“but your “imaginary friend version of Rav Moshe that you concocted” would oppose a Brooklyn eruv even if he knew the correct facts.”

Like I said earlier on this thread, if there were a change in metzius, I think he would reevaluate. You have not offered up any evidence or theory that there has been such a change. It seems like Brooklyn today is fully analogous to the Brooklyn of his times for these purposes.

“and you have no problem projecting into Rav Moshe”

What?! Do you not realize I’ve been the one simply repeating his psak on Brooklyn over and over, while you put your random nonsense in his mouth?

“The difference between me and you is you do not know Rav Moshe’s shitos in eruvin”

No, the difference is that you are so obsessed with Brooklyn having an eruv that the idea of the posek hador not allowing it is too emotionally difficult for you to grasp. So, rather than shaking and crying in a corner, you have created a wild rationalization whereby even he agrees with you despite his well-known stance to the contrary. The rest of us, on the other hand, are mature enough to live in the real world where some people matir things, and others don’t. We pick and lane, and deal with it rather than having to convince ourselves that everyone agrees with us.

“I am defending the mattrim who argue that even according to Rav Moshe’s shitos an eruv would be allowed for the entire Brooklyn”

No such group exists. It’s just you, Richmond, and that nutty website.

“Unfortunately, most of the anti-eruv debaters”

We aren’t anti-eruv. We’re anti misrepresentation.
