re: #1 Rightwingconspirator

Hah. Excellent run down.

Proof was in the pudding. If a major rabbi were to come out and say suddenly that he was withdrawing from a yeshiva because they kept insisting that pig was not kosher, there are really only three possibilities.

They are, G-d forbid:

1. His family were held hostage and he was being black-mailed.
2. He went crazy.
3. He sold out.

I don’t know which is worse in that hypothetical case. But in the case of Ivar, it is apparent that he sold out, and it is just as terrible.
