Most likely. They are probably still paying him, just want their name out of the picture.

Artscroll released a statement saying the Weisses (uncle included) will not be drawing salaries until the issue is resolved.

Someone at Artscroll told me they lost over half a million dollars in sales and sponsors over this... And they are not even at fault here... $:-\$

That I do think. Hopefully now the sponsors will come back.

Artscroll doesn't only publish siddurim... there were several "boycott Artscroll" FB pages, I read through some of the posts, there were definitely people saying they won't buy any Artscroll products in the near future...

in general the statistics speak for themselves

their are currently a numerous amount of either recently or about to be divorced young couples (shona rishona,or 1st-2nd year of marrige) in lkwd.
of course it has nothing to do with lkwd. lkwd just happens to have the largest amount of newly married frum couples.
im sure the numbers are the same in proportion in other frum communities as well

am told that a good portion of those cases are caused by you guessed it "THE INTERNET, FACEBOOK, ETC"
this is the cause of many couples having their lives destroyed .

the internet is a great tool which we all have become dependent on whether for business,shopping, communication etc
but its the most dangerous tool as well
human relationships are complicated enough on its own but to have a tool which lets you air your laundry and disagreements with others in such an easy "seemingly harmless" "anonymous format is the beginning of the end and the cause of many a failed marriage

Agreed! But I believe one of the greatest causes for break-ups/divorces is the current day mentality that we need constant change instead of dealing with the decisions we made just a short while earlier... i.e.- Don't like something about your phone/laptop/car just dump it or sell it and get a new one...

in short we call it disposable generation

You can't blame Facebook, but you can blame the couples who MISUSE Facebook.

I still can't believe that couples post pictures of their honeymoon outings for all their friends to see. An outing is supposed to be a personal event, not to be shared with friends. If you are going to share it with your friends, why not just bring them along?

Reminds me of what Dan said at the BP seminar, "we gathered here to discuss the Internet" (to find out the good side of the internet)

IMO, there are much worse problems for marriages than FB or the internet, but the Frum velt tries to ignore/suppress them. I.e. the shidduch system.

They post it for the same reason that others buy a bright red Ferrari. Who among us doesn't feel the urge to show off the deals we score and the trips we take?

I think the shidduch system works as well for participants that look for a spouse with maturity. Those who think the superficial facts are the important ones, or that pieces of paper can live happily ever after, may get in trouble.
