Yserbius: where I live, I know of a few people, including local Rabbonim, who won’t step foot into the Chabad place, because the Rabbi there is a Meshichist. He won’t say the Rebbe died – he refers to “the day the Rebbe hid himself from us”. He says yechi after every davening.
I won’t go there either, and if it came to it, I wouldn’t count him towards a minyan.
It’s caused me problems – a good friend of mine made a bar mitzvah there, and I had to apologize to him and explain why I wouldn’t be able to attend. Thankfully the weekday event was somewhere else!
