This thread is now going places I really want to avoid, and I will now tr to refrain from posting here.
Can we at least agree that MO Rabbonim definitely are following/teaching a very valid derech? Yes, there are unfortunately those who don’t follow it, but that shouldn’t change the fact that the derech being taught is a proper one.
Personally, I try to follow what my Rav says. Are there times I slip? Of course – doesn’t everyone at times? But at the end of the day, I recognize my mistakes for what they are, and try to do better. I also think that almost everyone in my community is the same way.
