Breaches of authority
The Rebbe's "tolerance" is the subject for another thread. I'm pretty sure (too lazy to check) that among the links that TA posted for the newbies, was one that puts out SJ's opinion of the Rebbe, check out the comment thread there. I am not in the mood of getting into that topic either.
My point is that the reaction of one person - any person - to any given event is far more predictable and accountable than that of the masses. (Incidentally, the topic is treated in Chassidus, and is one reason why bechol meodehco is not demanded when the klal is being addressed). Like I said, I do not think that the result of the M. affair would be the same had the initiative been up to the masses.
Yes there were many misuses/abuses/breaches of authority/power/trust in previous years as well. But they do not come close to what is going on now. Enough said.
