Running to the absolute most extreme example of any argument is a known fallacy. The Egel was was attended by the Rov, so now we should always be פורש מן הציבור.
Shabsai Tzvi did not head a segment of Klal Yisroel. He was a phenomenon that many were confused about. And even there, it would have been oit of place for someone to go up against Rabbanim publicly. You are free to join those who you think are right, but never fan the flames of מחלוקת between them. I’m frankly surprised that this is even debated, after so much tragic history of this kind.
Had you been around in the time and place of Reb Yonason Eibshitz, you would have no doubt lashed out on one or the other. I hope you agree that that would have been a bad move.
