You can’t daven to the Rebbe, you can ask for brachos.
That’s what you say now. Next post you might go back to saying you can because he was the tzaddik gamur of the Tanya. (Someone doesn’t need to be a tzaddik to ask for brachos.)
No one in lubavitch calls the Rebbe boreinu cvs. That’s a libel.
Semantics. You call them not Lubavich. No true Scotsman. It doesn’t change my point that the characteristics you assign to the Rebbe besides being inherently problematic, lead to even worse.
Anyhow I think we can agree that there are different ways to interpret the gemara
And the other sources as well. Which leads us back to your accepting the Rebbe’s wild claims simply because he said them, no other reason.
and others accepted him as such as well
And others did not. You make it sound as if it’s an undisputed fact. It isn’t.
So we continue to go in circles.
