MoshiachChat, I honestly didn’t read what you quoted. What are you trying to convince me, that he called himself a navi, moshiach, and infallible?
Let’s say you convince me that he called himself all of the above. My conclusion would be the rational one – that he was a megalomaniac.
You’re trying to convince us that the Rebbe was a cult leader, yet you want us to accept your beliefs as normative Judaism. It’s not very reasonable to think that we will.
I can accept Seichal Hayoshor’s approach as within normative Judaism. He feels the Rebbe was a great man, but didn’t claim all these things about himself. Sure, my mesorah about how to approach Moshiach, kiruv, learning, and other inyanim are different, but that doesn’t mean that I think his are outside of Judaism.
Your nonsense is, though, and it appears that your attempts (and ChabadShluchah’s) have backfired, and instead of convincing people to accept your approach as legitimate, have convinced people who weren’t sure that it’s not.
