I did, and if you could understand that the two sentences are not
equivalent, then you'd be much better off. Let me explain it to you,
using only small words:

There has not been any one from ISKCON who has said that I am a part
of that group. In fact, when a guy called the ISKCON place here and
asked if I spoke for them, he was told that I do not. So, it does not
make sense to say that any guy from ISKCON has said that I speak for
them.

There, Mr. Vaishnavi - I've spelled it out for you using only
monosyllabic words, with the exception of ISKCON. I take it then that
you should understand why I say that "they haven't associated with
me."

>been shown again and again (by different posters) that you are associated

>therefore necessary that ISKCON dissociate from you as soon as possible.
>Is that simple enough for you to understand?

What would you suggest that they say - that I'm not a spokesperson for
ISKCON? The one person who was asked that question already answered in
the negative. So, please, suggest a proper way for ISKCON to express
that I'm not their spokesperson, and I'll help you find the right
people to sign that statement.

You've apparently missed the point, again. The claim has been that the
reorg was something started after SRV, but the quote shows that the
reorg was already in progress when Shrisha made that quote. Therefore,
any claim that it was started as revenge is a lie, plain and simple.

>	So you're admitting that you sent an article as "Sai's Mom".
>Interesting strategy...a mea culpa.  

Given that I helped test the bot software and know how the bot
processes things, it's not too hard to figure out that my article was
easily traceable, and that I did it intentionally.

>Do you not understand how you 
>sending an article like that would be offensive to many people?  

If you had any sense at all, you would have known that forged articles
had been posted to SRV by Bon Giovanni, posting as various names, and
that's why the Sai's Mom alias was used. Look up the term "Haagen Daas
Ananda" and see why Bon Giovanni added that into his forged articles.

>Do you not understand that you were trying to hide your identity?  

You apparently don't understand that I wasn't.

>Do you not understand that what you did was unethical?  

I posted a forged article in response to Bon Giovanni's multiple
forged articles. I find it a little hard to believe that you find this
to be ethically questionable.

>Basically, Mr. Pai, the word most apt at this juncture is *BUSTED*.

Busted? You've broken something? You must have slipped on something
illogical you spat out. Try seeing a doctor.

Please go ahead and say whatever you want to say,
Mr. Vaishnavi. However, I'm not the only one noticing that these
personal attacks are allowed to continue on SRH for a reason.

>>Again, Mr. Vaishnavi - please check your facts before calling

Perhaps you should check your facts before opening your mouth, again.

Et tu, Sandeep? Please show me any statement of mine which you believe
to be a lie, and if I can't show you why you're mistaken, I will
apologize.  Of course, I expect you to have an adequate reading
comprehension, which you have not yet exhibited.

More to the point, you have repeatedly snipped the quotes I pointed
out where you exaggerate greatly, to the point of lying.

>Instead, you try to denigrate your

>only a liar, you have no sense of decency.

Untrue! I wear long pants and dress shirts most of the
time. Sometimes, in hot weather, I wear knee-length shorts and pocket
t-shirts, but I've never worn anything more revealing in
public. Stating that I have no sense of decency is a charge that you
could not possibly make stick.

Suggesting that you must be lying because a person of your position
have such poor reading skills is hardly a pedestal. If someone really
couldn't understand the explanations I gave and was working towards a
position of responsibility, then I would fear for anyone who had to be
subject to them.

>You're in absolutely *no* position to accuse others of lying.

On the contrary - your opening salvos started with lies.

>You've been caught lying and that's all there is to it.  Your accusations
>of poor reading skills are amusing, I admit.  Amusing and pathetic!

If they were so pathetic, then why do you keep removing my
explanations when you repeatedly make the same accusations? That's
more than slightly telling.

"Busted" as a proper verb? How cute. Perhaps you can now say that I'm
no homie of yours and that you and your posse don't hang with
me. However, I would like to point out that moderation panels are now
the norm for new proposals, and that Mr Shah himself has told Tale
that eventually SRH will have a moderation panel rather than a single
moderator, if what Tale tells the reorg proponents is accurate.

>Clearly, the Narsimha Rao/T. N. Seshan analogy is very apt.  If you think
>it's possible for you, I'd like a response about this analogy.  I'm
>interested to see how you try to squirm out of this one.

So please explain why Seshan would suggest to Rao that the panel be
expanded. I believe that is the proper analogy, and the burden is now
once again on you. If you'd like, I'll provide the quote from Tale
indicating that the moderation appeals committee is to one day become
the moderation panel, without ever going to a vote. Tale, if you
aren't aware, is David Lawrence, moderator of news.announce.newgroups,
and basically the guy who runs the newsgroup creation process.
