I NEVER said that an attack on the article is an attack on those Gidolim.
I wrote that speaking out against those who publicly advocate beliefs and practices which are against the Torah is neither Loshon Hora nor Motzee Shem Rah.
I cited the article as an example of what YCT is saying, writing, and doing. All of this information is public and mainstream.
I was then asked, “Who decided that it is against Halacha?”
I then cited those names of the Gidolim ZT”L who issued the Psak Din in 1956 against the same type of Pluralism that YCT endorses today.
Also from the article:

Although the pre-eminent Modern Orthodox Torah sage, Rav Yosef B. Soloveitchik, permitted collaboration in issues NOT relevant to religion, such as social services, and advocacy on behalf of the State of Israel,
he unequivocally opposed any religious, spiritual, or theological dialogue.
He wrote an article in the newspaper, The Morgen Journal, outlining his opinion on this vitally important matter:
It is impossible for me to comprehend, for example, how Orthodox Rabbis, who spend their best years in Yeshivos and absorbed the spirit of the Oral Law and its tradition, for which Rabbi Akiba, Maimonides, Reb Moshe Iserlis, the Gaon of Vilna, Reb Chaim Brisker, and other Jewish sages are the pillars upon which their spiritual world rests, can join with spiritual leaders for whom all this is worthless. A rabbinical organization is not a professional fraternity, which fights for the economic interests of the rabbi. It is an ideological entity where members work for one purpose and for one ideal. The fundamental difference in ideology and in observance makes such a unity impossible. From the point of view of the Torah, we find the difference between Orthodoxy and Reform Judaism much greater than that which separated the Pharisees from the Sadducees in the days of the Second Commonwealth, and between the Karaites and traditionalists in the Gaonic era.
