Are there parameters with which to determine someone's status in this area? An incomplete tzaddik would would hear the phone but not interrupt his davening. Did the sages consider it a sin to work for someone you knew was a thief or mistreated their customers, possibly cheated them?
Arguably, uttering a rasha's name when you summon a dog is tantamount to a curse, because you are essentially calling that person a dog An incomplete rasha would stop and contemplate, but maybe the person on the phone is a doctor However, is this a deprecation of the dog?
A learned friend of mine is of the opinion that it is forbidden to learn from a rabbi (or anyone else) who is known to have sinned He used the example of a particular rabbi caught in a scandal so The Ritva (in his commentary on the Haggada, based on Yerushalmi Pesachim 10:4) sees the rasha as complaining about how the entire seder ceremony is interrupting his enjoyment of yom tov, and that he's only concerned with eating. Therefore, "blunting his teeth" is a rebuke to the rasha 's gluttony: פירשו בירושלמי: מה הטורח הזה שאתם מטריחים עלינו בכל. Sometimes people will speak lashon harah about someone saying that it is allowed because he is a rasha. then you may hear others saying that today we never really know who is a rasha and we can't.
The zohar (and megillah 28a thanks doubleaa) says that it is assur to gaze at the face of a rasha Would this also apply to looking at an image or painting of a rasha? The rasha says, in essence, that we don’t need all this religious stuff Let’s just have a nice family meal together
Our response is simple, and it instantly takes the bite out of him. A rasha gomer would really lay into this guy rl and give him or her all sorts of tochacha and mussar
