@DoubleAA I'm with @ShmuelBrin on that one.

@yEz I agree.

I may be back in a month. I need a break from some of the people on this site.

@yEz I'm very sorry to hear that. I hope you'll change your mind.

@yEz I maintain that @DoubleAA and I are correct that this question is missing something important, in that it doesn't explicitly motivate itself. It is reasonable to expect an "is this forbdden" question to explain why the author is - and anyone else should be - curious about why this particular thing is forbidden. His editing into the question of what you stated in the comments was also reasonable, as such edits are the purpose of such discussions in the comments. ...

... You'd provided some motivation for your question, and some is better than none. Better still, however, would be digging into your intuition a little bit more so that you could explain it in terms that relate directly to the subject at hand and that could be processed at least somewhat objectively by someone else. For example: "Scaring people just feels problematic to me, since it's something that people usually don't like." or "I've always hated it when people scare me."

@yEz Just curious: How did you find all of those?

^ Thoughts?

cc @DoubleAA, whom I didn't ping in that comment.

@msh210 FTR, I was unaware of the question that this one now links to when I wrote my comment.

@IsaacMoses Ah. Pardon me.

@msh210 Done

@IsaacMoses :-) Do you now think it's a duplicate?

@msh210 I do not think it's a duplicate. I do think it's possibly based on an incorrect premise, and that the linked Q&A supports that objection.

@IsaacMoses I think the present question itself supports the objection, if the premise you're referring to is that tircha is defined in terms of time.

@msh210 ein hachi nami

@IsaacMoses ... which makes it a poor question; the most reasonably fix IMO would be to acknowledge the implication (that the definition isn't in terms of time) and remove discussion of time from the question -- but that'd make it a duplicate.

@msh210 I think that the fix you're proposing is what I was suggesting, and I agree that that'd make it a dupe.

@IsaacMoses Would you mind checking the VLQ queue and letting me know what post appears?

@msh210 ... I think that the previous question could probably use more authoritative and precise answers, FWIW.

@IsaacMoses I agree completely.

@msh210 this one? Empty right now

@IsaacMoses Thanks.

@msh210 The link in this comment, transplanted via embedding into this context, is broken. No big deal, but worth keeping in mind in cases when you're not bumping up against the character limit.

@IsaacMoses Good point; thanks.

@IsaacMoses, all, tzt.
