“Aside from the fact that he contradicts himself”
Where?
You can’t accuse someone of being disingenuous and then expect to promote your opinion by quoting his. V’hamaynin yovin.
I was just responding to the claim that “no modern day ashkenazi posek calls it stupid, or suggests you can be meikel with it in any way.”
Kol haposel b’mumo posel, so you can’t expect Antone to take him seriously as a posek. Again, v’hamayvin yovin.
Also, I’m sure you won’t even need my help in finding Rishonim/Acharonim whose halachic conclusions we accept, who were disrespectful to other Rishonim/Acharonim.
First of all, it’s more than just an issue of disrespect, it’s really, although he would deny it, almost complete nullification. Second, and more importantly, there’s a certain hierarchy in Klal Yisroel (earned), and you can’t compare one person or situation to another. This fellow isn’t in the same league.
