It struck me as odd too because I don’t think of a rabbi as a “minister” but it was very clear that the OP meant “member of the clergy” and I moved on. It was unimportant to the thread which has become very interesting. Here’s a thread where Whacky was modded for threadshitting and he said that he wasn’t because he defines threadshitting in a different way than the rules here do for over twenty years. > [@What is "threadshitting" v.2?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-is-threadshitting-v-2/929362/66): > > By your argument the only person to say slavery should be stopped in some southern state in the 1700s was wrong because they were the only person saying it. BS on the face of it. I know the SDMB can do as it pleases. If it wants to cling to an 18-year-old definition because “reasons” then fine. But don’t pretend it makes any sense. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-were-you-thinking/991532)._
