I don't preach you know that...
But just remember:
The Beis Hamikdosh was NOT destroyed, because some ate strawberry's that may have contained bugs.
It was not destroyed because 'she' down the road wore a slit in her denim skirt and wasn't wearng 100 denier tights.
Nor was it destroyed because your daughters best friend in school oldest sister, made her own shidduch.
Would you believe it wasn't even destroyed because people inter married.
No
It was destroyed because,when you saw them eating strawberrys you told your wife, and deemed them unsuitable company.
It was destroyed because someone sent out paskevilin telling the whole town about 'her' down the road, with her name and address in bold across it.
We lost the Beish Hamakdosh because you told your daughter she may not go to that friends house any more.
It was destroyed because of Loshen Horah, the way we talk about people, and rumors we spread.
Remember that, and have an easy fast!

You might not preach but you most definitely dont help the issue of sinas chinam thanks to ur constant cynism and entirely negative comments regarding Stamford Hill and its residents.
