Sjnyc,
What you dont get is that alot (most?) of the black hat chareidei world is brought up to think that there gedolim are the only ones worth listening to and that anyone that disagrees with them on that is just not getting it or stupid.
Now if they were ever able to explain WHY (other then there own personal opinion wich is not necessarly better then yours or mine) there talmidei chachomim are any less likely to make mistakes or why they think that there rabbonim are necessarilly bigger talmidei chachomim then say M.O.rabbonim, then i guess there would be somthing to argue with them about.
However when you ask them for a reason they generaly just get offended or they just say that they are doing a good thing beleiving that there rabbonim are the greatest without having a logical reason to do so (you must have “emunas chahcomim” only in THERE gedolim, only THERE gedolim have “daas torah” ect.).
You just cant win an argument with people who think making no sense is a good thing, so dont get worked up about it.
