The following is a Blog post that has been brought to our attention and we thought it would be a good point to bring up to our readers here at CrownHeights.info. The following post was written by a Blog called ‘ChaBlog’, readers are welcome to share their thoughts on the matter.Lubavitchers know how to argue. It’s just one of the things we’re good at. As politics rage around the world from Head Shluchim to High Schools, CrownHeights.info takes the cake. Don’t get the wrong idea; CrownHeights.info is a great news site. In just a few short years it grabbed Chabad viewers and now it’s more popular then the overrated Shmais. The content is usually good and it always has big bright pictures to go along with even the dullest articles.
My issue is not with the website, but the viewers. CrownHeights.info has a cool feature over the other chabad news sites by letting you post comments on anything. After observing these comments for a while it’s starting to get to me. On every news piece, picture, article, there is someone who has to write something stupid or senselessly negative and start an argument. Not just any arguments but heated ones where the commentators attack each other.
Op-Ed: Agree to Disagree. Please?
