Dear Common,
On the gemach, point taken. On the low cost hall, you rent the hall and agree that you did not moser. You pay the janitor. Your guest is one of those who called police. If you get found out, you just ask for your money back. Though it seems like you know a lot about this chassidus. And it seems to be a prudent group. If that is correct, than my reply to your comment was lopsided and immature. And I would not think they are playing games with these bans. But then it is not so comparable to what played out in other communities.
P. S. Can you please tell us how they set up their corona-minyan?
