Someone recently sent me a link to a shiur w/ an apology that he was sending me the shiur of another Rav, lest I be offended.
Another person related to me that she [a relative] heard the shiur of so and so and then apologized if I was offended that she listened to the other person and not me.
WOW!!!
If I would be offended at such things I would have to be in SERIOUS therapy. Like - "deal with your insecurities, dude" therapy.
I am not a Rav. Just a guy. I link my shiurim and am happy when people listen. I am also happy when people don't listen. In general I am happy [although like all other creatures I have things in life that cause me distress. I remind myself that nothing can "cause" me distress and it is all my personal narrative causing the distress. Pashut]. So listen or not, I am happy regardless. I have few negiyos on the matter b/c I don't get paid per listener. I don't get paid at all. Not for this. I am a Professor of Chinese Basket Weaving at the University of Narishkeit. That is how I support myself.
We all are on the same team. We all serve the רבונו של עולם. All I really want is that people should learn more Torah and waste less time. It doesn't matter whose Torah as long as it is Torah with Yiras Shomayim. So let's drop the ego thing.
Eg"o - "E'dge G'-d O'ut".
Just wanted to clarify.
