Very good.

Meanwhile, the pace of banning at RJ is now dizzying. There was a time when they were rare events. I think there have been four in the last week. His skin has gotten very thin. He must be molting.

The truth is, although I once didn't like the personal attacks on Slifkin, the more I read from him, the more I see what a truly vile character he is.

He covers it up well with a British veneer of politeness, but anyone who knows what that veneer can cover up should not be impressed with it. A viper's nest of hate, lies, and filth lies beneath his smiley face.

He may have started out as a misguided soul, he may have begun his career as just another tipesh, but by now he is a full-fledged aaron choriner. He doesn't make mistakes, he lies openly.

Congratulations, you have now discovered why most movie villains are British (sorry all other British people reading this, including test!)

He is a hater of Hashem (as Rabbenu Yonah defines it), after all.

What about YOU with YOUR single minded obsession with the doctor. You dedicate time and effort writing this stuff. Do you really believe you will actually change anybody? You are making the same mistake as you allege he makes.

But self-perception is not strong in the chareidi world. The constant diet, from cheider onwards, of how superior chareidim generally are puts any self-perception to bed. You (or joyous mercharker whoever, I can’t keep track) wouldn't even accept that chareidi rioting, infighting and COVID breaking broadcast worldwide via the internet puts torah u'mitzvos in a very poor light.
