Your lack of knowledge in specific areas doesnt make me disrespectful. It just makes you uninformed.
And i'm not against filters etc - I was from the early ppl working on filters way before citifield. I'm not making a blanket statement that every gadol has an advisor with an agenda, and you can;t make a blanket statement to the contrary either. I still don't understand why you are all up in arms about this as if I'm making fun or belitteling gedolim - some ppl tend to get overexcited as if they are big kanoim!
and the r' chaim kanyevski with bet shemesh was used to make a point not that it happened, I'm sure hes fully aware of every city in israel
I think there are many people in our societies who are raised to be taught that Gedolim are "always right, perfect, the smartest etc etc" and it takes growing up and being aware of things until you realize that not everything is 100% like that.
In fact it's just a general way children grow up. The same way that you wake up one day and realize your parents aren't always right or perfect or making the smartest decisions.
I think when we speak like this it makes Rabbeim/Rebbes more human in our minds. And that throws people off from this idea that's in their head.
I think many people would automatically read some of the above posts and their first instinct would be "Wow, such chutzpah, such lies"
It's just a sign of maturity and awareness when you start to realize that things aren't so black and white.
And if any of the above posts sound disrespectful I can understand why someone may think that.
You can only take the posters word that they mean no disrespect and that they are sharing their thoughts and views (even if it may SEEM disrespectful to you)
