Thank you, sir… and have a Good Shabbos.
bombmaniac, I take serious offense at the “slimy” part.
i apologize…i didnt mean it as an insult against you…i was just describing a frog…frogs ARE slimy, i didnt mean that you are a slimy person
I didnt mean it to offend anybody if offence was taken but this is the YESHIVA world
Actually frogs aren’t slimy. I’ve taken care of quite a few over the years.
how does willi sound? I’m an old poster. (though I take frequent breaks in between)
how about a yiddishe mamme?
thats jewish…
My name is realtalk and jews are supposed to tell the truth.
I’m thinking maybe screennames davka should not have a yiddishe tam. Perhaps its a bizayon to Hashem? Or I guess it depends what the user is saying under that username..
But I’m not sure because that’ll mean I’ll need to change my secreenname which I don’t want to do.
Sorry this is me thinking aloud.
Why are you being bittul zman by going back and reading so many old threads?
its better than being bittul zman by going through all the current threads that don’t interest me.
or, maybe if they specifically did have a yiddishe tam it would remind people of their yiddishness (made up word) while posting.
still musing..
That’s what I think. That’s why I try to use Torahdik concepts for my passwords – specifically, words that will have an effect on me when I type them.
HashemisReading serves that purpose as well. I just feel funny calling someone Hashem…. I know that’s not how it’s meant, c”v, but that’s how it feels to me. Maybe I should just call you Reading for short.
It is nice when people have user names that have a “messer”, like yours does. Then you internalize the concept each time you type it.
Lilmod: but my screenname is not really Hashem. Hashem is reading is supposed to be a direct reminder to everyone that Hashem is in the CR so take heed. halachos of onaas devarim are not voided when entering. So calling myself ‘Hashem is Reading’ isnt really putting Hashem to a guf..
I realize that, and it’s a really nice idea. My problem is that as I’m writing out your name, it feels like I’m c”v referring to you as Hashem.
I realize that’s not how it’s meant – but it feels that way to me.
Still not really understanding how you feel like your referring to Hashem. Maybe when people are talking to me they shouldn’t shorten it to “Hashem”? Like if my screenname was Hashem is here maybe it would be a little different..
I guess it’s because your name starts off with the word “Hashem”, so I am first saying “Hashem” when I am referring to you.
I was trying to figure out why this feels different than a name that has Hashem’s Name in it. There are a few differences. One is that this reads as 3 separate words. Another is that I think most names that have Hashem in them either have it at the end (like Batya) or in the middle or it’s not “Hashem” but “my Hashem” (like Eliyahu).
Also with hebrew names, I guess I don’t look at it the same way. When I say Batya and Eliyahu, I think of the people I am referring to, not of the meaning of the name.
