Does Anti-Frumteens mean Anti-Semitic?

FrumteensWatchWatch (a.k.a. Frumteens) considers me to be an “anti-Semitic” “rasha” (his words) for my strong criticism of Frumteens. Of course, my opinions are shared by many fine people in the Orthodox community (and even in the yeshivish community), including choshuve rabbonim and mechanchim. Even Rabbi Adlerstein, who wrote an article in Jewish Action praising the work that Frumteens seeks to accomplish with teen issues, has referred to its approach in hashkofic matters as “odious” and “repugnant.” The Frumteens moderator and his supporters must ask themselves, why is it that people who admire and respect Aish HaTorah, Ohr Someyach, Gateways, Partners in Torah, Torah U’Mesorah, etc., etc., have such negative opinions of Frumteens.

Like any true megalomaniac,he (ie,frumteens mod.) would consider his to be the only truth irrespective of other recognized great minds both before and after him. As a parent I view this as an opportunity to WATCH my children even more than before, guarding against yet another fiend (note,I said "fiend" not "friend")
among us.

thank you Mr. parent , if you disagree with the rabbi on frumteens , why dont you just explain to your child in what way particularly you disagree with the mod , instead of just making fun of the moderator from frumteens (which, btw wont get your kid to discredit him) why dont you say , well not rav moshe never said that , or no , the kotler rav didnt mean that, he meant this , and then your kid will get the picture , thats if you know what your talking about.

I would not let my kid to frumteens in the first place. It's full of hatred and lies. I don't care if he quote Gedolei Hador. His stupidity discredits it all. Every time I go to his site I just get more and more frusturated. I guess that's why I try to limit myself to visiting it any more.

Didn't you know you are never allowed not only not to criticize but to even ask questions about Jewish organizations or publications or leaders of any kind ever without being an anti-semite rasha? How dare you have a brain of your own.
