Dear Toi,
You make a rational argument. But it is not true. All the time people make statements about this one and that one being Moshiach. Just they quickly walk it back, because of the black cloud hanging over Chabad. If the Rebbe would have an obvious successor, I’ll Jewish groups would sound the same. Also, Chabad NEVER vehemently condoms ANYTHING. It is not their way. That just about ends your argument.
