Dear Yankel,
This was not Menachem. It was me:
I don’t know if this rule applies at all in Torah Debates. Maybe I just can’t figure out what you want. Maybe we have different interests in this discussion.

Your response:
It does apply in torah debates . If there is a Taana , heard and still unanswered .Why is there no answer given ? Probably because THERE IS NO ANSWER available …
Me again:
Do you have a source? When the Acharonim try to use the ‘no response as agreement’ in their teshuvos, it almost never ends like that.
I have given you at least a dozen answers that you haven’t responded back too. So I guess you admit to them all. I don’t know how well you follow things, so let me list for you some disagreements that we have. If I concede I will explicitly say so. I have no intention to keep posting the same responses to the same queries.
A) I am not Chabad. Never was. There are no Chassidim in my ancestry since at least the Nineteenth Century.
B) Most people don’t care about theology. When it is printed in some public forum, most people read right past it.
C) Associating ideas (Such as the reebe is moshiach.) with theological notions, is not theology. It is polemics or propaganda. Or it has another meaning. This thinking tool is so crucial to any conversation about the Ikkarim, that I doubt you have any real grasp on them.
D) I think that when one only sees emunah problems by one group of yidden, that it is hate.
E) My understanding is that prophecy is always attainable. The fact that we are lacking in even one prophet giving directives to others, doesn’t have any significance to me.
F) I understand most of The Rebbe’s teachings in a kabbalistic sense. I don’t know what you think about them.
G) I see Lubavitcher teachings as a whole much more traditional then most other groups.
H) Not every word of Torah that is taught is intended to fit with every other word that was ever taught.
And this is were Chabad is getting hit from both sides. When there is an internal rational for something that Chabad is already doing, (Like not sleeping in the sukkah.) then it is seen as an affront to others, Why don’t you realize that it is merely a justification for what they do, and is not intended for others (that do sleep in the sukkah)?
But then when Chabad spreads their core teachings that most groups are oblivious to, then it is “don’t you realize that we are not Chabad”?!?! So then why did you assume that the other stuff applied to you. (Chabad isn’t going around that others should not sleep in the sukkah to bring the geulah.)
And what is even funnier, is that you have a whole bunch of missionaries on this site, for Zionism, Anti Zionism, College Degrees, No Secular Education, Republicans, Democrats, Trump, and nobody tells them these are not important in my crowd. Comes along a Lubavitcher and hints to how moshiach will enlighten the world, and all of a sudden, it’s how dare you bring that up to us! We know that an Anti Zionist, Democrat like Trump with no secular education is what the world really needs!!!!!!!!!!!
It is very funny. But I think the humor is lost on too many of us. Oh well.
I wonder what Daas Yochid would think.
