@DaasYochid- Sorry. I dont know how familiar you are with the whole chabad/crown heights world. I on the other hand am very familiar so you would understand me very well if you knew. Anyone who knows their mentality close up will be singing the same song. I know noone is perfect but there are certain things that people just cannot stand anymore.
Besides I recently made the mistake of answering a call from a guy living in crown heights, and the first thing he starts of the conversation is bashing how certain people eat cholov stam, who do they think they are, theres only one rebbe, chabad is the best, everyone comes to chabad but chabad stay since they truly believe their ways and others are not decisive,chabad have a way of reaching holier levels than everyone else, chabad niggunim are the holiest, Mesilas Yesharim didnt really do it for him( since hes not sure if its chabad approved obviously)chabad this chabad that and so on until I had to just hang up.
So maybe you caught me in a stormy mood, but things I mention are from experience and reading on their website. Again, ones who have this experience know exactly what Im talking about. And they can have whatever minhagim they choose, but the arrogance that everyone has to agree with them is beyond my patience.
This is a barrier to achdus which noone else has to deal with until they come along.
