I'm not going to wade further into this debate, because it's been had a million times in different corners of the internet. I already posted my view upthread.
I'll just say this to the OP: don't even think about deadlifting again until you've seen a back doctor. You don't have to deadlift to be strong, no matter what macho BS you read online. While I agree you need to strengthen your lower back, you can do it in much safer ways.
Bad back injuries ruin lives, full stop.
