Nisht, if you are familiar with the the situation in Beit Shemesh, you will know that the problems Rav Lipman is confronting are problems he didn’t seek out, but rather that were thrust upon him and the moderate frum and chardal community by zealots. As well, He has followed the “teitch” of Degel HaTorah, Shas, and other religious political parties by joining with like minded frum rabbis (like Rav Amsallem in his case) to advance an agenda that he believes will make the lives of his Torah observant community and his constituents better. If it is good for the goose, it should be good for the gander, as they say.
