“This is the true story.”
Yet there is seemingly no record of it. I’m not saying you’re in the wrong, but I’ve looked into this before and can’t find a reliable account.
“Menachem, that was not the story as I heard it from Korf’s son…”
The mere fact that this is being passed around like a Chassidishe Maaseh rather than having official police records is in itself fishy. This thread is actually the first time I’ve seen people defend either side. Usually Lubavitchers admit that other frum communities are off-limits for proselytizing, and the other side usually admits the reaction was disproportionate.
“I don’t know why you think that random Chabadtzkers owe us some official declarations.”
They can’t complain about us accusing them of having controversial beliefs then also refuse to deny those beliefs.
“If you know what crazy is then you understand the reference.”
We consider all meshichists to be crazy, so we’re trying to understand why Menachem draws the line at a seemingly arbitrary point. It’s a totally legitimate question, and he still hasn’t clarified. It’s essentially the same as Avram’s question of why should they need to conceal the belief. Also unanswered.
