@Tlik you are entitled to your opinion but you are doing the same thing you claim your opponents are doing – which is namely picking and choosing which shitos you want to follow. Granted I am sure there are poskim who hold like you. I am sure you are well aware that there are many roshei yeshivos who disagree with you. Follow whomever your rebbe or posek is. Deciding which way is right or wrong based on your own imperfect knowledge of halacha is never a good idea (and is more than likely to based on a moral system that is not jewish). One of my rabbeim once explained when asked how could we are allowed to get drunk on purim when it is a chilul hashem. His answer was that being mkayam a mitzva is never a chilul hashem – just because other people think it is weird doesnt make it a chilul. He said that in fact it is the opposite it is a kiddush hashem. He cited examples from bris milah and para aduma (this was years before the recent controversy)
