If the Rabbi is answering briefly anyway, maybe it would be better to use fewer words, and instead of the answer “no,” simply make do with the letter N?

Amir, I’m one of the people who asked one of the last two questions, and I wish for you and all the commenters on this site to be like dust under my feet when it comes to level of understanding and response.

I retract what I said about all the commenters on the site. And in general, responding arrogantly goes against my nature, and I really can’t stand it. It’s tolerable when it’s funny and you respond in kind, but here it already went too far. You forced me to respond like that, Amir. Who are you anyway to judge? Understanding you don’t have, but judgment you do — how does that work?

To the honored all-inclusive sage, radiant with revealed light, whose name is known in Israel, being as humble as Hillel, and for whom one cannot finish singing praise, the eminent master Aleph, may his light shine forth and gleam, blossom and bear flower.

After inquiring after his welfare, fresh as a watered garden, may God also give what is good, and let our land yield its produce, with slight and dim understanding before his great splendor.

And I, the young and tiny one, of all the people of the city, come to make a necessary remark: for although humility is a proper trait, good and trustworthy, it also has a dangerous side.

For a question was asked before the local authority about cannibalism according to the Torah, and his answer was clear, bright as the law of the Torah, by the power of leniency, and his word was stated: “each man swallowed his fellow alive”; “the humble shall eat and be satisfied.”

And from now on every praised humble person should worry lest he be eaten, and be brought like a sheep to slaughter, roasted and cooked, salted and seasoned, swallowed and digested, in the mouth of every cannibal.

And therefore the reasoning is close at hand that the trait of arrogance is better than the trait of humility, to save one from flame and from being swallowed by creatures of appetite. Great indeed is the good of the arrogant man, both in this world and the next. Let him be exalted and lofty.

With abundant blessing, to the great man, a golden chain of lineage, our master, the great teacher.

Truly, arrogance really doesn’t speak to me. In my day-to-day life it doesn’t come out like it sometimes does here in writing. But following the verse, “With the merciful You show Yourself merciful; with the blameless man You show Yourself blameless; with the pure You show Yourself pure; and with the crooked You show Yourself twisted” [Psalms 18:26–27], I adapt myself to the atmosphere. And you should know that the way your surroundings respond to you always reflects something back to you about yourself. Here I was hinting to the owner of the site.

In my opinion, someone who has established himself as a troll should get a warning, and if he continues he should be blocked completely, so there would be no need to weigh each of his comments individually.

The site is enlightening, fascinating, productive (and even a bit elitist), and it would be a shame for its level to deteriorate.
