.”
Just click on the link -He has post on that topic that is applicable to here.
realbrisker- how do you know which post he was talking about? I personally agree that there are topics and comments that are not appropriate and am grateful when the ones that go way over are erased, but, as I have said many times, I consider it my problem and something I should deal with on my own (stop reading or posting). My job is not to change the world when I haven’t finished with myself yet. (and tweaks to the kids too, lol). But the funny thing is that the topic of abuse (I’m assuming that was the upsetting topic) is NOT something I would put an end to. I think people need to understand what is out there in the private way it has been expressed. Abuse from others and otd issues as well. My problem (again, my personal issue) are the silly, drinking related, put-down related, sometimes pushing the tznius edge, posts.
i have been reading the cr posts for a very long time but never actually contributed!
i have to say that i have been extremely impressed!
its amazing how everyone is here for each other and even though opoinions may vary almost all of you “agree to disagree”!!
some of you have really impressed me!
and this also helps us see how great the yiddishe kinder are!
so many people from so many different backgrounds post here and most are so respectful…
i could go on and on…
Syag – What exactly do you want from me? Are you arguing with me about something?
Huh? I was just wondering how you knew which post the OP was referring to. The rest was just my comment on the topic. Not sure why you got that impression. 🙁
realbrisker-Oh gosh, it was HaLeiVi. Someone (thought it was you) said they saw the post the OP was referring to and I was just curious to know how they figured it out from the OP’s post. Sorry if it sounded confrontational. I usually work very hard to avoid confrontation.
I was talking about parbenbakar’s comment. I don’t either think the abuse thread should be taken down, but there was an inappropriate description there, albeit not extremely terrible, nor that descriptive.
Was it any of my posts or not?
Syag – No Problem

And yet he was innocent here
Even if you block him I back his statement
Eclipse,
The one who posted it is aware of what we are referring to. I don’t want to put pressure on that person, so I hope nobody presses on.
