Well, by definition, someone who disobays intentionally is also not
accepting the regularting authority. Furthermore, as R' Micha pointed
out, this will very much play itself outside the confines of TAY
chassidim.

In fact, one primary group that will surely be targeted will b e
yidden who want to leave TAY and become Litvaks or non Yerushalmi,
non-Satmar-orbit Chassidim. Or social adherents who come to tish but
do not accept the strictures of teh community (i.e. American
chassidim).
