Nice. But why the speculations about my intentions? First, try to follow what
you preach about speculating. Vivek Pai has regularly shown his antipathy for
shaivas in this group. In another post some time back, he claimed that brighu
muni delivered polemics against shaivas (in the bhagavatam) because they were
meat eaters and wine drinkers, conveniently implying that all shaivas do so.
When I pointed out otherwise and cited examples, there was no reply. This is
his standard method, deliver innuendos and give convoluted justifications
later. There are more examples of such behavior, mind you. Frankly, I am not
very keen on any reorg effort which includes such people.

I never claimed that a re-org proposal would satisfy everyone (nor did I hint
that it should), and it would be quite naive to speculate otherwise.
Speculation again, eh? My points were against the repeated assertions that the
re-org is a good move.

That's between you and the moderator. I couldn't care less. Ofcourse I find it
funny that some of the proponents want to shove their opinions on talking
about religion+politics etc in srh down other people's throats and then talk
about democracy in the USENET. A case of the pot calling the kettle black, I'd
say.
