wolfish-forgive me for disagreeing with you. When I have an actual written letter (as witnessed by Yoshchayal), you cannot refute it by some nebulous stories-especially if the first story supports the letter!
Was there anyone there that can attest to what R’Meir Bloch said to the satmarer rebbe when he was in the yeshiva? On the one hand, I have a written letter, I have an open speech before many rabbonim and on the other hand, all I have are a few words said privately. Maybe R’Elyeh just wanted to show the rebbe kovod but did not agree with his views.That was my point.
