“OK so who’s skirting now?”
Okay, you may respond on the condition that you either a) apologize to belittling our Rebbeim in a way that isn’t a loaded apology like “I’m sorry you misunderstood what I said,” or b) answer whether or not you believe the Rebbe is moshiach, which is what you’ve been skirting all along.
Otherwise, the answer is still you; you’re still the one skirting.
I can’t speak for everyone, but I personally have not disparaged your Rebbe here. Criticizing things his followers do is not the same thing as criticizing him. His sichos on chumash are not something a random bum off the street could accomplish. We know, by virtue of the fact that you’re a Lubavitcher, that you hold him higher than his contemporaries. If I made an account on a popular Chabad forum for the purpose of “explaining” to everyone how the Litvish gedolim are actually superior and how Chabadniks are actually “misunderstanding” everything we say about them, would you think of me as a good person? Because that’s exactly what you’re doing here.
As for this tourist attraction story, you never named the rabbi in the story so how are we supposed to compare him to Rav Shteinman? I have heard personal stories about Rav Shteinman making similar comments to people in order to make them feel more comfortable. In fact, I think I’ve even heard Lubavitchers tell stories about the Rebbe speaking of mundane subjects with followers to show that he can relate to them. The only possible take-away you wanted from that story was to imply that the rabbi was inferior to Lubavitchers. Why do you still think we don’t see through these things? Or, at this point, have you just pulled out the stops and decided to be an all-purpose troll account because you’re angry at us?
