He speaks of his feelings that were hurt on that YomTov day. "They should have forgone on their silly rules and let me lead". Yet, he thinks very little of the feelings of the public, the ones who preceded him there, and who made him feel comfortable in the first place.
Something inside of me feels for him, understands where he's "coming from", but the empathy doesn't last long. It cannot be that an incident that can very easily be explained to any five-year old should have such reprecussions. The handwriting was on the wall for all to see. He wasn't getting "the respect" he deserved, the recognition for his sacrifices, as common as they may be.
So, our friend resorts to attacks, personal, hateful, mean and vicious. The targets are very broad, without fear of offending anybody, even those not amongst the living, and maybe because of that. They are the easiest targets, for they cannot defend themselves, so we aim to do the defendin' around here from now on.
What about opinions stated as indistputable facts by cranky old-timers with Lubavitcher heritage... and an inexplicable chip on their shoulder?
ReplyDeleteJB, please elaborate.
ReplyDeleteI see that TA hosts a domain for like minded cranky people who are mad at Chabad. The leader of the pack of malcontents seems to be the Big Cahuna of em all: S.A.
ReplyDeleteThis guy is on any side of the issue on any given day. An oiberchochom par excellence.
It seems that TA defers to him as the master of all Chabad dirt, but this "yedid" of SSD, Lasagna Rebbe, feels like a member of the Lubavitcher camp when he feels like it -- just not a follower of the Rebbe -- who (the Rebbe) is indisputably a greater human, Talmud chochom, representative of Chabad, etc., then this super critic.
As they say, "those who can, do" - and the Rebbe "did." Everyone else is a critic. I hope they don't hurt themselves when they fall off that high horse.
The rest of the reglars there (Ex: Berl, CE, Rebeljew, Avremel, FedUp) are dupes, or chassidishe misgandim (Maloch, Y. shimon).
HirshelTzig - Hatzlacha. You need people equal or better than S.A. to succeed. TA is a much lesser annoyance.
Does that mean I need to change the name?
ReplyDelete:)
i say find something better to do with your time
ReplyDeleteSo everyone has their own blog these days, eh?
ReplyDeleteJB,
My! You sound too close-minded for someone with those initials.
And Hirshel,
I geuss you're the same Hirshel that I ran into @ FedUp's site... I hope I am not at fault in this venture; did I touch a nerve there? I thought we cleared that up?
;-)
CE, you think one post clears anything up? noooooooo siree bob!
ReplyDeleteJB, in SA's defense, he speaks of the heart and is not a tower of the party line. A very knowledgeable man, indeed.
