RD: And once again, I say to you (and I notice that you have not answered), who on Earth do you think you are compared to the thousands upon thousands of Talmidei Chachamim that have seen Tosfos say all these things and didn’t think that it made Tosfos illegitimate or Apikorsim? And I think a majority of Frum Jews clap on Shabbos (certainly all the Chassidim do), use a Kli Sheini at least B’dieved, just about every Ashkenazi holds that Christianity isn’t Avodah Zarah for Christians, and plenty of other things we rely on Tosfos for. Do you honestly think that you’re so much smarter than the Rema or any of the Rishonim before him or Poskim between him and now to realize that Tosfos go against the proper Derech in Chazal? You and Yeshivat Hadar have solved the Derech in Torah that no one else has since the time of the Rishonim? Stop, think, have a little humility, and realize how dead wrong you might just be. Do you honestly think that you are anything compared to all of those who have seen Tosfos and not dismissed them?
