CS, i can speak for myself in why i didn’t pursue a conversation about the Lubavitcher rebbes statements. I do not know kabala and i cannot learn about it on an anonymous Internet forum. When someone talks about sources in nigleh, i can always look it up and learn it myself .
I do have a background in learning chasidishe seforim, but i don’t delve into things that i don’t readily understand which are kabala oriented. My rebbeim taught me some concepts; sefiris, klipos, tzintzumim, fallen middos, and others. But it’s from people who i know and trust.
I do not follow the Lubavitcher rebbe and I’m not interested in his personal torah ideas. I do not accept him as a valid source of information, and this is the most common opinion in the Yeshiva world.
It’s important to realize that not everyone is interested in what the Lubavitcher rebbe had to say. Chabad is very, very interested, hanging on his every word. Other chasidim are curious and/or interested, except satmar and a few others. But litvishe, while we’re fine with other chasidishe seforim(most today aren’t misnagdim) the Lubavitcher rebbe had serious issues, and our gedolim told us to distance ourselves… But we didn’t really need to distance ourselves, because chabad made themselves a completely separate part of klal yisroel, except on occasions when they attempt to spread their rebbes influence, then suddenly it’s all about “achdus”
