You speak about the Torah leaders who one personally worships. I think that’s where you are going wrong. There’s a difference between the overall acceptance of all of Torah Jewry that anyone other than Orthodox Rabbis are not Gedolim and differences of opinion within Orthodox Jewry. If one was brought us in the Yeshiva circles he most definitely should not be speaking against modern orthodox rabbanim (I’m obviously talking about main stream modern orthodoxy that follow halacha albeit with a hashkafa difference from regular orthodox rabbis. Rabbis who openly condone things which are against halacha are not what I’m referring to obviously because such people don’t fall under the category of Rabbanim. This does not permit speaking against them unless one does it within the guidelines of toeles outlined by the Chofetz Chaim ) even though they would not turn to them for guidance or a psak. My point is that just because you happen not to follow a specific rabbi does not mean that you can therefore openly speak in a disparaging way about him.
