CS: Your only interest in being their “friend” seems to be so that you can have first-hand experience and give credibility to your claims of their inferiority. Do you think they would still call you “friend” if they read what you wrote here?
Sechel: I agree you shouldn’t have to condemn Meshichism over and over. I think the reason you’re seeing it come up for you so much is because the world is kind of baffled as to how there can be someone who admits to all the problems in Chabad, but still chooses to associate with that community. Why are there sane people who haven’t left yet?
