I think Ajay explained his position on this one. Maximum leeway is given to
posters on topics to "satisfy" - freedom of speech. I find such a position
very satisfactory.
Further there is no clear cut distinction between Hindu culture and the Hindu
religion. The greatness of the Hindu religion itself is that it has permeated
into all aspects of it's culture.

Most of the reorg was about keeping the mixture of religion and politics out
of the moderated ng, which I am strongly against, and about reducing
moderation delays. These were the main points, more or less, with some details
about moderators, their conduct etc thrown in.
I am not sure what to make of the position of Russ Allberry (sp?) though. In
his one post he seemed like a reasonable guy. However, there seem to be
inconsistencies in his/their decision on cancelling the CFV.
