I was roundly criticized for a) slighting the rosh yeshiva and b) daring to call my father a tzadik.

I found a reference to 1836. The fact that I found a crumb needn't take away from Dr. Leiman's kavod.

I just wanted to point out that These days i'm more into secondguessing everything/everyone as opposed to the example free "multiple, lengthy almost incoherent rants" you keep alluding to.
