joseph: they are not being apologetic toward this kastener fellow, they are asking why the satmer rov didn’t thank him, regardless of him maybe being a rosho. he still saved the rebbes life. yes, did hakadosh baruch hu orchestrate it – yes, but that is the stupidest most dumb reason not to thank someone. because technically with that train of thought, a thank you is never in order, as really no one does anything for anybody, hashem is doing it all. sorry, but simple hilchos derech eretz and hakaros hatov mandate that when someone does something for you, you thank them, and the rebbe didnt, hence their questioning. and if the rebbe was so hell bent on thinking it all came from hahsem, why didnt he honor hashem as the guest of honor instead of all his big donors, at his melava malkas? after all hashem gave him the money?
