Joseph and Squeak,
What you guys have all wrong is that you feel you can be mvazeh or make fun of any talmid chachom if there hashkafos are diffrent then those of the rabbonim you happen to follow.
You see, if i said i beleive that R’ Y.B. soloviechick (or any other rov for that matter) was a bigger talmid chochom and gadol then say R’ Aharon Kotler z’l you would probabably be offended and talk down to me for thinking that although you really have no more of reason to beleive that he wasnt then he was.
If i used just the first initials for lets say R’ Avigdor Miller z’l’s name (like how you do for one of the leaders of the mo rabbonim’s name) because some rov who i happen to hold is greater then him for whatever reason said this you would say i am being mvazeh a talmid chochom and have no chelek in olam haboh.
If you are going to constantly be mvazeh gedolim who’s hashkafos disagree with your way of doing things dont act all self rightous and offended when people do the same to the ones you happen to follow for whatever reason, because you are doing the same exact thing.
