Really? I have never (until the re-org RFD) seen a post that indicates
this. In fact, I recall posts from other proponents suggesting that
they have no objection to me as a moderator, and they do not seem
to think that SRH has this image, after all, if they did why would they
offer me the opportunity to moderate in re-organized forum?
Or is this a part of clever strategy where each proponent picks
their specialized area of personal/political attack against
the moderation and moderator?

All are welcome. Those who believe in Hindu dharma will post
more and those who do not will post less on a Hindu newsgroup.
It is my impression (please correct me if I am wrong), that
generally, progressives and communists are less inclined towards
religion (certainly not all though). This combined with
relatively *very* low activity on alt.india.progressive itself can
easily explain why fewer progressives post on this newsgroup.
Accusations are easier to make. You have not provided *ANY*
proof for this. What bias have I exhibited? Repeating a lie,
many times over does not make it true. I challenged you to
show an article rejected on *political* grounds, you have not
done so. Whereas, on the other hand, you claim that I am doing
a good job as a moderator and would like me to be a moderator
on the re-organized newsgroups! Intersting.
I on the other hand, have shown consistency. I welcome all multiplicity
of ideas and ideals.
In fact not only on SRH, but even on our WWW site, The Hindu Universe,
where I have multiple pointers to your site. When it comes to Hindu
dharma, I welcome all viewpoints. If I point out, your excellent site
does not have pointer to the Hindu Universe, and yet!

Where? When?? Parthaji posted his views, and others posted their
view. Why this expression of anger? Most the other netters, who
unlike you, voted for the newsgroup seem satisfied with this newsgroup
Is this a personal vendetta, because a "Hindu" newsgroup unsupported
by you passed, Mani ji?
