Not like that would help. As iwishiwerethin has made clear, everything in Pirkei Avot only applies if you're dealing with another frum yid. If they're not a frum yid they might as well be an idol worshipper or an animal. God and his Torah said so, apparently.
Yes, He did. You have an issue with G-d. Take it up with Him. Woodrow doesn't want Pruzh and Tikva to get married .

I call Poe's Law on this one. Really, a fundamentalist who thinks that their god believes that the 99.98% of humanity including 96% of Jews who are not fortunate enough to be born or indoctrinated into the ultra-Orthodox community deserves to be treated like an animal or idol worshipper? Must be a troll who wants to make Orthodox Judaism look bad and get people to go off the derech and intermarry.

Now... now... don't be adding your own interpretations. Where do you get "treated like an animal or idol worshipper?" Come to think of it, animals are to be treated kindly in the Torah.
Just for the record, Orthodox Judaism doesn't look bad. Ever. You all know that. You just need to act out your guilt somewhere. I'm happy to be your punching bag.
I looked at those two links and I still could not determine exactly what makes a web site kosher. Do you know of a web site an Orthodox Jew would consider to be kosher?

You know what I am talking about. I am talking about all the rules that Pirkei Avot prescribes about being a good person and treating other people well. You've made it clear when I and other posters point out that you are violating laws about ahavat yisrael (loving your fellow Jew) and against lashon hara (evil tongue / speech) that these laws only apply toward "Torah Jews".

Don't pull this "you all know that" when what you're saying isn't even close to being a fact. If it were, blogs like Failed Messiah, which publicize true stories about Orthodox tomfoolery, wouldn't exist.
I personally think non-Orthodox and open-minded Orthodox Jews should stop kowtowing to the ultra-Orthodox and invest the time and resources to be independent enough from them to cut them out of the Jewish family. Throw away your Artscroll books, don't buy Torah scrolls, mezuzot, and tefillin from sofrim (scribes) who are affiliated with rabbis who allow bochurim to throw stones at cars on Shabbat or who refuse to serve in the IDF, don't be a Reform rabbi who recommends a mohel who graduated from Ner Israel Rabbinical College for the bris of the son of a Reform convert! (I know the rabbi who did this)

Notice what it doesn't have. Plus before the internet this was a Yiddish only newspaper and it's advertisers were modest secular ads.
