[Reader-list] Condemning one person's act; praising the same act by another. Munaafaqat?

[Kshmendra Kaul]

Dear Syed Yunus
 
Were you suggesting that I had maligned Inder Salim?
 
If not, then please ignore this post and read no further.
 
On the other hand if you were actually suggesting that I had maligned Inder Salim then I would request you to think before making such foolish pronouncements.
 
To malign someone is to accuse them falsely of something.
 
I highlighted two resposnes of Inder Salim to two identical types of postings. I highlighted his hypocrisy in berating one for posting a News Item and praising another one for doing the same. Those were representations of Inder Salim's contradictions. 
 
Where was the maligning if what i presented was factual? Think. Think Think.
 
Now there is a new question (inspired by your very own):
 
How should one consider this person Syed Yunus who MALIGNED me by falsely accusing me of maligning someone??????
 
I hope the List Administrator makes a note of your having MALIGNED me.
 
Kshmendra
 
( I would have sent this as a private mail if not for the fact that you MALIGNED me in the 'public space' of this List)

Im not interested in ' how should one consider this person Inder salim'  but im concern about how should one person consider people, who say, write, & lobby to malign somebody.

What should one call it when a person condemns an act by someone and praises an identical act by someone else?

ACT A ------

On Oct 6, '08 - Pawan Durrani posts "J&K Militants are terrorists : Pakistan President". He reproduces the news item and gives the weblink.

He introduces it with the comment "An interesting and important statement from Pakistan President .........".

(Not so humbly put) Reaction from Inder Salim to Pawan Durrani --------- "  WE ALL READ DAILY NEWSPAPERS . WE KNOW IT. WHAT IS POINT TO FORWARD IT? UNLESS  THERE IS SOMETHING TO ADD .
HUMBLY
IS

ACT B -------

One day later, on Oct 7, '08 - In an identical act, Naeem Mohaimen posts  "FINANCE: Karthik Rajaram Kills Family, Himself". He too reproduces the news item and gives the weblink.

Naeem makes no comment as an introduction to the news item.

Response from Inder Salim to Naeem Mohaimen --------- "thanks for forwarding the news item which appeared in all the daily news papers all over the world."

How should one consider this person Inder Salim? 

This comes in quick succession after the List Administrator similarly displayed hypocritical attitudes by de-listing one person for abusive language and not having taken similar action against another person who also had used abusive language ( equally abusive and crude)

Kshmendra
