[Reader-list] shuddhabratas response

[Iram Ghufran]

Emma,

I think you are confusing issues.

A)  "don't you have anyone to fuck"  is not a nice thing to say to 
anyone but these sentiments were expressed in a personal mail by Abhik. 
I chose not to comment on those.

B) "awaiting moderator's approval" is an AUTOMATED response to TECHNICAL 
glitches. As far as I know, it has nothing to do with the content of the 
mail (unless there are attachments)

I think you need to read posting protocols again. They have been sent on 
this list before and I will forward them to you in a separate mail.

C) By the way, I think Shuddhabrata's response did express concerns 
regarding Abhik's unfortunate statement to Vedavati's provocative 
statement. You should read it again.

"Let me clarify at the very beginning that I find the contents of the 
exchange between Vedavati and Abhit (which we have all been subjected to because of Vedavati's forward, with comment, of Abhik's off list email to her) sad and deplorable. While Abhik's language betrays an 
unfortunate misogyny, Vedavati's postings and responses are not exactly exemplars of liberality and tolerance."

Best
Iram
