OCD

שו”תOCD
asked 3 years ago

In one of the comments to the last column, you wrote that you suffered from OCD.
I wanted to ask if you were really diagnosed or was this just an example of the principle you wanted to say there?
(I already raised this question there in the comments, but since there was no response, I said maybe you didn’t see it, so I’m raising it again here).
I ask because it’s not clear to me how it’s possible for a logical and intelligent person like you to have thoughts that are of an OCD nature.
As someone who was also diagnosed and suffered from such stuck thoughts, I always felt that this could not happen to people with common sense and common sense, and perhaps this teaches me something. That is why I ask
thanks

I didn’t write this anywhere and I’ve never suffered from OCD.

This is not the rabbi, but someone who used his name in response to illustrate the falsehood of impersonation of all kinds.

I went over to look and was amazed. I thought maybe I forgot to add the word “if”. But now I remember that Nehemiah is right. Someone there did a trick (legitimate for the purposes of the discussion there) and used my name to demonstrate impersonation.

It's me, I was trying to demonstrate some kind of argument. Apologies for the incident…

Why is the impersonation legitimate here? I predicted this once and got away with it.

משה replied 3 years ago

So is it allowed to impersonate?

מיכי Staff replied 3 years ago

Here, the impersonation is intended to claim something on the merits. Still, it created confusion and is not recommended.
