I don't think this came as a surprise to anyone.
I am not sure if I would say it "bothers" me, (I see that many posters are trying to emphasize that he can do whatever he wants and it does not bother them, BUT this or that does bother them) but it definitely "hurts" me to see such a thing (a fellow yid blatantly disregarding the Torah, and then describing it simply as rules), whether it is on Twitter or off, publicly or privately.

How is he disregarding the torah?

Btw, are you aware that Matisyahu Hamacabbi (whose victory over the Yevanim we will soon be celebrating) was an African American (Actually, america wasn't around then!) according to Matisyahu?

Can't say that I am, but I also can't say it matters to me (all that much).

It is not for me to sit in judgment of a person I could not possibly understand. (Yes, oftentimes that notion is aspirational, but I found the original comment ostensibly sympathetically bemoaning the woe of wife and children entirely... unreasonable.)

I'll leave the question of higher standard for public figures alone for now.

And is this not a judgement?!

If you can't see the difference, nothing I say is going to change that.

Now here is where--if I were you--I might say: "Oh, your poor wife and children! Oiy!"

Not by shaving (assuming he did not use a razor), but as others I seem to read between his lines that he's had enough of being religious, and is looking for a "free" and less restrictive life.

No matter how many fancy words you use to conceal your lack of sense, I am afraid it won't help.

I am not arguing if it is a Rachmanus on him or not, in fact I think there are a bunch of reasonable opinions around here, including yours.

But you cannot say that judgment is wrong and then be a judge yourself.

You cannot say that a comment is senseless and then, when your emotions are steered, use it yourself.

First Lubavitch, then Stolin, then off. Does this mean that Stolin is "less restrictive" than Lubavitch?

You know what they say, Don't judge someone until you walk a mile in their shoes... this way you're a mile away and have their shoes!

What's next? Drugs.

Next?

Is that directed to me? I didn't say anything about his Judaism, merely commenting on the idea of drugs coming next

why intimate that drugs are 'next'?

I didn't, I intimated that he's already doing them.
(in response to the poster who's worried that he's gonna start doing them 'next')
