[Reader-list] FIR and this list

[kamalhak at gmail.com]

Ha Ha, Tapas. I am really flattered to be labeled as a 'bully'. I wish we were so. We would have, most probably, then not faced the ignominy of being hunted out of our ancestral homeland to live as refugees in our own country.  And see the dichotomy in your and other self proclaimed moralists' position. While you lose no opportunity in supporting the perpetrators of worst crimes against humanity, you become totally blind to sufferings and aspirations of the victims. It is also strange any expression of angst and frustration of being neglected is termed as bullying. Wow.

I am totally devastated to learn that I have miserably failed to
impress the loving kamalhak. but one minor question remains - why are
those who have been bullying others taking advantage of the free
speech policies of this list, and have extended their bullying to the
"real world", not to be considered pariah by those who do not like
their bullying? is kamalhak another name for aditya raj kaul or one of
his co-bullies?

The forum which makes a virtue of free speech can't resist declaring Aditya raj Kaul a pariah because he dares to articulate an alternate view point. The list that castigates any differing opinion as rightist doesn't mind preaching its leftist philosophy  religiously. The more you follow the list more you get convinced the twine shall never meet. Tapes of this world might bask in their self assumed world of righteousness but I believe most of us are not impressed. Have we ever heard of perpetuity of farce?
