Your are truly a fine specimen of a misnaged.

The term misnaged always meant someone who is against chsssidus. That, I’m not. Nor am I against Chabad Chassidus, only the modern perversion of it.

That anecdote doesn’t ring true.

Ah, but it is.

I attended many Chabad camps, and we had many different themes, not all based on Moshiach.

When was this? It wasn’t always this way.

is the innocence of a young girl who thinks that everyone else is like her so so terrible?

No, and that wasn’t at all the point.

On the contrary, we strengthen Yiddishkait all over the world, thereby hastening the coming of Moshiach.

Precisely. All those wonderful things you do should be for the sake of the mitzvah, not to hasten moshiach. Hopefully that will occur too.

I didn’t say he did, I clearly used the word argue, ie, for arguments sake.

You said “you can argue”. But you really can’t; it’s silly.

Finally, I’ll conclude with a Rambam:
וכל מי שאינו מאמין בו, או מי שאינו מחכה לביאתו, לא בשאר נביאים בלבד הוא כופר, אלא בתורה ובמשה רבינו.

The Rambam is referring to belief in Moshiach, not specifically belief that the Rebbe is moshiach.
