Vivek Pai carefully takes two or three lines from an article I posted to the debate on rec.music.white-power, spins them with the force of a tornado, and then claims to be baffled over my "adulations" of the Nazis which he then posts to soc.religion.hindu! I've already refuted this demented interpretation once, and I'll do so once _again_, and then I will stop. First, to understand the intent and scope of the article it is necessary to read the 30-40 articles posted immediately preceding and following the article I posted. The context of the ongoing debate over rec.music.white-power is . . . Actually, as I type this, I suddenly realize that this is exactly what Vivek wants. If a post another refutation, he'll just twist what I say again and again, thus distracting people from the article I quote below, the THREAT Vivek made against Ajay Shah for his support of soc.religion.hindu.vaishnava rather than soc.religion.vaishnava. Vivek's standard response to this article is to dodge the main point of this article by cutting and pasting large sections of his biased "FAQ" without ever refuting the charge that the SRH re-org is motivated by a desire to punish Ajay Shah. The standard response to this is that Ajay Shah can always go ahead and join the list of moderators selected by Vivek et al. This clever political ploy neglects the fact that the other proposed moderators can then vote Ajay out the day after the SRH reorganization passes. BTW, Gopal, can't you see the human element behind this proposal? If you were a moderator of a newsgroup, working hard to advance hindu dharma, and immediately after you posted an article supporting SRHV instead of SRV, a group of people who were voracious supporters of SRV suddenly post an RFD to re-organize the newsgroup you were moderating, would you not believe that it was motivated by vengeance? Particularly when they state this openly - as in the article I quote below. Would you trust them? Improvement of SRH is simply a convenient smokescreen to punish Ajay Shah for daring to disagree with the supporters of SRV. Currently articles are clearing promptly, and I am sure that, given this brutal attempt to punish Ajay, that he will carefully make sure that this continues. If, at some time in the future, the number of articles posted to SRH becomes too much for a single moderator to handle, then Ajay, after consultation with the readers of SRH, can choose a co-moderator. Not only Nazis want to deny freedom to others. By punishing Ajay Shah for expressing his personal opinion about the correct name for a new newsgroup, Vivek et al. also wish to deny freedom of expression.

That is what you will have to contend with as the result of your actions. Can you say karma? -Vivek ----------------- End quote ----------------------------------------
