Like many others, I was silently following many threads without signing up or participating. I found the threads and comments from RGP entertaining, controversial, thought provoking and got others to react in conversation. Some of RGP’s threads ran 3 pages. I am sad she was blocked and now the topics will miss her spice and spunk. The coffee room will now return to plain vanilla decaffeinated. Is that good, bad or ugly? Was she “top much”? I found that she challenged me to look at myself, wake up and react. I will miss her and the reactions she evoked from others (plus all the Torah sources and quotes which were refreshing). May her screen name Rest In Peace.
*he
Silently following or authoring?
And when you look at yourself, what do u see?
How could you possibly ”notice” that it was blocked ?
Is there like a way to check if someone is blocked?
Like many others I read many of its comments.
Some were weird, some stupid, and most were juvenile.
But too many were outright insulting, and attacking, yidden, yidishkit, and distorting halacha, as well as poking fun at many of minhagay yisroel.
It did not belong being given a platform to spread its poison.
(as a comparison. There are many threads here where people really go at each other, including name calling, attacking minhagim and the like.
However the general feeling is that it is really a frank and open discussion with certain niceties removed due to the anonymity afforded by a screen name.
That’s in some sense a beautiful thing as well as anyone who gets involved is or should be aware of what they are getting into.
Like chabad shelucha .she knows good and well that she will be subjected to full frontal attacks. But she is basically saying that’s why I am here. Attack and I will explain. No holds barred and may the ”correctest ” one win)But this vermin was in it for only one thing.
Fun.
Now that’s also great
Until you start using devorim shebikedusha for your fun.
Think about it.
David hamelech was punished for calling Torah a song.
And we can all understand that if said that with the utmost respect for Torah. But he was punished for the choice of words.Can you imagine this maggot????
Good riddanceAt least now you’ll be posting under a moniker of only bidieved.
As I don’t know you it’s certainly possibly that Bidieved you keep halacha.so no issues there.
But now your rants against Torah will hopefully be dismissed by the mainstream readers as the bitterness of someone who has not found the sweetness of yahadus.Lol, he’s not trying to hind it. The username makes it clear who the OP is. So, RGP got blocked?
As much as I found his antics entertaining at times, it was inevitable. Trolling will always involve trickery, but doing so with the halachah is for sure lifnei iver. There’s a dark possibility that RGP actually thought it would be funny if he could convince unlearned readers to follow a made-up halachah (similar to how trolls on the ganzer internet think it’s funny to convince people that things are secret racism when they aren’t).
“Silently following or authoring?”
Couldn’t have said it better myself 29.
I was wondering how does someone that is blocked post under a different sn?
On that note was Chabad Shlucha also blocked or did her husband tell her it’s pointless to debate these dour snags?
At least half his stuff was tongue in cheek , his halachic “lifnei ivers” were no different then threads where people are bashing other peoples’ halachic presentations with THEIR rabbonim vs. the other side with THEIRS….. in a CR mind you, not in beit midrash. Plenty of bashing and lashon hara especially on some long threads, so let’s not take a holier than thou attitude, myself included.
His main issue, I think, was sometimes being nasty for no apparent reason when debating halacha which should be a logical debate instead of a fight…
Everybody has meshugaasin , I, you , and even the Mods🤣🤣
Abi gezunt……Silent followers have a tendency to check peoples profile to see if they are blocked..
CA, make a new account.
UB, you can tell if someone is blocked because it says “blocked” next their screen name instead of “participant”
I think there could be some kind of compromise for known trolls. Maybe they should have one thread just for them.
Uncle Ben: ChabadShlucha was reigned in by her Shliach boss.
I think even the moderators had enough of RG’s chumras and saying people who are meikel are “wimping” out. Thers’e a story with R’ Moshe Feinstein that someone asked for a psak and wasn’t looking for kulos. R’ Moshe responded if the halachah allows for a kulah I will pasken that way.
Joseph; “shluach”? Now that raises an interesting question about your background.
It would seem that you are not a Yekke but rather of Polish, Hungarian, Romanian etc. descent and are assuming that shliach is pronounced by Yidden from other countries as shluach. Similar to shkuah instead of shkiah.
Or it could just be a mere typo as I just now noticed that the letter u is right next to the letter i. I guess I’m not such a professional typist.Bh my kids and tehillim have been keeping me quite busy
I have this new hobby where I’m on a tehillim group that says tehillim to bring moshiach. We’re currently on round 718!
So why isn’t Frum blocked?
Dy,
I was under the impression that mods know if multiple accounts are by the same person and therefore quash the account before it starts
At least that’s how I thought they do it with Joe
I guess I was wrong
We have a very skilled team of graphologists who work around the clock to match handwriting samples. It’s quite an impressive process but it takes time. – 29
@ Joseph
ChabadShlucha was reigned in by her Shliach bossRight. I’m sure he employed some good old fashioned home correction. Judaism is not Islam Jo.
@ CS
Bh my kids and tehillim have been keeping me quite busyI somehow knew CS wasn’t going to let that one go. כל הכבוד
“We’re currently on round 718!”
Pure hashgacha protis… that’s exactly the area code for 770!
“his halachic “lifnei ivers” were no different then threads where people are bashing other peoples’ halachic presentations with THEIR rabbonim vs. the other side with THEIRS”
Are you kidding? Did you just not read RGP’s threads, or do you really not see the difference?
Pure hashgacha protis… that’s exactly the area code for 770!
I thought they were going to round 770 to bring משיח 😜

29,
You’re the one that said
“Silently following or authoring?“
So you can block at will
NP: How many undisputed sources from the seforim hakedoshim would you like me to cite demonstrating the correctness of the point you challenged?
Well, I think blocking RGP is long overdue. Whoever he/she is, that person is malicious, offensive & downright obnoxious. Good riddance!
Chabadshlucha, you have enough to do on your shlichus (wherever it is) without responding to all the shtussim here. Leave that to Joseph, he has plenty of time on his hands. Unless of course he is RGP’s alter ego, in which case he needs to go as well. Too many similarities between the two of them.
You asked “good, bad, or ugly”
Sorry I can’t comment on that. However, IMO it’s horrifically ugly that there are zero frum forums where serious females (the types who shrink from aggressive debating) can feel comfortable posting. On the CR forums, if our posts don’t fit in with the prevailing pattern of boringly-brainy debates and boringly-aggressive leitzunut, so help us. And if we dare to truthfully whistleblow about urgent matters, we’re censored.
So yea, bring on the leitzunut however unconstructive – yet censor the very-constructive whistleblowing… just consider that it’s hypocrisy such as this which has turned off the most sensitive FFB’ers. And consider it a major miracle that some of us are still hanging on by the tips of our fingernails these many decades.
” However, IMO it’s horrifically ugly that there are zero frum forums where serious females (the types who shrink from aggressive debating)”
There is a very well-known one that is heavily moderated and has ads that somehow get past ad-blockers. I don’t know if I can say the names of competitors here.
Response to deleted post : the mods aren’t needing haskamos so that ywn will be sanctioned, and I’m sorry you find following rules to be confusing but if you send a picture your post will be deleted. Even if it’s a tribute to Rav Chaim.
“However, IMO it’s horrifically ugly that there are zero frum forums where serious females (the types who shrink from aggressive debating) can feel comfortable posting.”
ywnjudy: You have imamother that fits your bill, exactly.
“?ywnjudy: You have imamother that fits your bill, exactly.”
don’t you have to be married for that? also they ask questions which she might not know
“also they ask questions which she might not know”
Just Google the answers. Or ask your wife or mother or sister.
I had the same thought. Imamother is the perfect place for women (and men pretending to be women) to hate on all things religious and pontificate deeply on how they certainly could have done it better had they only been consulted but…hey…what can you expect….
I bet that’s where RGP has been active since getting the boot from here.
If anyone would know, it would be you.
Which is why I revealed it here first.
imamother’s questions to open an account are so easy for a guy to blast right through.
Yes Joseph, when the Torah ‘s expectation of honesty is not important to someone it will indeed make breaking barriers easy.
Syag, are you referring to the site that you described as to hate on all things religious?
If someone leaves their wallet on the dashboard of their unlocked car, describing that scenario as an easy target for a thief obviously is referring to someone not following the Torah’s expectations.
imamother is not for women.
It’s for married women.
If your single than your stuff here.good
who says frumbelieved is not RGP trying to get back here after RGP was blocked?
for that matter we may as well stop assuming anything about the screennames here, you can never know who is behind it, acting or being real…Gee thanks shopping, for your kind words. With all your leadership initiatives you’ve mentioned I’m sorry you haven’t learned more about the Power of Words
Syag:
I don’t regular imamother (I guess we are allowed to say it) on account of my manliness, but I’ve never noticed any anti-religious activity over there. I occasionally see imamother forums when I google a certain community to find information about it. The posts over there tend to be more informative than here (eg. this school has this hashkafah, then this one is like this, etc…).Over here, when someone tries to make a post like that the responses are just: “why not move to Israel!? Why do you love galus?!?!,” and “no! what’s wrong with Brooklyn?! Or Lakewood? Do you hate frum yidden, you koifer!?!?!”
I have no clue what sarcasm is.

There needs to be a comment section on the comment section.
Come in RY, Come in RY. Your signal is cracking up…

Wait, what? What does that have to do with anything I said?
