@msh210 Are you planning on deleting all non-followable comment threads with Vram? I don't think that's a good idea as, while frustrating, I often find what to gain in the half conversation that is left.
A more worthwhile endeavor IMO is editing all references to vram, l' and eyes to Baal Shemot Tovot so that the threads where he is around are fully readable. I recognize that is a lot of work.
@ShmuelBrin Oh; sorry. I didn't think to click on your back arrow on your first comment, and I therefore didn't realize at first what you were referring to. I haven't interacted with the Islam mods at all, so I don't know, but it seems clear that the sense of the community is generally not with this user. You could always try flagging and see what happens.
@DoubleAA I don't plan to delete all non-followable comment threads with Vram, no. I do plan to delete such threads as I come across (or see because they're flagged) where the remaining comments are unintelligible without the missing ones. Objections, anyone?
I believe that we should try get our programmer friends at StackExchange HQ to program Mi.Yodeya into giving users extra reputation for asking and answering questions that fall into the Weekly Topic Challenge categories.

^^^I don't yet have permission to create tag synonyms, but could someone please propose that nachmanides and ramban be made synonymous, the same way that maimonides and rambam currently are?
@AdamMosheh As far as I can tell from reading the verses, he was a only a hired thug. But there are certainly midrashim that indicate he sought them harm of his own accord also.
@AdamMosheh the sidra ends after 25:9. The story it's in the middle of goes from 25:1 to 25:19=26:1.
@AdamMosheh The verse I quoted ("Vay'hi...") is 25:19=26:1.
...which connects directly both to what's before it & to what's after it. So the sidra break should have been before 25, I would have thought.
Now, of course there' s midrash (Rashi 25:1 cites it from the g'mara) that connects 25 to 24. Still, though, it seems better to break before 25 to keep the topics of 25 in one place.
@AdamMosheh That just redirects to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arch-nemesis - why didn't you just link to the latter? Anyway, that defines it as "principal enemy", but that doesn't really help me.
@AdamMosheh When you click the arrow at the lower-right corner of my post, it inserts ":[the number of my post] " at the start of yours. So I simply inserted ":[the number of my post] " at the start of mine and voilà!
