“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.”
OK I find this demand ridiculous or should I say unreasonable. I definitely won’t apologise as if I did, I would be admitting that I posted that to belittle Rebbes as you say, and now I am sorry. Since that was not my intention I have no intention of apologising.
In fact, to give a comparison, if I were to demand an apology from Sam for posting the story by the kiddush above, for daring to belittle the Lubavitcher Rabbi, I’m sure you would be one of the first to quickly point out that that’s ridiculous and in fact, by demanding he apologise for posting his personal experience and personal impression formed thereof, I am in fact admitting that the Rabbi was belittling lubavitch, not sam who is merely repeating what happened.
My choices would amount to condemning the Rabbi but saying he is a odd case who doesn’t represent the klal, or explaining how sam probably misunderstood him.
Since no one here is claiming the first, and giving weak explanations of the latter (as I will address), my conclusion is that I was right he isn’t an odd case and youre just demanding an apology because it’s politically incorrect.
As for b) i don’t see why I should post my own opinion or shitta. If its to assess my credibility, than I can provide Torah Torah sources either way for that debate. In fact b is ridiculous altogether because I already did exactly that on that all too long 19 page thread. If you have anything else to ask our sources to bring that I didn’t address then, you’re welcome to bring them after THIS topic / question is clarified so we can address one question at a time in a mesudar manner.
