How to tell if you are, or are not, a "Korach Blogger"


On Facebook, a friend of mine is recognizing Parshas Korach by re-posting Avi Shafran's famous post in which he says bloggers are Korach.

I think this is a wonderful practice, and I am duplicating it here in the hopes that it catches on.
Korach@ blogspot.com
By Avi Shafran, on June 26th, 2012 
Sneering cynicism. Self-glorification in the guise of advocacy. Ostentatious observance cloaking rank jealousy. “Democracy” in the pursuit of evil ends. Haughtiness pretending to the selfless pursuit of justice and truth. 
What do all those things bring to mind? 
A) The parsha we read on Shabbos.
B) Much of the “Orthodox Jewish” blogosphere. 
Both, you say? You win.  > read the rest
What's that you say? Avi Shafran now has a blog of his own? And not only that, but you say that  for years and years Avi has published articles that consist of "anger, snideness, half-truths, and bald lies attract like-minded people like rancid meat draws flies?"  Well, yes, all true, but that's totally and completely different as anyone with an ounce of yiras shamayim would understand.

I shouldn't have to go to the bother of explaining this to you, but here goes:

Avi, who committed the bulk of his crimes in print, is perhaps a Korach JOURNALIST, and certainly not a Korach BLOGGER. Using bald faced lies and rancid meat writing like Avi has in print for decades is totally kosher. That's Journalism, see, not Blogging. I am guessing that a web site with no comments, like the one Avi currently runs, is also journalism, not blogging.

Moreover, the targets of his Korach Journalism are targets that God himself would choose. We know this because Avi chose them and is it possible that Avi and God wouldn't be on the same page? Come on! You should go and lobotomize the brain that was capable of such a thought!

Look, here's an easy way to tell the difference: If you attack Agudah or Agudah positions you are Korach! Plain and simple and not even a little bit convenient. This is doubly true if your attack permits reader comments. 

However, if you attack anything else, specifically the things Avi attacks, and especially if you don't allow comments, then you are a Righteous and Pure Individual of Superfluous Holiness

First off I want to say terrific blog! I had a quick question which I'd like to ask if you do not mind. I was curious to know how you center yourself and clear your mind prior to writing. I've had trouble
clearing my mind in getting my thoughts out. I do enjoy writing
but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes tend to be wasted just trying to figure out how to begin.
Any suggestions or tips? Many thanks!
