Zdad, I have to admit that I can’t be sure what Rav Lopiansky’s motivation was in writing the article, nor can you. My feeling was that his goal was not to embark on a witch hunt, and also not to be mekarev rechokim. The article was not written to persuade lost souls to rejoin B’nei Torah in Avodas Hashem. It appears that the article was meant to define chareidi practice of Yiddishkeit and the role of a Yeshiva education in this practice. And in this, at least to me, it seems he succeeded.
