Well, since qwerty613 (aka “the whole tooth” on VIN) has chosen to bring his vendetta from there to here, then I’d like to set the record straight. I will note in advance that I haven’t read this entire thread and am otherwise not going to take sides in it.
In multiple interactions of mine with “the whole tooth” there, he’s talked himself into imagining that I’m “a Chabadsker,” even though I’ve explained numerous times that I’m not, and that all I’m doing is, as he put it there, “spouting Chabad theology.” In the particular thread to which he refers, I cited references to R. Tzadok Hakohen (Resisei Layla) that Hashem loves all Jews because of their inherent taharah (as expressed particularly via their bris milah), and to R. Kook and the Steipler that nowadays even people born into frum families and who went off the derech (like Alan Dershowitz) can be classified as tinokos shenishbu. I ask you, rabbosai and rabbanosai here: are any of these part of “Chabad theology”? Are R. Tzadok and the Steipler, at least, even remotely controversial sources (R. Kook I’m, of course, aware, was and is controversial)? And by the way, in that thread qwerty613/”the whole tooth” eventually (seemingly) conceded that those are valid sources, yet continued to snark that I must think myself “the smartest person in the room” and other such nonsense.
So perhaps this might give a fuller perspective on whom you’re dealing with here.
