ZD -“I was answering MW’s direct question about if someone should listen to Rav Schter over a random CR poster , not about OO in general.”

ZD: I was responding to the statement of yours below. I had said that the problem with OO is that they don’t follow Daas Torah. You claimed that neither does Rav Shachter. I am trying to say that my impression is that R’ Shachter does hold of Daas Torah. I guess your second to last post was on a tangental point raised by MW. But either way, my point still remains. When it comes to these types of issues, I am fairly certain that R’ Shachter would hold of Daas Torah, and that is what makes him different from OO, and that is what the conversation had been about (at some point).

LU: “LB- that is one of the problems with the movement -that he is not following Daas Torah and simply deciding things on his own. That is one of the ways that you can determine if a Rav is reliable or not.”

ZD: “I do not belive that either Rav Schecter or Rav Lichtenstein ZTL belived in Daas Torah either, and they are certainly gedolim (Or was in Rav Lictensteins case)”
