I'm not an expert on anything. I try to get my facts straight, but I may not have all the facts, and any conclusions I draw are questionable.~~Preaching on virtues I may not have.~~The late paytan John Hartford wrote, "All I am is a hole in the air / Surrounded all around with teeth and hair." He was indeed a mere hole in the air surrounded all around with teeth and hair and created in God's image. As are you and I, my friend. As are you and I.
Intellectual engagement entails reciprocity of exposure. To criticize others behind a shield of anonymity is to my thinking craven and unworthy of a scholar or talmid hakham.
