For some reason it seems every time a Lubavitch concept/issue was proved inappropriate the posters decide it’s sinam chinam and call us haters.

First of all, nothing was proven.

But regarding the issue of Sinas Chinam:

While I’m a Lubavitcher, I (as I said before) do hang around other circles, including the Litvish world. And the unfortunate truth is, that I know that however “normal” a Lubavitcher may be, there will be politics against us. For example, however normal and learned SHY may be, and however anti-meshichist he may be, and however many times he may say that he doesn’t believe that the Rebbe’s Moshiach, if he’ll go on Shlichus and start a Chabad house, learn classical Gemara and Shulchan Aruch with his mekurovim, and will send them to Yeshivas, he’ll still be an “outsider” to the Yeshivish world.

As an example, in my community there’s a Lubavitch shliach. He’s a Lamdan, Frum, and Anti Meshichist. He teaches his Baalei Battim real Torah (Gemara and Rishonim, Shulchan Aruch), and many of his Mekurovim are now fully Frum Jews, some Chabad and some Litvish. A Litvisher Yeshivish Rabbi moved into town, and stared going around town saying that he doesn’t teach “Real Torah”. That he’s ignorant. That he’s not Frum.

And I happen to know the Litvisher Rov and the Lubavitcher Shliach personally, and I can vouch 100% that the Lubavitcher is head and shoulders more Machmir than the Litvisher. But that doesn’t stop him from bad mouthing the Lubavitcher.

And this is not the only case I know like this. It happens many times in my community.
