Reply To: Question of an ignorant, closed-minded Lubavitcher

Avram
Dont make me use all caps
Let me try this one last time
Any one self identifying as a misnagid is doing so bc he doesn’t respect the chassidik philosophy. If he simply wanted to self identify as someone from a litvish background, he would call himself a litvak.
The historic misnagdim where in open conflict. Shiva was sat on some who went “off the derech” and joined the chassidim. So if you are in open and vocal opposition and you denigrate the philosophy. If you call their practices akin to avodeh zora, why would you take offense when they respond in kind?
Do you really see a major difference between the word snag and telling someone his practices are akin to avodeh zara?
