Far be it from me to question the Gadlus of Rav Ovadia, a true Gadol b’Torah. What I do – with utmost respect – question is the use of invective to describe those with whom he disagrees. As Chazal say, “Chachamim – Hizaharu B’divreichem”.
I personally am not in favor of Rav Stav, Shlita, becoming the Rav HaRashi – I’d much prefer someone like Rav Shapira, the son of a previous Rav HaRashi and currently a Rosh Yeshiva at Merkaz HaRav. That being said, I can see nothing to be gained by calling Rav Stav the names that have been used. If you disagree with his nomination, facts, not name-calling, are the best weapons to fight the nomination.
