“I was not a misnaged. Far from it . I Was an Omed Min HaTsad. Did not understand what all those people wanted from habad . And had sympathy for the [apparent] victim of unwarranted accusations.
Nevertheless came to that conclusion.
So it seems that you agree that you are not qualified ?”

I am pro-Chabad in all (or most) of my posts, so you assume that I’m a chossid and therefore biased.
Subsequently, I should do the same with you:
You are anti-Chabad in all (or most) of your posts, so I should assume that you’re a misnaged and therefore biased.

So you answer that you weren’t born a misnaged, you BECAME one. And what if I became Lubavitch? Do you have any reason to assume that I was born Lubavitch?
And if I was born Lubavitch, maybe my grandfather was born into a holy rebbishe mishpacha, yet left to become Lubavitch because he found the truth there?
Maybe I have friends who were top talmidim in Lakewood, choshuve families in Satmar, who left and became Lubavitch, and are now shluchim around the world?

What makes you think that you’re the only one with the right to unbiasedness?

Listening to his talks is irrelevant to this question

How is it irrelevant? You are trying to figure out a rabbis true kavana in how he spoke. Obviously, someone who learned his teachings know more about what he thinks than someone who didn’t.

This is like someone who says (ch”v ch”v) that the Talmud is a horrible book that is full of hateful teachings and illogical ideas. You ask him, “How much Talmud have you studied?” He says, “studying Talmud is irrelevant to this question.”

(However, the guy who did study Talmud has one downside: Since he spent so much time studying it, he becomes biased in defending it. Whereas the guy who never opened it up is completely objective, so his hateful remarks have more value.)
