As the custodian of my alma mater has said “its not gaava if its true.”
As far as the soft-spoken popa is concerned, it sometimes comes out a little harsher when the truth hits you in the face. Perhaps we are a little quick to attack people be they principals trying to instill the middah of tznius or be they soft-spoken people who try to give you hadracha.
It appears popa bar abba is the modern day zecharia. I suppose zecharia would still be alive had he only blogged his tochacha. and zecharia wasnt even your daughter.
