Ten years ago I used to listen to and really take seriously what the OTD crowd and their sympathizers had to say. But after seeing and hearing from the OTD crowd ad nausuem I became disillusioned.
Some may have legitimate complaints and if an OTD person wanted to talk to me now I still would listen to them and take them seriously.Not only that some of their complaints are legitimate even in the absence of an OTD movement.But despite the intrinsic legitimacy of those complaints and criticisms they aren’t reasons to go OTD
I think the majority of the OTD will just take whatever excuse will get the most acceptance and clearance for their conscience. No matter frum society will do the Yetzer Hora will be smart enough to find other excuses.
