Can you please provide me with your understanding of the halacha so you can establish the normative law and tell me what is, definitvely, the "wrong" thing in this case?
It is sad that you think that not having a particular title absolves you from proper practice.I’m just a simple congregant, so I can do whatever I want
OK. That isn't my understanding of Halacha nor have you brought any sources to show that your understanding is anything but whimsical, making your behavior baseless.
And is this proper practice a result of your not having the title of rabbi? Can you show me in the teachings of these denominations that one can "do whatever he wants" if he is only a "simple congregant"? Do these denominations establish the rule that only titled clergy are bound by rules?
Here is something that @Jake1001 may find interesting and which might lead to a more nuanced conversation.
Thanks for that -- I notice, though, that that discussion doesn't even mention whether the letters appearing on a computer screen exist enough to be erased when they scroll off. There was an artcile in teh Journal of Halacha and Contemporary Society years ago about files on a disk and it mentioned the screen but not ini depth.
Exactly -- I have seen shuls do that so I'm trying to figure out if/when the inextricable connection was assumed. I can't ask a question on EK alone if it is never alone.
If you scroll back, you will see that I wrote, "I think the Kitzur says it is but others (IIRC) say otherwise". In other words, the normative practice is still up in the air, with authorities on both sides. Unless you have some sort of access to a definitive pronouncement, or a reason that you have decided that one side is more persuasive than the other, I have to wonder what motivates your behavior and request.
What standard? And why would I have any interest in meeting your expectations about anything?
If you think this then you don't understand the halachic process or what the issues are here. If you can't discuss the issues, then there is nothing left to discuss. Let me know when you learn a little and have a grounded opinion on the underlying considerations which would drive a decision.
no. I asked a Rabbi many years ago how to deal with the 4 letter name if it was painted as graffiti on the ground.
So your process doesn't involve any actual research or independent thought. But if mine does, and leads me to a different conclusion somehow that doesn't live up to some phantom expectation of yours. Got it.
It appears you have no idea what the argument is about and would rather criticize a person than consider the facts.
I don't know why you would follow someone you say is demented, but if that works for you, have at it.
I don't think you do as you have said "The issue is respect for G-d, not electronics, permanence, etc., I think" but the halachic argument centers around the definition of those terms and their iteration in the real world. As to what you impute as my recommendation, I don't know where you get that. I was the one specifically objecting to that while you said that you blindly follow your (demented) rabbi. You seem to be more lost than I thought.
