The title of this posting is "Explanation for Rejecting Two Articles."
However, no explanation was given, other than a rather arbitrary ruling that
the posts in question supposedly contained personal attacks.
This is especially interesting with regards to my post, since it is the exact
same copy of a posting that was made to alt.hindu a while ago, which was
*approved* by the same moderator, Mr. Ajay Shah.
I request that the moderator explain to me, at least in private, what personal
attacks he supposedly found in my posting "What is Maayaavaadam?" I would then
like to know why it was accepted for posting to alt.hindu previously, but
suddenly now it is deemed as having personal attacks. This is a perfect
example of what I mean when I say the moderator is inconsistent in his
treatment of personal attacks.

Since they have not seen the articles, they can't really make an intelligent
decision about whether or not to support your decision, now can they?
