I quoted everything the poster wrote in order to indicate who I was replying to.

” BUT, today, Chabad is the only group that behaves that way.”

Which is exactly why I said I have nothing but pleasure from your opposition as it shows that Chabad have maintained the path of Chassidus despite hundreds of years of people like you attacking.

“So, what did you mean?”

I meant for example that there people are makpid to daven b’zman but not b’kava and b’toch koved rosh. That someone thinks rolling out of his bed into shachris and mumbling words for a short period of time is davening. That there are people who think the reason they were put in this world is to do mitzvos to get in to heaven. That there are people who are overly judgemental and scorn people who are not scholars. Etc.

There is a reason the Mussar movement existed shortly after. Chassidus came to correct real problems in the Jewish community, and those who opposed it eventually recognized those problems but had to come up with a new solution since they already made Chassidus out to be assur. And the same Tayneh’s you are saying about Chabad and chassidim in general were also made against the originators and original students of the mussar movement.
