I am very perplexed by posters who claim “all gedolim say”. First they exclude those gedolim who are 100% against their shitah – how could they be gedolim if they are against gedolim (no true Scotsman fallacy); second, as Chaim posts, they are also excluding those who are acknowledged within their community who had different views.
Ltzad zchus, I presume they were not aware of these two problems, so they post here, which is great for an exchange of ideas, and then get opposite opinions – and then what? They either double-down or – mostly – ignore this information. I wish they clarify themselves – are they going back to beis medrash and find those opposite opinions? are they going into therapy? quitting internet? I rarely see these conversations coming to some meeting of mind about range of acceptable positions.
