very interesting. rabbi krohn wants to ban the comments sections in vos iz nais (i know i spelled that wrong) because they may be lashon hara. oh and most probably because he doesn't agree with them.
what i most have a problem with is how he thinks he will put bloggers in charem when according to him no one should be blogging or reading blogs anyway so how would anyone know who the bloggers were to begin with to ban them? the other thing is that this kind of threat only has power if the person you are threatening respects the people banning them. personally i think that all these rabbis should forget about banning the internet and live exemplary lives and show how beautiful living a torah life is without having to badmouth technology. the strength of the torah and a torah true life should be speak for itself.
anyway i think that its quite funny that all these rabbis dislike the discussion about judaism that occurs on blogs. judaism is all about discussion , especially in halacha. there are lots of opinions and then there is what the halachah is . discussion about what is right and wrong about judaism is so integral . this is what separates us from the goyim. the fact that we CAN ask questions proves how true the torah is.

...and how false modern charedism is. Thats the flip side of that coin
Btw can you add a "name/url" choice to the comment login? I usually cant login with my wordpress or openid for some reason. It keeps refreshing an error when I try it.
