[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP, you are wrong.  I was the first to post on page one.  Go back and read it.  Then come back and try to tell me that was not an attempt to explain in good faith.  [/quote]

Also read 9:36, 9:40, 10:33, 11:01, 15:30, 15:44, 15:49 from yesterday.  All of these were good faith attempts to explain or to address questions and misconceptions.  So once again you are being disingenuous, not to mention untruthful.[/quote]

Oy. Yes I recognize that they were meant well. Good faith isn't exactly the right term and I probably shouldn't have used it.  Earlier posts may have meant well but they did not describe the events to the point that I, as a Jew, felt like I understood how these events are or aren't similar to what I do. So I asked for more info.

Remember I am not OP, please. I came at this thread when it was already several vitriolic pages long. The tone had turned a corner by the middle of page 1, due in part to OP's use of language. It took and is taking a lot of effort to ignore the noise and find the signal.  I had seen a few answers to the question that were attempting to be above board (the ones you mention) but they were still responding specifically to OP and her tone, and OPs questions are different from the ones I had.

I recognize that saying "As a consequence, these Seders are conducted with the utmost respect" may be said in good faith. But it's not actually an answer that gives me any information.  That's not a dis of your intent, how could you know what I want to know if we don't have a conversation?  Hearing that they are not widely advertised, that they aren't "seders" in the modern sense but make symbolic attempts to get closer to the historical experience, and that they aren't even that common tells me more about the practice than any number of well-intentioned assertions about respect.

Still think I'm disingenuous and untruthful? If so, I give up.[/quote]
