The spirit of the sages is not pleased with him

The spirit of the sages is not pleased with him

The sages are not pleased with his conduct, even though from a legal standpoint there is no prohibition in what he did.

("And one who negotiates verbally has not acquired, and one who retracts—the spirit of the sages is not pleased with him" - Bava Metzia 48a; and also: "And I heard it said that even though the rabbi Ma'am Lo'ez performed a great work and merited, and benefited the public, the spirit of the sages of his generation was not pleased with him for writing fixed laws" - Pele Yoetz, Aleph collection.)
