Pre-Pesach Pondering IV

[gnomi]

Is it just me, or are the usual suspects more meikil (lenient) than they've been in years past?

Not that I'm complaining or anything -- "Find the Kosher for Passover Hand Soap" has never been a favorite game of mine -- I'm just noting what seems to be a shift across the boards.

I'll still make fun of you for it, though. :)

Doing so will get you banned from commenting here -- my journal is a place for open religious discussion. Making fun of people for their religious beliefs, whatever they are, is not permitted.

I can't make up my mind if this is sadly humorless, an ironic comment, or what.

I can't make up my mind if this is sadly humorless, an ironic comment, or what.

It is none of the above. It is me simply stating my choice not to be "[made] fun of" in my own journal. I banned another LJ user this morning for a comment that I deemed offensive to observant people (and, honestly, non-observant people) of any religion. This is my policy, and I apply it across the boards.

This is not to say I do not allow debate here, even debate that takes a tone I do not like. See previous Pesach Preparation posts for examples of such debates/discussions.

The people who read my journal vary widely in beliefs and practices, Jewish and non-Jewish. I do not want them or anyone else to think that they will be ridiculed for anything they say here.
