[Reader-list] FIR and this list

[anuradha mukherjee]

Ana,
leaving the list shold not be the answer to lumpens pretending to be
intellects or even political activists. Most of them just aspire to be
future A Rajas or Nira Radia and get a share in some scam pie, some tasty,
rich pie. So it is a strategy with them to be obnoxios and scuttle
discussions. Someone like Samvit does it by being obnoxiously misogynistic,
others by calling names.
I would not have a problem with anyone expressing their opinions, but when
they cross the limit of respectful dissent, I think it is time for them to
leave.Not you. Such kindergarten tactics like bullying may continue for many
of these people, into the political sphere for some of them.It is just
disappointing that people who have only begun to participate in political
discourse are so unabashed about their ignorance, booing and thumbing their
noses at others all the time. So if they speak, they are patriots, even when
they talk violently. But if someone like A Roy speaks, she deserves an FIR.
