Mod(s):

How then could it become clearer only later

that it was an attempt to impersonate a mod?

I assume what you meant to say is that it soon

became clear that people would still mistake

“Mod1097” for an actual mod despite the subtitle.

No, I meant what I said.

notasheep:

Tactless or thoughtless, yes, not stupid, though

I must admit that we (including myself) haven’t

been distinguishing between the two in this thread.

scared driver delight:

“someone once told me not to cross on a red

light because dina dimalchusa dina”

Actually, Reb Yaakov Kamenetsky wouldn’t even

cross against a red light on foot.

It seems there is a shita that all laws

of one’s country must be obeyed to the letter.

Poster:

That wasn’t necessarily stupid. It might have been

stupid to expect your father to do it, but maybe he

asked around about him first.

GG [Golder(‘?)s Green, right?] yekke:

He might have meant that it was a pleasure to

be able to do chessed for your grandmother,

and your grandfather might have been

joking in a way that’s common on the Coffee Room.

If you don’t type http://www. (or at least www.) before the address you’re trying to link to, it will be automatically prefaced with http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/, resulting in

http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/google.com

for “google.com” in the markup.

This was why the original link went to

I haven’t been thinking about it – I’m not so good at sticking to tasks, especially when I’m always finding new ones… How about:

EftachbCR – Harping on [philosophy / philosophical themes] ?

_____________

Seeing as this is the subtitle log, Eftachbchinor’s

previous subtitles have included

“Harping on harmonic and beautiful undertones”

and [current as of this post]

“still waiting for my new subtitle.”

cozimjewish:

Or maybe it’s the number that’s a problem.

Now, it’s four. The other three would be

[Not a mod – not even close],

[Blocked], and [Make that seven].

Am I right? If I’m wrong, just say so.

>This poster< got a subtitle in 6 minutes or less. But if you’re thinking of trying something similar, you should know that they were also blocked shortly thereafter. Why? Read the one topic they posted in, starting from >here<, and look at the name on the profile page as opposed to the one in the URL.)

oyyoyyoy:

Next time, just post a link in the thread belonging

to the one you want to see whatever it is.

PAA:

That leaves this one. I’m sure you’ll get around to it.

I claim disproportionate retribution (and wall-of-text syndrome)

in the Ir Miklat thread. I am indeed indebted to you in other cases (though I haven’t read those responses yet), and look forward to repaying you (probably some time tomorrow, though probably not in full at that time). 🙂

PAA:

If “previous post” meant the post one was actually

responding to, which post would be the non-previous one?

Again, what about the question itself?

“From my limited perspective, it’s actually quite rare for a child to be kicked out, but when it happens, […] it’s to protect other children from a negative influence.”

Just as in Yishmael’s case. Are you reading this, OP?

coffee addict:

I’ll take a shot at it. What was meant was not that this method of

dealing with Yishmael was chosen only for the purpose of working on Avraham Avinu’s balance of middos, despite what it might mean for Yishmael – rather, this was the proper way to deal with Yishmael, but Avraham was opposed to it because he was too far to the side of

chesed. Thus, he was correcting himself by doing what should

have been done regardless.

PAA:

It was in my previous post. My post before the one you were responding

to was in fact the one with the question. Now, what about the question itself?

cozimjewish:

She’s certainly intelligent (she solved the “zebra puzzle”* in an amount of time with a proportion to the amount of time it took me that was the inverse of the proportion of her age to mine at the time – what am I thinking, giving you math? :P), but she’s not into academics, and she had a wonderful experience in Keser Chaya last year.

*

Also known as “Einstein’s riddle,” though he didn’t write

it. Give me a day or two, and I’ll post it, b’li neder.

cozimjewish:

Do you think your subtitle should be changed to [Make that seven]?

I see that you in fact did not follow the asterisks in this post:

http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/good-jokes/page/34#post-542677

(I posted the intended final link there.)

As for my post in the candy thread, here it is, but first, the thread’s title (and thus its “original question”):

“Should Jews Give Candy This Coming Monday Night?”

Randomex: Yes. In fact, I think this should be bumped every week, to the delight of all children living near CR readers (and their dentists.)

I made use of the technique earlier as well, as I noted here:

http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/your-coffee-room-report-card-comments/page/3#post-541623

(Seeing as this thread is back:)

coimjewish:

I don’t understand why it’s surprising that

I would have a seminary-age sister.

big

“My problem arose a few months ago when my eldest son, Aaron, started acting differently.”

“The next night however I heard rustling from down the hall.”

“The next morning I arose and went downstairs to speak to my son about the severity of his actions.”

And then, a few undescribed months later, this thread is created. I think everyone should be able to see the problem now…

(Not to mention that “rustling” coming from a room one can

expect to be in use is no cause for alarm, and that no frum

Jew would describe himself as “practicing.”)

PAA:

Not getting a joke doesn’t make you incapable of retelling it,

and if you were unaware of what the joke itself is, how did you

know there was a joke there at all?

Besides, there was more to my post than that one question, and I could say the same thing about some of your other recent responses to me (though not the Ir Miklat one)…

Just to clear my name of any alleged misconduct:

I sent an e-mail to Dena Cohen. This alone meant nothing. However, if you examine the text of the e-mail, I wrote a different mishearing of the lyrics than Cozimjewish did. This seems to imply that I listened to the song in question, which according to most opinions would not be permissible if I was male. But does it? Consider this scenario (assuming I’m male):

Wanting to make it clear that the e-mail did not come from Cozimjewish, and not yet intending to post the e-mails, I ask my sister (>see here<), or some other person whose existence is not testified to by any CR posts, to listen to the song (which turns out to be previewable) and see what they think it says. I then use their impression for the e-mail.

Now, I am not saying that that is what actually happened – I am just pointing out that I would not have had to listen to the song myself to send the e-mail that I did. It cannot be used as evidence that I hold of heteirim for kol isha or “can’t help [myself], R”L.”

eftachbchinor:

At the time of my last post, your last post hadn’t yet been approved. I was not saying that I would be coming to your vort.

(I didn’t come, in fact.)

I was not surprised to find that the thread-starter had been a member for 3 hours.

I’ve seen this sort of thing before (in fact, I had a post about it rejected today) – I think it’s caused by Google accessing pages and storing them for search results as they are at that time. Whatever your subtitle (and presumably username) is at that time, that’s how it’ll be in Google.

It’s a Google glitch, not a CR glitch.

(PAA:

I had read “even if his ??? ??? hadn’t done anything” in place of “even if his ??? ??? hadn’t done anything more than the Shunamis.”)
