Dear Sri Raju,

I agree with you but I would like to say one thing. Now please note that I am indeed American and not of Indian birth but I still would use "nAm pirAmingal" (dangerous step into Tamil there!) and include myself as a Brahmin when speaking and thus say the following. We owe it to Nara to grant him his vAk amongst us. While he is on quite an offensive tearof prolific posting he has not yet decided to leave our midst and he has not yet gone so far as to stop engaging us. I do not want him to leave or even stop. If he does he is even farther away from satyam. I pray that by granting critical, tolerant, and patient audience we can not only prove why we are called 'the high caste' but also through the gift of our listening (srautam?), there is a chance that allowing his expression of words (vak), he may gain sight (chakshus?) that leads him closer to us. I advocate for him because even Swami Vivekananda was obstinate in his approach to Sri Ramakrishna but by tolerant forgiveness Sri Ramakrishna forged a gift to the world tempered in the very flames of Swami Vivekananda's own spicy intellect.

My only hope is that Sri Nara begins to sweeten his delivery a bit. All the other things will fall into place in due time

Sincerely,
Roman (Sankara)

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.
