Although most of the post is too frivolous to merit a serious
response, this is a most reckless statement and I object to it.
It is definitely what I would consider a "personal attack." Most
scholars praise Srila Prabhupada's books highly, acknowledging that
they faithfully present the commentaries of the Gaudiya Vaisnava
tradition. In many cases, these scholar use Srila Prabhupada's books to
teach their classes. Since this is probably known well to rbalasub, we
can only conclude that it is simply the Gaudiya tradition itself that
he is repulsed by, and it is his right to be so if he chooses.
