[Reader-list] Lists and assaults

[zainab]

Dear Pawan,

Your email clearly shows that what you are interested in is a show of who
has greater number of followers and who has greater strength. Why not have
a physical fight instead of a list fight? I am willing to take you on if
that is the case.

You say: "> When they talk about freedom of expression , that means the
liberty to > portray a terrorist as a moderan day Gandhi." - now if you
have any sense of honesty, sincerity, and integrity, then go back to all
the discussions we have had which say anything to the effect of "we love
Yasin Malik and he is modern day Gandhi". Dig out one email which says this
and I will bow before your lordship, without hesitation, that you are right
and some of us behind these computer screens are wrong. At the end of the
day brother, what you are interested in is proving yourself right and
jeering at others saying that they are wrong. What kind of
debate/argument/stand is this?

If at the end of the day, your intention is to bring Yasin malik to the
book, then there is a court of law out there, however flawed it may be. Go
to the court and fight your battles there. Go, take on Yasin malik if you
have the guts to. What are you trying to prove here? Why not bare yourself
totally on this list saying what is it exactly that you want? No point in
beating about the bush, eh?

Peace be with you and peace in your heart. My sincere prayers.

Zainab
