    I feel like everyone is rationalizing…. I was wondering myself but kept on pushing away that thought. Whaat makes this muttar?

    I never thought of YESHIVA world as a chat room but thats what it is. Why is it ok?

    This is my last post on this site.

    I think the CR is a kosher way for people to bounce ideas off each other. But again, if you think it’s bad for you, you should stay away.

    How is it a chat room? It’s a forum which is moderated – hence the “edited” on your post.

    Is Letters To The Editor on every Heimishe newspaper also a chat room?

    You can be machmir (stringent) on your self.
    But you have no right force chomras (stringentcies) on other people.

    A mechitza isn’t a chumra; it is Halacha.

    Mechitza is a halacha in a shul or at a wedding.
    Mechitza is a chumrah on a internet chatroom/bulletin board.

    If the internet itself is mamash tameh according to some gadolim, how can a mechitza on the internet even be considered whether per halacha/chumrah or otherwise. We don’t typically debate whether its mutar to use cholov stam or cholov yisroel in a recipe for cooking chazerfleish

    I agree with you those that post on internet chat rooms/bulletin boards shouldn’t talk about setting up mechitzas.
    I can tell you a few other places where being machmir is chumrah.
    Not walking in the city streets during the summer time is a chumrah.
    Not riding the subway during rush hour is a chumrah.
    Having a separate bathroom/bathtub for women in your home is a chumrah.
    It’s great if you can be machmir and keep all these chumrahs but most people can’t and don’t and will remain conflicted.

    There is no objective standard as to what is a “chumrah”. If a certain practice goes beyond the plain language and common understanding of the parameters of a halacha and “going the extra mile” makes you feel stronger in your emunah, than to you, its not a “chumrah”, since you’ve already move the baseline (both intellectually and spiritually) to your practice. To you, its “what you do”; to others, “its a chumrah”.
