I believe the mekor is from one of the previous Gerrer rebbes, therefor I don’t think it is wise to scoff the minhag as it was implemented by someone greater than we, aside why do some people seem offended. say whatever term makes you happy but don’t judge others because of your decision.
Wolf, you looked at the eclipse with “bare eyes” ? i was under the impression you needed special glasses. BTW where did you go for the viewing, i know someone who went to ST. Joseph and couldn’t see because it was cloudy?
The` term “chareidi extremist” I believe is an oxymoron, part of being chareidi is going the “middle path”, meaning following the Torah but not making a Chillul Hashem, HaRav Ahron Teitelbaum (one of the Satmar Rebbes) once said not to go to the Anti-Gius rallies because they are a Chillul Hashem, regardless of the fact that the rallies are for a good cause, (according to Satmar at least, I’m trying not to offend any pro-gius people, inasmuch as I disagree with them).
