Still on the knots. I'll come back in a week
Yup, don't get roped into these halachic arguments that knot up every thread here. People are so tightly wound and won't loosen up at all - it can really throw you for a loop.
Best not to get tied down to any side of a discussion, and certainly don't double down. You can string together a beautiful argument laced with wit and humor, but someone will inevitably find a stray frayed strand in the thread and yank it right out of context to undo everything.
Better to just to just slip out and loaf around someplace else.
