Daas,
“Apikorsus”
You remind me of a story that happened in Brisk, the Gabai once announced a certain Chasid as in Cherem, the reason given “for he spoke ??????????”.
Rav Chaim Brisker who was there asked him, what exactly was the ????? ?????????? He replied the Chasid said that the Rebbe (of Slonim) is as big as ???”?. Rav Chaim answered, had he said Rav Shimon is like the Rebbe..nu! Then yes.
But all he said is that his Rebbe is like Rabbi Shimon, nu he is “Stam a meshugenah’ though not an Apikorus!
