Neville Chaim Berlin,
“However, Rav Moshe would disagree with you.”
“”Stop speaking for him, jeesh. How is this stuff OK? Reb Moshe was asser Brooklyn, n0m wants to be asser Brooklyn. B’pashtus they agree, so I don’t know why the imaginary friend version of Reb Moshe that you’ve concocted conveniently sides with you on everything.””
No, Rav Moshe objected to an eruv in Brooklyn at the time, but your “imaginary friend version of Rav Moshe that you concocted” would oppose a Brooklyn eruv even if he knew the correct facts. The difference between me and you is you do not know Rav Moshe’s shitos in eruvin, and you have no problem projecting into Rav Moshe that he would oppose no matter what the facts are. I admit that Rav Moshe possibly would have adjusted his shitos accordingly to oppose an eruv in Brooklyn. However, according to his teshuvos he would definitely allow an eruv in Brooklyn. [Again when I claim that Rav Moshe “would allow” I am only referring to according to his teshuvos.]
““I thought you came here just defend the poskim who were not accepted by their own peers.”
As I said you made up your mind and do not want to be mixed up with the facts.”
“No, as you should be able to tell from this thread, we would not be arguing if you were just defending the matirim. There’s nothing wrong with that. This thread no longer has anything to do with the Brooklyn eruv except in a superficial sense. This has become about you representing Reb Moshe as you fantasize him with no respect for the reality.”
I am defending the mattrim who argue that even according to Rav Moshe’s shitos an eruv would be allowed for the entire Brooklyn, and even more so for BP and Flatbush. If you would know Rav Moshe’s shitos we can have a debate. Unfortunately, most of the anti-eruv debaters never learnt the inyan and project their personal opinion into the matter.
