If you can find _one_ instance of any of the proponents using ISKCON's
name in support of the reorg proposal, I will gladly issue a firm
apology to anyone involved. However, if you cannot, and if you have
any integrity whatsoever, I expect a full public apology.

The simple fact of the matter is this - ISKCON has nothing to do
whatsoever with this reorg proposal, and the only people who've even
mentioned ISKCON are not the proponents, but the usual crowd of
misanthropes who have been on a systematic campaign against ISKCON.
It's always been clear that nobody on the Internet speaks for ISKCON
as a whole, and when there have been occasional people speaking for
ISKCON, they very clearly say so. I have stated my position before - I
am very clearly _not_ initiated in ISKCON, so it would be ludicrous to
assume that I somehow speak for the organization.
Now, as for the rest of your article, has it occurred to you that
nobody is trying to force Ajay Shah out of his position as moderator?
The offer to have him join the moderation panel of the reorg proposal
has been standing for several months now, and is still open.
If, after all of this, you still feel that your take on the situation
is correct, I'm sorry to say that you and I will likely not see
eye-to-eye.
