KWRBT,
I do not talk for edu,
Mmm hmm. My reply comes with theme music. Please before reading what follows, click the following and play in the background:
Now, here we go ! I present you, ladies and gentlemen, the amazing Muman!
I simply agreed with edu in saying that
I don't think edu, nor myself, ever implied that the Rabbis opinion is not to be taken.
I just felt your response to edu was a bit harsh
And to respond like that to edus seemingly reasonable question seems to be out of line.
I side with edu
And yet, when I merely made reference to the fact that you spoke on behalf of edu (which obviously, as shown, happened about 500 times in this thread - and there is nothing wrong with that, anyone is entitled to speak on behalf of whomever they want) I get a "Muman the Magnificent Rebuke" as follows:
I do not talk for edu and I really begin to wonder whether you are really motivated by the desire to learn and teach, or just quibble about things. I will not allow you to say that I spoke for edu, as I clearly was speaking for myself.
What the he//?
You are like houdini but instead of handcuffs you use a keyboard. You are muman the amazing crescan with an intel processor.
Oh but wait, there's more!
I did first join this discussion because I felt your response to edu was uncalled for.
And thus you spoke on behalf of him or on behalf of what you thought his point of view was. That isn't an accusation, that's a fact. Is there something sinister about that? To speak on someone else's behalf - is that some kind of grave accusation to make against someone to say they spoke on someone's behalf and you felt your reputation was impugned by me referring to this ? I am honestly at a loss to understand what you are taking offense to.
My reason for this is because while Rabbi Abadi may be a great Halachic source, as I mentioned the Talmud and many other sources say that the majority of the Rabbis decide the law.
Yeah because Rabbi Abadi doesn't follow the Talmud, right?

Repeating a mistake already corrected by multiple people in this thread.
If you keep by a particular Rabbi I can understand taking some personal insult from such a statement, but I believe you brought up the 'Jewish pope' idea which goes fully along with my point. Through Responsa and written arguments by the poseks, the matter will be decided.
I'm a hamster on a treadmill when I try to read and comprehend what you just wrote in this passage. Just going around and around in a circle but I'm not getting anywhere with it. I don't know what you are saying or how it's related to anything in the thread.
edu brings several good questions about this process, and it would be beneficial to hear the answer to them.
I JUST SAID THAT! Don't believe me?
Here, I'll quote myself:
Your questions are interesting, and I would also like to know Rabbi Abadi's answers to those questions about this process. I would learn a great deal about the production of a Sefer Torah by finding that information out. I would never have any problem with that sort of inquiry. There is no reason to have a problem with it.
So how can you be arguing against me and at the same time repeating what I said practically word for word? Is it that you just can't stand the sight of me or Tag or anyone who agrees with Rav Bar Hayim or any rabbi that points out the flaws with Meshichist chabadniks and chabad rabbis? And so, you "quibble" with us? to use your choice of language. I purposely chose your word there because I believe you are projecting your own actions onto others by making these allegations of yours.
