Avhaben (or whatever you call yourself these days),

You;ve missed the entire point.

There are Chassidic people who are unhappy with their lives in the fold. To escape, they leave the derech altogether, when they might just as easily remain on the derech and in the yeshivish or MO camps. (Now, I know you don’t consider MO on the derech at all and probably think they’re better off in a Reform Temple than in MO, but I’m going to ignore that for now). And so, there should be programs that allow them to go where they’re more comfortable and remain on the derech.

And, to your point, if an MO person would be more comfortable in a chassidic setting, they should be allowed to follow that derech too.
