...lately here in Brooklyn.

There's a big controversy regarding a woman who left the Satmar sect and wrote a book about her experiences. You think the war on women is bad out there in "America," the things they are saying about this young woman are horrendous.

Here's the book in question. Be sure to look through the comments, to see what the Satmar community has to say about this woman. Or better yet, don't.

Out of deference to the Hasidic community, you should edit your title. laconicsax Mar 2012 #14

It's not my title, it's the paper's. rug Mar 2012 #17

And you're powerless over what you post, I take it. n/t laconicsax Mar 2012 #19

You said it was my title. rug Mar 2012 #20

Ah, so you really are unable to control what you post. laconicsax Mar 2012 #21

Apparently you just can't help yourself. rug Mar 2012 #22

Look, if you're unwilling to change the title of your post, that's one thing. laconicsax Mar 2012 #23

And it's another thing entirely to pretend you have any deference to Hasidic sensitivities. rug Mar 2012 #24

Are you questioning my motives? laconicsax Mar 2012 #25

I'm identifying them. rug Mar 2012 #26

Prolific record to the contrary? That's a false allegation if I've ever seen one. laconicsax Mar 2012 #29

See, here's your posting technique: rug Mar 2012 #30

Yes, what you're saying is truly bizarre. laconicsax Mar 2012 #31

I doubt anyone reading this subthread you started will fail to see the why and how of your attempt. rug Mar 2012 #32
