I dont know him, but have no reason to believe that he doesnt enforce his standards
I am more acquainted with the situation at hand then you are, of that I’m sure.
Those sound like two very different angles, not sure exactly how that can be reconciled but I will say that I don’t have to be any “more acquainted” than speaking to a rav and someone in the kashrus agency (separately) and getting the information I was given. That is what Daas Torah is for. If you didn’t have a reputation for being so straight, I would assume that being so heavily involved and NOT knowing this to be true would imply you are making it up.
Brave of both of you to anonymously take pot shots at someone
Pot shots? when daas torah says that there are serious problems with a hechsher giving over the information that posters need to GO VERIFY IT themselves is not a potshot.
I remember at one time decades ago there were brownies individually wrapped for lunches or snack that had a triangle k on it. at one point we were told that we could eat them while so-and-so (don’t remember who) was covering that plant because he followed higher standards of the places he checked. That would be two people with differing levels. When that mashgiach said that the plant had to get used to him showing up instead of just calling in, that is no longer a “different standard of kashrus”.
Regarding present day issues – go check it out for yourself. Annonymously or otherwise is irrelevant, I go by a rov, not the CR.
