The Netziv's View Of Gedoilei Yisrael that called other Gedoilim "Apikosim & Tzadokim"

 

"חשדו את מי שראו שנוהג שלא כדעתם ביראת ה' שהוא צדוקי ואפיקורס"

, "הקדוש ברוך הוא ישר הוא ואינו סובל צדיקים כאֵלו

"They accused those (Gedoilim)  that according to their opinion  did not conform to their views of fear of G-d that they were  Tzadokim and Epicureans," Know that  The Holy One, blessed be He, is honest and does not tolerate such righteous people"

We all knew "gedoiei yisrael" who authored many sefarim and called out other gedoilim that did not conform to their views "apikorsin & meenim." 
The Netziv z"l held that Hashem does "not tolerate such tzaddikim"

This was a very famous quote that he wrote to Harav Shmuel Salant z"l to comfort him when the extremists were harassing and threatening Rav Salant. I believe its in one of the Hakdomas of one of his Sefarim. I will try to get back to you on this.
