a few points about ba’aley madrega.

A ba’al madrega doesn’t all of a sudden become frum when it comes to someone else’s degradation.

A ba’al medraga does the right thing for the right reasons and doesn’t promote his superiority.

A ba’al madrega has seichel and is not tzadick harbeh.

A ba’al madrega has a keen sense of when he can “break the rules.” The gemarah (kidushin 81b-82a)says ain mishtamshin b’isha klal, but lshem shamayim it is muttar. Moreover, the gemarah (nazir 23b) says that an aveirah lishmah is as great as a mitzvah shelo lishmah (which leads to lishmah).

I wish this world was filled with ba’aley madrega.
