Maaseh Rav - Rabbi Feldman made comments about Dov Lipman based on his understanding of what Dov had said. These comments were seized upon by the Jewish media, many of which decried the Chareidi leader's stance. When he later discovered that he had his facts wrong he apologized. As to whether or not the comments violated halacha see this post

I'm more concerned that you want to die. Why would you want to die after eating non kosher food? You can break nearly any mitzvah to save your life, certainly kashrut laws are included in Pikuach Nefesh. So I just find it concerning that you'd want to lose your life after committing an aveira. Do teshuvah and you're fine.

The first and foremost step in Teshuvah is to whole heartedly resolve not to do the sin anymore, the next step is (a positive Mitzvah) to verbelly confess and ask Hashem for forgiveness. See Tanya first chapter of Igeres Hatshuvah.
(In Shaulchan Aruch Orach Chaim 334:26 it talks about Teshuvah for Chillul Shabbos.)

From pirkei Avos perek 1:11 we see that Avtaylon warned not to say something which can be misconstrued .one should be as clear as possible.
One can also see from the gemara in Yoma 86a that the Rabbanim would be careful with their actions so one should not learn and misinterpret their actions(see case with Rav and Abaye) and cause the greatest sin of ...

Personally I would suggest looking into Rav Morgenshtern. As in this sample here, he blends Breslov and Chabad Chassidus with his own encylopedic knowledge of Kabbalah quite well. I don't see why either branch of Chassidus has to be exclusive of the other, as they are both expounding on the teachings of the Besht in their own way. Further it could be well ...

Thank you for sharing honestly your perception of one of the most important questions in our generation: "How can I determine who my Rabbi is?"
In 1989, when I posed this question to the Rosh Yeshiva of the Breslov Yeshiva in Meah Shaarim, Rav Michel Dorfman z"l (born in the Ukraine in 1913) he answered:
"I don't know who your Rabbi is, but I can tell you ...

What you are referring to is תקנת השבים - Takanat-Hashavim - a special dispensation for those who repent.
By the strict letter of the law, you have to return what you stole. If it no longer exits, then you have to pay for it.
However, since it would be a more inconvenience to return certain items, Chazal declared that the thief may keep those items and pay ...
