Mod,
1) there are different views on these issues among Rabonim, so there is room for debate here. If you feel that certain Rabonim you trust and others are not legit (just an assumption that might be wrong), then you are essentially claiming your own opinion of who is to be trusted. For a,hopefully, non-controversial example – there are/were people who felt strongly for/against L Rebbe, R Moshe
(less of), R Soloveichik. As far as I know, they themselves were respectful of each other.
2) My regular circular reference to “my Daas Torah”. According to him, what Rabbis (over centuries) write in teshuvos depend on what people ask in their shailos. So, if you ask your DT how you could contribute to unitu of Am Isroel and whether you should/could daven for safety of Jewish soldiers fighting terrorists, you will be – indirectly – affecting the debate among poskim. Don’t be shy.
I wrote a disclaimer, instead of deleting, to your implication that these issues are ours to “decide as a group”. Period.
