I try not to. But the following quote from your own post
(the previous one in this thread) implies that there is
a bias in the moderation policy. And it was in that
context that I brought up the issue of Partha's article.
The article was very much anti-VHP, and SHOULD have been
posted.

Further, I had also said, that the progressive crowd does not
post on s.r.h because of Ajay's said biases. Rather the
reason is inactivity on part of the progressive folks.
