You might not like him or respect him and you don't have to but comparing him to Shabsai tzvi is out of line

No I have not and I am not defending any of his actions. That still gives you no right to equate him with Shabsai Tzvi.

No I have not and I am not a fan of his. That still gives you no right to equate him with Shabsai Tzvi.

The medina is so deferential to the goyim.
