<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">in relation to an off-list discussion
where this expression was used about an O rabbi who espouses a doctrine
that many other O rabbis would consider foolish but not neccesarilly heretical,
i wonder if there are parameters for the use of this expression about
jews, frum or not.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">eg does it apply to Ben Gurion?
all non-Orthodox rabbis? Rabbi Slifkin? the heads of Meshichism?
one side of a Rebbe succesion dispute about the other?</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">i guess i'm asking if this is a term
that should be thrown around lightly, and if there are codified limits...<br>
