Someone argued that vacation is a tzorech gadol.
My response is that would only possibly makes sense if you work all year and barely go away.
Even then, why can't you go to a place that has a minyan nearby?

I get it. Its not an easy mitzvah. But if you fall into that category, then back off at yelling at others.

If you’ve never gone on vacation to such a paradise, you’re not entitled to an opinion about it. You don’t know what you’re missing out on, getting away from frummies who think all that matters is their piety. It’s like Gan Eden, but without all the pious people.

I applaud Dan and hope others follow his lead.

Trolls come and go, I find they leave sooner when they aren't fed.

I just want to say for the record, if someone reads a dumb comment on DDF that goes unanswered, it doesn't mean people don't disagree, it often means it's simply not even worthy if a reply.

This goes for hundreds of posts I have read of yours.

You sir better check your attitude or will be banned shortly.
I must say that I am impressed at Dan's and your patience with certain characters around here. Some people could stick around for years until they get banned. Was doodle banned yet?

Gan Eden only has the pious people. Just not the ones who think being pious means degrading everyone so that they can feel that they are pious.

I’m not too particular, if someone really wants that ticket...

That the rest of the forum is basically dead.

This. A few times recently I've wished we had a link to 'View all recent posts excluding the COVID-19 board.'

plenty of people have cited pet peeves on DDF about COVID and a million other things. If you say you are mad that people are trying to make a minyan due to COVID-19, then you are also degrading.

Anyway, have a look at Shulchan Aruch, OC 90,9. Its clear. The Michaber only lets off an Onus. See commentaries.

I’d yell at my neighborhood churchgoers if they tried to hold a service, and I never stepped in a church in my life. What’s the difference?
You don't believe in church going (Christianity). Big difference

I have respect for everyone. Check my posts. Are they worse than other guys? No.
What I wrote here isn't dumb at all. Its an acute observation. People are very strong at attaching shul goers. I agree it is a sakana. Some people argue back forcibly in the other direction. Now I am making a legit observation that if you miss tfila bzibur for vacation you can't really yell at others for caring.

I am sorry if that went to far. Again, I don't think at all its worse than many comments here all the time, but if you are upset, I am sorry.

Talk about dumb comments and anger. Is this not Motze Shem Ra? Someone who is more careful than you should be derided?
I'm certainly not worse off than this comment

OK but it is a rational response to his argument.
It has nothing to do with religion per se.
