[Avodah] "Sometimes Chutzpah is Praiseworthy"

remotely  similar
to the case of an indulgent father who gives in to his kids' whining and
spoils them with toys and presents.

I totally agree with your above statement, but you gave a different  
example in your original post. And that was what I was responding to.  
My response merely said that I did not see what Miriam said to her  
parents as "chutzpah" in the example you gave. I think we both agree  
and the misunderstanding is semantic (and none of us is anti-semantic).
