ok so now we know how everyone else would react to this, the question now is how would trs and yossi react, and which of the principles of the vaad do they actually believe in?
We, the real Va'ad Shmiras Hadas Vhatarah, have made our own blog to set the record straight and put an end to the identity theft that has occured. http://therealvaadshmirashadasvhatarah.blogspot.com/
I agree with most of the va'ad shmiras hadas vhatarah's platform, except for the harshly sexist views about women. I don't mind if they have blogs. But the va'ad is right about tznius halachas applying online, as well as the real world. and I certainly would have closed my blog if I was being blackmailed. Blogging is not that important. Maybe the idea, of freedom of speech and so on, but I'd get over it fast

I knew it the whole time!!
I get the feeling the threats are going to turn very serious now.
All those pitchforks bloggers were gathering for your defense? They can't be left unused, can they?
yeah, i think you guys should be watching your backs...
I am cursing you out right now.
Ok, this is the third post that I gotta comment on regarding the recent turn of events. I ran out of comments, but writing "subscribing" is so 2009.
I got a real comment now:
I'm very impressed by the tznius committee's writing. It didn't sound like either of you.
GRRRRRRRRR!!! I spent homework time on you people!
Nu, wouldn't be the first time.
i just want to say that i already complimented trss' sense of humour right in the beginning and therefore i dont need to now :)
Modeh: Better us than ice dancing.
Dowy: Of course.
ok so now we know how everyone else would react to this, the question now is how would trs and yossi react, and which of the principles of the vaad do they actually believe in?
How would we react if it was real?
I can only speak for myself, but I believe in everything the committee espoused.
Then why aren't you acting on it? Where are your metascruples, young man?
Including blackmail?
We, the real Va'ad Shmiras Hadas Vhatarah, have made our own blog to set the record straight and put an end to the identity theft that has occured.
http://therealvaadshmirashadasvhatarah.blogspot.com/
e: Who said I even had any metascruples?
Sara: Certainly.
I agree with most of the va'ad shmiras hadas vhatarah's platform, except for the harshly sexist views about women. I don't mind if they have blogs.
But the va'ad is right about tznius halachas applying online, as well as the real world.
and I certainly would have closed my blog if I was being blackmailed. Blogging is not that important.
Maybe the idea, of freedom of speech and so on, but I'd get over it fast
TRS: without any metascruples, it doesn't mean anything to agree with the Vaad?
(pardon the misplaced question mark.)
Yossi: really? I'd laugh at anyone.
e: this is possible.
I just saw your hero, Lipa. He sang a song from Lion King with Jew words inserted. Pretty good, I must say.
You just saw this now?
Well, an hour ago perhaps. At nightlife, he popped in for a wee bit.
Oh really? Very nice, very nice. He was also quite good at OT tonight.
Aha, aha, charming, yes, very nice.
ur a celeb!

OMG! I can die happy now...
trs: Were you awake crazy early or crazy late?
The time stamp is an hour off, but I woke at 3:59 and went back to sleep a bit later.
That still doesn't sound like a good sleep cycle.
Recall what night I wrote that...
After almost a week without any new posts, the committee has begun to miss this weblog. Guess it's not so bad to have a weblog...
Sometimes you get what you wished for, and you realize that you didn't realize that what you were wishing for wasn't exactly what you wished for.
are you beginning to discover the joys of talking to yourself?
Obviously you didn't fully appreciate what I was saying.
TRSHV said that having his wishes fulfilled made him modify his wishes.
TRS noted that this phenomenon is not specific to TRSHV's wishes.
Did I miss something?
You are implying that TRSHV and TRS are one and the same, which is a patently untrue assertion.
Is it?
Ever wonder how TRSHV knows so much about TRS?
It's fairly obvious that the only other blogger to have posted on TRVSHV is in fact TRVSHV.
but it clearly says e also posted on trvshv, the post about picking nits
That is exactly my point. Dovid's name may be up there, but we all know who the real power is...
with our Father in Heaven
the whole Father in Heaven thing confirms TRS=TRVSHV
Oh please, that's such an obvious tip-off that it's not me. That phrase is so associated with me that I would never use it- it's like Israel being blamed for the Dubai killing. It's so obviously not them, precisely because it looks so much like them.
Exactly what they/you want you/us to believe. It's quite ingenious.
I agree with trs about trvshv, but disagree about Israel. I think they tried framing themselves, to make it look like they were framed, as dovid believes about trvshv.
aha! TRVSHV=Yossi+TRS
but I just said that I agree with your line of reasoning regarding framing, for Israel, not for trvshv
Precisely my dear Yossi
I think dovid is just disappointed that no one is congratulating him on his brilliant performace as TRVSHV.
I think dovid is just disappointed that no one is congratulating him on his brilliant performace as TRVSHV.
Why thats exactly what I'd expect the real TRVSHV to say.
...but maybe just a little
ok, ok, maybe a lot
Hey, e should have accused you of talking to yourself, not me!
talking to myself or talking about myself?
Both, I imagine.

If that's not an admission of guilt, then I don't know what is.
yes your honor?
but at least I didn't do a hiskashrus tantz for TSR!
Neither did I, but that's another story.
Perhaps one day you can share with us your side of what happened that day in Kiryas Joel.
Perhaps one day.
