Ujm, I took issue with TS claiming that chabad doesn’t hold of payos “because of the arizal”. Those who follow the arizal by and large DO have payos. It’s a chabad minhag, and they are the exception in the chasidish world, and in a minority among those who are into the arizal/kabalah.
Aboose, I named 4 because those are massive mekubalim who come to mind who I know for a fact had payos. The rashash was a towering authority on arizal, as was rav fishel eisenbach. I was mainly trying to refute TS’s implication that if one is following the arizal they would per force not have long payos.
