Could someone please explain the Torah position on differing with Rabbis?

But you have to show them respect on a personal level and not curse them out or call them names.  But you can curse out their decision if it is really evil as long as you don't menchan the Rabbi by name as the Rav did. 

If a Rabbi says something that has its basis in a former unsolved dispute among Rabbinical commentaries and you think the other side is correct, you must respect the opposing Rabbis opinion since he has a basis for his beliefs.

Cheers.

But it's still open season on neturei karta and gay reform types, right?

JewishTeddyBear:
all forms of judaism except for orthodox judaism is fake judaism.  in that sense, there really is no such thing as reform/conservative rabbis.

as far as neturei karta, let me put it to you this way: the most chareidi of rabbis have ex-communicated those nut cases.  the ones who so publically visited and embraced ahmediniNUTjob, are being totally ignored by their respective religious Jewish communities.

In what way is having a differing opinion abuse? 

kahaneloyalist:
Disagreement is not abuse, insults are.

Lisa:
Let me rephrase my question then. 

Why is any disagreement considered an insult?
