ARSo – It’s not a matter of being a ?? ??????. It’s calling out patently false views
In order to decide which views are “patently false”, you need to be within some sort of standard deviation of being a ?? ??????. If you open up a ????? and see something that appears “outlandish”, do you also feel competent to declare it “patently false”? There has to be some ??????, which no one writing here has. If Rav Shach ???? would be writing here I wouldn’t be calling him out ???. This is just ???? ???. If you follow a ???? (not just for purposes of ??????, but follow for real) who happens to also not hold of Lubavitch, fine for you. That doesn’t give you the right to add your own “two cents” to this or any other ??????.
ARSo – had you been around 400 years ago would you have said it is not our business to dispute (and denigrate) S”T because he was a big talmid chochom and we therefore have no ?????? to being his ?? ???????
It wouldn’t have been our business. The ????? ???? of that generation decided how to deal with him. These things aren’t the responsibility of every individual Yankel. At the time, the ??? ???? ???? chevra were all for him, and mocked the ????? ????? who opposed him…
ARSo – That is SO not true! Every single Lubavicher that I have ever met over more than the last fifty years is focused on spreading the word of how great their rebbe was/is, and it really irks them if someone doesn’t believe that he was/is the tzaddik hador.
So what. In discussing the parameters of ?????, nowhere does the ??? ???? permit saying ???? ??? in order to “irk” someone. If it is clear that there is no possibility of convincing someone, then there is no obligation, and ????? no ????, of ????? or ????? or anything else. Be honest. Whoever is posting these comments here is just doing it for fun. Not to “save” anyone. By the way, believing any particular person is the ???? ???? is perfectly Kosher. You don’t have to agree, but that is a long way from ?????.
ARSo – That’s fine when the question is merely, is someone a gadol or not. But when the question is whether the supposed-gadol has views that are dangerous and misleading, your rebbe’s rule does not apply, even according to the Chofetz Chaim.
No, not at all. To trigger a ??? ???????? of ?????? ???? ??? it is not at all necessary to be a ????, only to be ?????, which nowadays is not much higher a bar than being Shomer Shabbos… You are also using circular reasoning. Anyone you think might be a ???? is automatically no longer protected by ?????, which in turn permits you to be ?? ??? ???, which establishes that he is in fact a ????…
If you don’t like Lubavitch, maybe you like Satmar… The Divrei Yoel said that if someone is very excited about one particular Mitzvah, but not so much about other Mitzvos, he should investigate carefully where his excitement is coming from… Are all the people here so excited about “saving ??? ?????” from “?????” equally excited about every other aspect of Yiddishkeit?
