Reply To: Redeeming Modern Orthodoxy

R Gordimer is clearly identified as a MO rRabbi. He has smicha from what is the premier, if not only, MO Organization that issues smicha in the US. He is an executive member of the largest MO rabbinical board.

I guess the comments were too pointed for some and they therefore wanted to come up with some reason to ignore his message.

I do believe that there is an element of truth to that. It is always easier to shoot the messenger than to argue with the message.
