Just because I view the parsha as being written in the style of a folk tale does not mean I respect it any less as words of Torah. When we reach verses of poetry in the Torah, do we sit there sipping tea in shul as if we are at a poetry reading in a coffeehouse? If I were telling the tale to children in my own words then yes, I might include voices, but the Torah itself deserves respect, no matter what its literary style, especially when being read in front of the congregation.
And I am wondering whether perhaps that anonymous comment on FS's blog wasn't you, asserting your right to corrupt her younger sisters. And you are correct. As the owner of this blog, I have the right to delete your comments. I also have the right to block anonymous comments, or comments from people who are not on my friendslist. I would rather not have to do that. I like to let people say what they want and generate discussions, and I don't like to censor people. I will, however, begin to delete comments if I deem it necessary. As such, please try a) to stay on-topic. The small print belongs on your blog, not on mine, and b) to refrain from pointless silliness. You do not need to find something to say on every single thing I post, especially if you have nothing of substance to say. (And no, "woof, woof" is not generally considered a thing of substance.)
