Every so often somebody dismisses a conversation as being silly “This should be klal yisroels biggest problem this year.” or want a thread closed “because it is clearly going nowhere ”
I’m not disagreeing, many (most?) conversations here are quite silly and they often go nowhere (though the vaccine one is by far the silliest and most circular/repetitive discussion I’ve been in, and I’ve been in some that had their titles relabeled to reflect how silly the conversations got)
But I dont understand why people care, so others are (obviously) enjoying themselves with a silly conversation, what is it to you? You don’t even have to open up said thread, Can someone please help me understand this
thanks
(Not the mods, I cant imagine how boring it must be, thanks to you as well)Good point, ubiq. It is the same principal when, to take an example, someone is fighting to promote tznius in the community and some people start yelling that isn’t the biggest problem in klal yisroel.
Thank you for an example.
Although they are quite ubiquitous.
There’s logic and there’s emotion.
Most people are unaware of their subtle emotional pulls, despite the fact that these emotional pulls are controlling their behavior and their beliefs as well.
sometimes it may be an emotional pull to acquire something. The job of logic here would be to find a reason to make it happen…
sometimes it may be an emotional pull towards something threatening, such as an accusation or belief that they don’t want to agree to, but deep down they know is true. The job of logic here would be to rationalize dismissing this belief or issue.
if you find someone making a logical argument, dig below that for a subtle emotional pull that’s driving that argument.

The reason people do this is that we are not careful enough about צניעות.
But I dont understand why people care, so others are (obviously) enjoying themselves with a silly conversation, what is it to you?
You have your fun going in circles about first responders and vaccines, and they have their fun complaining about you going in circles. They’re obviously enjoying themselves. I don’t understand why you care. What is it to you?
Ubiq – i completely agree. When there are threads that bore me or are pointless i just don’t open them. And if they could’ve interested me but became pointless, i just try to perk up a different thread. Why anyone needs to tell other people to stop is beyond me as well. Provided it isnt hurting anyone, of course.
Sometimes pointless conversations lead to lashon hara or a lack of tznius, such as when people say that a particular group lacks tznius, or when they describe a lack of tznius in highly specific detail.
