Why is there so much name calling going on in the CR? And people wonder why moshiach isn’t here!
Like seriously!
Baruch HaShem I have stopped over the past few months making digs at posters (even though I so wanted to!)
Sorry if I sound like I’m on a high horse but this name calling and digs sound immature!
(Now I’ll get off my soapbox)
February 16, 2021 1:35 pm at 1:35 pm #1948782GadolhadorahParticipantMy post-inaugural resolution was to retire the “Trumpkopf” nomenclature (albeit he was not a regular CR poster) and with one or two reversions, have kept my resolution. Its sometimes difficult to separate the commentary from the commentator, especially when the post is explicitly designed to troll and is either so patently false, vacuous or inappropriate, you don’t even want to dignify it with a response.
An no, your never on a “high horse” by advocating civility, although those of us riding around on a kleyn ferd may not always take it that way.February 16, 2021 2:26 pm at 2:26 pm #1948797MadeAliyahParticipantName calling is a last resort for some Coffee Roomers. When they realise they are wrong or mistaken they use names.
So if someone calls you a name, you can pat yourself on the back, knowing you made a good point and just move on.February 16, 2021 3:37 pm at 3:37 pm #1948802WolfishMusingsParticipantIf it was me, I apologize. I did not intend to call another person by any derogatory name.

February 16, 2021 3:38 pm at 3:38 pm #1948827hujuParticipantName-calling is the first resort for some Coffee Roomers. I wear those names proudly, so, please, keep it up.

It doesn’t make a difference the posters ON BOTH SIDES like to use the other person’s screen name and make a joke about it, I have done it in the past with Gadolhadorah, and others but I realized it made me sound babyish
February 16, 2021 7:34 pm at 7:34 pm #1948937YW Moderator-29 👨💻ModeratorI often will ‘repair’ screennames that seem to have been misspelled.
February 16, 2021 7:41 pm at 7:41 pm #1948915MadeAliyahParticipantPeople turn into monsters when they’re anonymous.
I think I speak for most of us when I admit that I have said things online which I regret and never would have said in person (especially to @jackk, I am sorry 😔).
As G-D fearing jews, we need to constantly keep ourselves in check and remember the One who is not fooled by screen names.February 16, 2021 9:28 pm at 9:28 pm #1948973GadolhadorahParticipant“I have done it in the past……but I realized it made me sound babyish…”
Nah….just a tad immature. After all, he whose name shall not be mentioned never engaged in personal name-calling or ad hominem attacks on those who disagreed with him (e.g. the distinguished senior Senator from the Commonwealth of Kentucky had more chins than brains…”February 16, 2021 9:30 pm at 9:30 pm #1948981crazy horseParticipantall of you are a bunch of jerks. all of you. no more mister nice guy from me anymore.
i’m calling it as i see it. this is a new era for me, if you’re a jerk get expected to be called a jerk.
as always your favorite writer. the one who everyone waits with bated breath, to see what other amazing and funny things he has to say.February 17, 2021 7:27 pm at 7:27 pm #1949431Red AdairParticipant“As G-D fearing Jews, we need to constantly keep ourselves in check and remember the One who is not fooled by screen names.”
Thank you, MadeAliyah, for an excellent reminder (and one of the best comments I’ve read here).February 18, 2021 12:00 am at 12:00 am #1949525GadolhadorahParticipant“…..and remember the One who is not fooled by screen names”
Are you referring to Mod 29??

This is a post that befits a Yid that lives in the Palace of the King.
In the month of Adar, we should also merit to understand and live by the lesson of the half a shekel donated by every Jew. That includes me.February 18, 2021 6:43 am at 6:43 am #1949600MadeAliyahParticipantI don’t think even the mods know anything about us beyond our IP and Email addresses.
Am I right Mod-29?

Thank you for helping me understand why Haman said שקלך קודם לשקלי and how it tied into מפוזר ומפורד
February 18, 2021 10:35 am at 10:35 am #1949689YW Moderator-29 👨💻ModeratorAm I right Mod-29?
I was thinking about this question because on the surface the answer is yes. We really don’t have more info than that. On the other hand, in terms of knowing you, we do see the posts that get deleted.

I have heard from an adom gadol that the CR Mods (and certain posters) are extremely skilled in Gematria. For example, one of our most esteemed and chashuvah posters adopted the name of the author of the sefer The Baraita of the 32 Rules back in 200 CE (Reb Eliezer). This text (which is sold out on Amazon) enumerated 32 guidelines to be used by meforshim of Tanach. No.29 of 32 explained how through the use of gematria, one could discern much about a social media poster simply by studying the numeric components of his IP address.February 18, 2021 10:42 am at 10:42 am #1949693YW Moderator-29 👨💻Moderator🤫 shhh
February 18, 2021 2:40 pm at 2:40 pm #1949773crazy horseParticipantmods know my email address? please keep it private thank you.
Sure thing, Mr. President.
