And even if you choose to go by others who didn’t see the Rebbe that way, you can a) understand why we do,
umm, no. Obviously we don’t or we would not be a) having these discussions or b) commenting as we do about the Rebbe and his ways. Isn’t that plain pashut?
and b) be careful when you’re disagreeing with the Rebbe to word it properly and respectfully, quoting the actual dissenting sources and not your opinion etc
See above. If we didn’t see the Rebbe’s words as being a problem in Yahadus, Of course we wouldn’t be disrespectful (in your eyes as you believe it is unwarranted). And if we follow the daas of OUR mesora, then we absolutely should NOT be according more respect. Isn’t that obvious as well? It has certainly been stated ad neauseum. You call it disrespect but we believe we are *defending* disrespect.
