My opinion on him: he's nuts.
My opinion on his outlook: it's nuts.
My opinion on his ideology: nutty
The Talmud teaches that converts put Israel into a difficult position. We understand that this is for one of two reasons:
Either the convert ends up being righteous and those of us who were raised in the religion and do not act righteously are held even more accountable.
Or the convert doesn't end up being righteous and now we have another problem on our hands.
You see where I'm going I'm sure.
I understand a problem with the latter point you make but not the former. TBH my problem is less so with his position on converts than he seems really anti-Hasidic. He thinks Maimonides has the only correct interpretation AFAIK, despite admitting in a debate with Michael Brown that there will be various interpretations because the messiah hasn't arrived yet.
Also, something I found that is very relevant.
