This thread is proof of one of the reasons I have heard given for not constructing this eruv – there is so much controversy around the issue that building it and some recognizing it, while others not, does not increase Ahavat Yisroel, but in fact undermines it, puts a stumbling block in front of the blind concerning lashon hora, and encourages dissention among Klal Yisroel inevitably causing disrespect to some gedolim.
