Oh give me a break. The paramparaa from Madhva is a fact. Would you like me
to send you proof? I have recently received a transcript of a speech given
by H.H. Vishveshvara Tiirtha of the Madhva sampradaaya. It was given
several years ago at Srila Prabhupada's pushpa samaadhi mandir in Mayapur.
In that speech, Vishvesvara Tiirtha very *explicitly* stated that the
paramparaa is the same, and that the conclusions presented in both are the
same. While I'm sure he recognizes the differences between the two
philosphies (dvaita vs. achintya bedha-abedha tattva), he did not let that
stop him from stating that he was very proud to belong to the same
paramparaa as Srila Prabhupada.
Vishveshvara Tiirtha would not agree that the Gaudiya sampradaaya is a
"fanciful concoction" or that it irreverently "borrowed" aachaaryas from
the Madhva line (whatever that means). It does not surprise me at all that
you would spam this sort of random noise on this group, as I have noticed
that your technique of debate is to change the subject whenever you are
incapable of talking about the issues at hand. The fact that you snipped
out almost all of my message seems to indicate that you are more interested
in attacking me rather than having an intelligent discussion.

Cute. Well, I will put Gaudiya logic up against your so-called logic any
day of the week. If you are so confident in your abilities as a logician,
why are you wasting time with slanderous remarks instead of talking
philosophy? The fact that you have to resort to slander is indeed telling,
but I will give you the benefit of the doubt and consider any "logical"
proposals you would like to make.
Let's see if you can put your money where your mouth is...
