Dear Moderator,

Reference post #6 which has been given a face lift by you at the request of Mr. Nara:

You can concede each and every request-right or wrong- of Mr. Nara. But please do not expect a comment on that from me. Thank you. You can do whatever you want with my observations. You are the moderator. When someone comes into the forum , starts a thread exclusively to shower the inanities mouthed by EVR which are nothing but third rate abuses of a minority community, I did not find any other word than hijacking to point it out. Hijacking is a situation in which the victim ( in this case it is the silent majority of the members of the forum who suffer the ignominy) has no option and every option/initiative lies in the hands of the hijacker-particularly when the moderator is a silent witness showing indulgence to the hijacker. Please do whatever you want with my post. I have expressed the views of majority here. I wont even try to extract an assurance from you that you will not ban me by playing on victimhood sentiments as Mr. Nara did. I have adequate self-esteem and so wont do that.Thanks.


Dear Sri suraju06 Ji,

As you know, ours is an open Forum, not just for Tam Brahm membership. As such anyone can post any ideas, as long as there are no personal attacks and abuse. That is why, we do not allow any allegations against our Gurus.

But EVR is different. He was instrumental in our community being what we are today. And one of our member feels that what he said about certain things were forward looking and will help our community. Our community is not such a fragile one, that we can not examine EVR's thoughts again and understand why majority of us still reject his ideas. Just not allowing one to post or to view such ideas as somehow attacks on our community in my opinion, is quite short sighted.

Jews have, what they call as a 'holocaust museum', where all the painful experiences they went through under the Nazi regime are detailed. While even today, it brings pain to that community, they would never think of getting rid of the museum. They want to REMEMBER.

Remembrance is the only way we can look at what EVR wrought in daylight and ask our own questions. There was a reason EVR was accepted by a lot of our brothers. We can not just dismiss that by saying that all these DK/DMK guys are idiots. They caught people's attention in TN and Congress is reduced to a bit player.

While we can all debate over the way EVR is presented, or his methods, one can not deny his personal impact on our community ever since independence or perhaps before it.

Unless we discuss these in a civil manner, like you posted on the EVR thread about 'Karppu' or this thread where his true personality is exposed, most of our youngsters would not know his true side and may fall victim to false propaganda.

A community that refuses to examine itself on the face of attacks like EVR's will be a very weakened community in the end.

Regarding Moderation, yes, I do that according to the Forum rules. I could have easily removed your words. But I am trying to foster a modicum of some civility among our members here. Thank you.

Regards,
KRS
