nisht: I hear your Chiluk. I hope you hear mine between ridiculing a Shittah and ridiculing a person. I would never ridicule any Frum person, no matter how wrong they are (whether they are a Gadol or not). I will ridicule a Shittah (such as I do to Joseph’s often 😛 ) if necessary, and even that of a Gadol if absolutely necessary. (Though I would obviously be hesitant to do so; in this case I would have no qualms, however, because I honestly think it’s an issue of Pikuach Nefesh. It also helps that my point of Machlokes with these Gedolim here is on an issue of science/Metzius, not Halachah.)
