Petition: Should Dan Please Share The Story Of The Stolen Points Or Not?

[ilherman]

The story is typed up. I was going to post it on DDMS but it was written in the heat of the moment and it's a pretty rambling and confusing post.

We wanna see the story as it was written originally... At least here on DDF.

[meshugener]

That was another dillemma.
Chillul hashem vs. helping people realize there are sick frum people out there.

Now I'm serious.
The answer to that is simple: how would you describe him had he been African-American?

Answer that to yourself and make your own decision.



Chilul hashem aside, categorizing a bad person by which community he belongs in or color of skin he has is just wrong.

[Dan]

May be wrong but it will always happen.

[TimT]

The ones written in the heat of the moment are always the best ones.

[churnbabychurn]

Is "frum" relevant to the story? Only if you trusted someone you shouldn't have... Otherwise just leave it out.

Actually, Mesugener, I disagree. Categorizing someone by race or nationality or ethnicity in connection with their middos ra'os is "wrong" because those things have nothing to do with the person's free choice. They were just born that race or nationality or ethnicity, whereas their morals are their own choice. (Hakol bidei shamyaim chutz m'yiras shamayim.)

Categorizing someone as "frum" however is a description of their purported beliefs and morals. No comparison.

... But often contain lashon hara.

Would you consider him frum? Do you think he has a large amount of yiras shomayim?

If written right it can be an opportunity to protect the frum world from those who make as if they are.

There's another side to the story. Because of Dan's not posting a deal quickly last year, I missed a chance to fly to Israel cheap, and had to instead use a lot of points. So he OWED me those points.

HTH.

That, or because he did post it quickly so it died quickly?

[Moshe123]

Dan, please post about it. I somehow skipped that thread and didn't see anything earlier.

אמרה ומהאי קרא אמרה. כי ישרים דרכי ה צדיקים ילכו בם ורשעים יכשלו בם

[A3]

Why don't we just hack Dans computer... We can just see it for ourselves.

[EMCC]

Great thread. I think he should post it but leave out the "frum" part and just say that it was someone he thought he could trust.

[Moshe123]

Should I make new thread for volunteers to conduct a משכנתא on the perp?

[A3]

They are Frum but not religious.

How about a פולסא דנורא?

[Freddie]

How about a פולסא דנורא?

Cool! I've always wanted to see one of those!

[zale]

Dan, can you also tell the story about the Frum guy who cleared out the mini bar?

Dr. Moose, can you provide the link to Dan's comment where he was first meramez to the story about the frum guy who cleared out the mini bar?
