Here is his what he wrote (in response to this):

Hello Mr. Hyehudi, LOY”TI really do not know much about you or your personal hashkafos only that they appear to me to be somewhat confrontational.Regardless, I am always gratified that anyone even reads my posts and more so that they post references to it. Yasher Kochacha for that.I actually would like you to reference my material more often. I have really only seen two posts referenced and the substance of these two posts in particular give me a bit of insight. (Oddly enough, they both mention Rav Dovid Cohen.)As far as the post that I deleted, be assured that not only did you have nothing to do with this, but I wasn’t even aware that you ever referenced my post until about the time it went down. In that vein, I want you to know that I have a personal policy that, to the extent possible, when I refer to other people in my posts, especially to other writers, I make an effort to notify them that I did so. If I have their email, or if I can locate it, I will send them a copy.I wrote an extensive post of this policy and why I do it. You can see it here:As such, I think you likewise have an obligation to notify me if you reference my posts. I am available at this email.Back to the deleted post, all I will say on why I deleted it is that Rav Dovid Cohen is still a distinguished person and represents the Torah world, so to denigrate him any more than is absolutely necessary would be לא תלין נבלתו because, when any distinguished Torah personality is disgraced, it is קללת אלוקים תלוי and I do my utmost to be sensitive to Kavod shamayim.And, yes, I do still have the original, but it is no longer for public consumption.Hatzlacha rabba,Kol Tuv,Yechezkel HirshmanP.S. You may post this email if it suits you – totally unedited but you may remove this PS.
The end. I intend to reply tomorrow.
UPDATE: Here is my response to the above.
