AAQ – The wording and tone of the letter clearly indicates that the Steipler is responding to a request from the Eidah or similar people to join their Shittah or at least write them some sort of letter of recommendation, something the Steipler politely refuses to do. It is equally clear that the Steipler doesn’t expect to convince them to change their Shittah, and certainly isn’t ‘warning’ them to do so. That’s the whole story, nothing more. Just two Talmidei Chachomim politely disagreeing about a controversial issue.
