Uri, you're not coherent. Get some sleep and write me in the morning.

Please delete your post before you get thrown out of here again.

No way............

No way what?
That I slipped and might have fallen?
I'm not G-d, you know!

By the way, I haven't heard from Guard yet.
So, we're all in suspense whether I continue counting today or if it's over...

Hey, I can't see the women's forum anymore!

Did we just turn mehadrin?

Does this mean women can't post on men's threads too?

No more chizuk from the ladies?

Can't we vote on this?

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Am I considered a lady?

No clue why you cant see the female side. its a system glitch, not a policy!
Dont panic Momo!

Seems i was wrong.

"No way" because I'm feeling your pain right now, fall or not, and I wish there was something I could do to make it better for you.
And yes, the frum kanoi mafia won again.
And btw, I'm a supporter even though I had nothing to do with it.
It bothered me from day 1, I just didn't say anything because it wasn't my problem or my business.

More like the Satan won, and so we had no choice.

BTW, Momo told me what happened and it wasn't a fall at all.

Keep on Trucking, Momo. We love you!

Guard, please explain or if this was written about somewhere else, can someone please write the link here? Thanks in advance.

What do you mean you had no choice? Just because somebody complained. Let him not visit the women's side!

Forget it. I found it, in the announcements.  >

Thanks KG, but I feel no pain. Really, I'm happy, see:  

I'm glad I still have the opportunity to raise money for GYE.

Momo - I'm glad you're still on track. But even if you weren't, it would not have lessened my respect for you one bit. You're amazing, and we're not in this for the short-term - we're here for a long, long battle, and I know that I'd put my bets on you any day, and never regret it.

You'll always be a winner.

Thank you, that means a lot.

I was speaking with Rav S today, and the topic of the Kumsitzim came up. He said that while the kumsitzim is nice because it lets us meet new people who understand us, it may stop us from posting with complete honesty since we'll be embarrassed once we meet some of the people. So what you wrote now sort of counters some of the shame I would have felt had I "fallen".

I'm glad. Whenever we do an aveirah, we feel a certain amount of shame, it's true. Especially in this area. And when other people know who you are, it does become embarrassing - but please remember that we all know that you are a holy warrior.

That's not just a catch-phrase, or a feel-good line. It's true in the deepest sense of the word. When we say that a tzaddik falls 7 times and continues to get, it's not just a pop-culture line to assuage people's guilt - it's a line from Mishlei.

We all feel that way, and we respect you for who you are and what you've done - and to quote 7up, if you'd fall, we'd be disappointed with you - along with you; not at you. And we'd cheer you on as you rose again.

And that's how I know you're a true tzaddik - because while I have confidence in your ability to succeed and grow, there's also no doubt in my mind that even if you would fall, you'd get right back up.

And that's part of why I'm so proud to call you a brother and a friend.
