I've noticed something interesting in shul lately. A number of "reb Shlomo" people (aka "Carlbachians") have continuously complained about the overall stinkiness of davening at shul.
On this point, I am in agreement. But what is most interesting, to me, is their deep bitterness and disgust. Their feelings of superiority. The negative way they refer to others who don't have as much "fire" as they do. It seems they have completely missed the essence of their own Rebbe - absolute love of and respect for every Jew. How easy it is to slip into bitterness!

Was this on Shabbos morning by any chance? It might just be the lack of pot, which is a challenge for hippy Jews on Shabbos who are usually very loving, peaceful and respectful during the week when they can smoke. Usually they're cool on Friday night too if they smoke a big fat joint before Shabbos.
