What I am about to say is, most likely, going to be dismissed by many because I am about to quote someone who was a prominent Breslover Mashpia. For many, this alone may be reason to be dismissive. After the petira of the Lubavitcher Rebbe z”l, a good friend of mine, who was once a Lubavitcher, but became a Breslover, went to Rov Elozor Mordechai Kenig zt”l of Tsfat and expressed to him his bother with this idea. Rov Kenig said to my friend, “I have no problem with him being Moshiach, but let him come already.” I personally feel that Rav Kenig had hit the nail on the head. We all agree that Moshiach is coming and want him to come. Let’s focus on the goal and not engage in purposeless argument.
