I would like to share a discussion I had on another site.
Someone said his rav suggests he doesn’t visit BP on Shabbos so not to witness chilul shabbos by frum people i.e. carrying with their eruv.
To which I replied:
Well, according to this silliness, perhaps you shouldn’t visit Chicago or Cincinatti, Detroit or Denver, Toronto or Montreal, LA or Lakewood, NJ. as most of them are RESHUS HARRABIM D’ORAYSA ACCORDING TO RAV AHARON KOTLER, RAV AHARON SOLOVEITCHIK, HIS BROTHER RAV YOSHE BER, RAV YAAKOV KAMENETZKY, RAV MOSHE WEISMAN OF YETZIOS HASHABOS, RAV MOSHE BICK, THE MISHKENOS YAAKOV (forgive my order not according to proper kavod) and others. Ella mai, they have their poskim? Well Boro Park also has its poskim whom they follow and they have no obligation to follow even Rav Moshe who purportedly assers. Especially when they feel that it does satisfy Rav Moshe’s criteria.
I don’t recall anywhere that if Bais Shammai married off a tzaras habas to a yavam, that Bais Hillel wouldn’t attend, saying: “how can we attend a chasuna of chiyuv kares?!”
