Oyoyoy, I appreciate being held in high regard by nice people. I did not, however, say what you apparently understood me to say.
Of course people do things wrong at times. My point was that sometimes people who are machmir on themselves THINK that someone is doing wrong, when al pi Halacha he is NOT, ebcause that person’s chumrah has come to take the place of the actual Ha;acha as it was given.
We ALL do wrong. I do, you, do, even Moshe Rabbeinu did. And that is because ONLY Hashem is perfect in His Tzidkus. But when I don’t know for sure what the right thing to do is, I ask a shailah. People who are machmir SOMETIMES (and please note I am not saying this is across the board true of ALL machmirim), look at people who follow the Halacha but are not machmir lifnim meshuiras hadin, as not being really frum Yidden. That is a divisive and elitist view, and can lead to machlokess,
