to me it looks like insecurities and this might explain the whole chabad in your face mehalech come to think of it

In your face?

dan closing down this thread will not make you look weak or incapable of defending your hashgafa ,

Why does he need to defend his hashkafa? Telling him he needs to defnd it imples you're attacking him, why are you doing so?

if you dont close it will get out of hand

Is that a threat? What do you suggest he should do then?

Care to be more specific?
At any rate lubavitchers also threw parties when the rebbe himself died, so I'm not sure what we're trying to prove.
Are you for real?
I'd rather not be specific.

I'm not looking to explode. But it I was it would be due to some people's lack of respect in this thread.

From my view anyone, I don't care how great, learned, and holy someone is, but if they baselessly call my flavor of Orthodox Judaism a “cult” and "the religion closest to Judaism" and my rebbe "the madman who sits in New York and drives the whole world crazy" then I will say that person is spewing sinas chinum.
you are apparently not aware of the issues. you disagree with him, but it definitely was not baseless

I don't have any ammunition, you're Jewish and I love you for that. I disagree with you on some of the issues discussed in this thread, and I feel bad for you that you don't know how to have a respectful conversation, no ammo though.

you are apparently not aware of the issues. you disagree with him, but it definitely was not baseless

It's not baseless to call the Rebbe a madman?

+1 and exactly the problem with this entire thread.  Every other post is trying to attack a fellow Jew.
I'm not going to lock this thread in case the OP wants to post his Rabbi's response, but let's refrain from any further attacks that don't have to do with clarifying the halachic position on the belief that someone who was niftar may be moshiach.

Please, whoever has anything to say, do not denigrate other's Gedolim. Whatever you think of Putin, he is my president and prime minister for life! When talking to me, it is very disrespectful to refer to him in a derogatory way. Got it?

The only way I got someone to talk respectfully (when having this huge argument in Tzfas, in the Yeshiva) was showing this guy how it feels if you talk about their Gadol the way they talk about your Gadol. "Do you know what they say about ... and the stories they say about him when he was in ...??"

This means - do not say shach or shneorson or ganav or sinas chinum etc. you may not change the way you think about someone but at least temper the way you talk about them.

I ain't got no skin in this fight, but I gotta agree with that.

That's exactly the point.
The Rebbe would never say such things about an "am ha'aretz", let alone a "gadol"
+1,000,000

I apologize for offending anyone, but it is extremely difficult to have a calm and rational conversation about someone who calls your Rebbe a madman and your religion a cult and not part of Judaism.

I agree as well. I mentioned R' Shach four times in this thread, and (only) once I inadvertently omitted the R', I'm sorry if I offended anyone.

While saying that, I think mentioning R' Shach in the context of this thread was a mistake, and now that it was brought up I believe Chabad people should have the right to be moiche about what he said. And yes, Jewda (IMHO) has the right to be moiche about what Cbs said. Either way, R' Shach is OT in the context of this discussion, and the Chabad people who were asked stated that if he indeed appeared as the Moshiach we would recognize him as such, not let's get back on topic please.

An effort to what? Further agitate the conversation in an off-topic way?
