On Taking the Moral High Ground

Background:
"How to Win Friends and Influence People"

See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_to_Win_Friends_and_Influence_People

How to hate the sin and still love or tolerate the sinner:

"Great minds discuss ideas;
average minds discuss events;
small minds discuss people"
Eleanor Roosevelt

My Pontification

We will never win the moral high ground
Using ad hominem attacks from the low road

Let's take the high road and present our vision of a better Judaism and leave the low road to the others

In the end, we'll attract an idealistic compassionate following.

I see this in the ideals of Rav Kook and the Besht. But I think it goes back to Beth Hillel being the kinder, gentler point of view.
