Think of it as a synonym for "hush".

All of us have complex legacies. The fact that Rabbi Friedman wrote something utterly abhorrent does not mean that everything else he has written or said is baseless. However, for me what he wrote, 15 years ago, was so toxic that I won't touch his other works. I had forgotten how great the furor...

I am familiar with the rabbi. I read something he wrote years ago that so was so horrid that I haven't had the stomach to watch, read or listen to anything from him since. I've been looking for my copy of the magazine, it's several years old, with the piece because I want to quote him exactly...

I have on long auto trips.

Shh!

@talib-al-kalim - You’ve posed a question to someone absent from the forum for over 12 years.

I understand the reasoning for the move. Nevertheless, I believe that a 20 minute after initial posting time frame to edit a post is unrealistically short.

This thread having been posted in the Christianity subsection, it might be appropriate for me to withdraw from the discussion here, with apologies if I have overstepped boundary lines.

@moralorel - Offer rescinded.

I have yet to find an issue that would make me a one issue voter. Maybe the day will come that such an issue will present itself, but that day has not come. Would you mind if I ask you a question about your position?

Could I interest you in a bridge in Brooklyn? I can give you a really good deal.
