Joseph: Charlie’s point is pretty fair here. Most Frum self-identifying “MO”s do agree on certain issues, that’s why they identify as MO and not something else. Rabbi Gordimer has publicly (and strongly) stated that some of those things are completely beyond the pale, such as Yoatzot Halachah. He is certainly right on Chovevei and PORAT and other such things, but it might be untrue and unfair to call him “Modern Orthodox”. He’s somewhere between “MO” and Yeshivish.
