COVID-19 Frustrations and Pet Peeves
« on: April 13, 2020, 04:31:40 PM »
There has been plenty of frustration. The guys making minyanim. The guys yelling not to make minyanim. People not wearing masks. You name it.
Feel free to let people know what you don't like and what ought to be fixed.

For me, its about guys who aren't careful always with minyan btzibbur screaming to shut minyanim. Are they right about the danger? Yes. But lets be honest. How many guys fly around the world on vacations because they have the time, money, points, or whatever, causing them to miss tfila btzibur. Anyone like that wouldn't think twice about not showing up to shul if necessary. Their angry for all the wrong reasons.

The people that count are those who are serious about not missing minyan btzibur unless for a tzorech gadol. If those people are staying home, you can be sure there is what to rely on.

People that feel the need to make 20 posts on the same topic within 24 hours, just to show off their amazing gadlus.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Ouch! The people who decide that their own self-professed virtues are what makes them count, everyone else doesn’t count and their opinion doesn’t matter.

You first need to ask if Dan is pious enough for his opinion to matter.

I haven't brought up more issues about COVID-19 than others. I read all about it on DDF. All the issues. And there are plenty. Guess what, I have a peeve too. A guy has his own challenges? We all do. But to turn around and yell at the next guy for trying to make a minyan....you better be a guy that takes minyan seriously. That's my two cents.

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?

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.

I don't know what that means.
What is your source that you can't go to a place that doesn't have minyan? If you want to be sure to always be in a place that has minyan, very nice and dandy, but if you start chiding people for something you took upon yourself then that points to a very serious problem with your traits.

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

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.
