CS: My point was that the Alter Rebbe was referring to a small small sect of people, and even those don’t exist today, because the ones off, aren’t doing it because of their knowledge of Hashem and Yiddishkeit, but rather from their lack of it

Do you have a (non-Lubavich) source that makes this distinction? I know that the velt says in the name of R Chaim Brisker that nebech an apikorus is still an apikorus.

if you know aleph teach aleph

That’s a lovely concept… in theory. In practice, however, it is very dangerous! If someone only knows alef, when he/she tries to teach it to someone else, that person can very easily be influenced who has harmful hashkofos which the teacher does not necessarily know is harmful. That is clearly the reason for so many children of shluchim and other Lubavichers going OTD Rachmono litzlon. (You’re going to deny that the numbers are high, but they are certainly MUCH higher than the attrition in other groups of chareidim.)

Tznius is not its own Mitzvah doyraisa

??? Of course it is! Being machshil someone else is an issur d’Oiraisa!

“Al yemin shehu smol veal smol shehu yemin , the rashi you mentioned is speaking about sanhedrin hagadol in yerushalayim where it is indeed prohibited to argue against”
I don’t recall Rashi mentioning Sanhedrin, just quoting it in relation to our leaders. You’re welcome to correct

The passuk itself is talking about the Sanhedrin! Look it up in parshas Shoftim.

a soon to be giyores iyH who I had taught Chassidus on the basis of thinking she was Jewish, (I think I’ve heard Chassidus is ok to teach goyim too- they’re also obligated to believe in Hashem)

You THINK it’s ok? Is that mean to justify what you did, albeit unwittingly?

[the woman] told me that Chassidus had infected her so to speak- that when she is told about a mandatory class she needs to take for giyur and how it’s so amazing and deep, she’s found everything dry and basic (I’m talking hashkofa etc) after learning Chassidus

You know you’re scraping the bottom of the barrel when you bring an anecdotal proof from a shikse!

Being that that’s just #88 out of #200 complaints etc you’ll have, I don’t see the need [to provide a source]

Now that is certainly a winning reply to a challenge for you to back up some garbage you wrote!
