    Why delete a post that provides the biggest evidence that a suspicious account is fraudulent (assuming that Haleivi is right that it is fraudulent)?

    Furthermore, deleting the post would mean deleting evidence if the Kletzky family or the ywn owner pursues this.

    The mods feel this is stalking, this is their board. They make the rules. If you post here, that means you agree by their rules. If you disagree with the rules, nobody is forcing anybody to post here.

    Great article from David Brooks today, explaining this puzzling phenomenon being demonstrated here, where people glibly defend the indefensible:

    I think “now” would be a great time for it. No need to hire someone. Our taxes pay for detectives.

    Haleivi, imagine the pain of the Kletzky family ,that someone is using their name to elicit personal information and manipulate others. How can you not empathize with their pain?

    It’s not the action, it’s the context. It’s the difference between yelling “fire” in your living room while playing a console game and yelling “fire!” in a crowded auditorium. One is free speech, the other is a criminal offense.

    But why are we making excuses for ayc being guilty? I am assuming he/she didn’t lie and was being perfectly honest and upfront. I ask that everyone please give ayc the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise. He/she deserves no less.

    So let’s get law enforcement here and let them decide what is and what is not criminality. If they say what’s going on here isn’t criminal, then by all means let the party go on.

    An eved can say shelo asani eved once he’s freed, even though he was born an eved. Hashem runs the world, and everything that happens is from Hashem.

    Zeeskite, you keep quoting Rav Avigdor Miller ZT”L. A serious talmid of Rav Avigdor Miller ZT”L would understand that we still thank Hashem for “hamotzi lechem min ha’aretz” even though man seemingly did all the work planting, plowing, harvesting, etc. So too, Hashem “makes” mods even though the mods appear to do the hard work.

    Halevi, when I started this thread, I did it because of what happened to kletzky and trusting strangers. So this ayc character posts up and says, I’m a Kletzky and don’t worry about trusting strangers”. Turns out the guy was falsely claiming to be a kletzky to lure everyone into a false sense of comfort. It’s like the menuval telling the kid, “I know your father you can trust me”.

    This is awful.

    AYC, I mean no hard feelings. I just like a good argument. You haven’t yet clarified your shvil hazahav. Everything seems to be allowed. What’s NOT allowed?

    I sincerely hope you get to post back. That would mean that the charges against you in the infostealers thread are false. The alternative is too painful to contemplate.

    WOW. I am STUNNED.

    I know Joseph. As misguided as he is, he would NEVER, as a talmid of Rav Avigdor Miller, stoop to claiming to be a Kletzky and using that to manipulate people. This better be a misunderstanding.

    This is a very respectful thread. I respect everyone’s opinions. I just want to be sure everyone’s opinion is legit. It’s simply not fair to ask others to divulge personal info without divulging any yourself.

    The best way to avoid this is to have phone-verified sn’s. Nobody knows who you are the the owner can tell the mods to stop labeling everyone with the dirtiest CR epithet allowed by the mods.

    Not enough demand in nyc for this. NYC is too diverse to support this. Your best bet is satellite radio or Pandora, which can afford to narrow-cast.

    I am not a mod. Baruch Hashem shelo asani mod. If I was, I’d have to take responsibility for what goes on here. I have enough gehinnom as is.

    My rav makes a bracha that he isn’t the mashgiach of a pesach hotel, and doesn’t have to take responsibility for what goes on there.

    When you stop using “khutch” in every day conversation.

    When you have no clue when Bahab is/was.

    When you need to switch minyanim on yom ha’atzmaut so you can say Tachanun.

    I’m with Feif Un on this one. I went to college while in yeshiva, and had the degree when I needed it. Other friends of mine are staring at the financial abyss with no ability to go to college and take care of their family.

    The sad thing is I know someone who is out of yeshiva, insists it’s assur to go to college, and is not making much of a parnossah.

    The bottom line seems to be, as long as someone can claim “it’s Orthodox” with a straight face, they’re acceptable as Orthodox.
