[Reader-list] advocacy of violence on 'Kafila'

[TaraPrakash]

You should give the administrator or the writer of the post credit for this. 
You pointed to a wrong kind of message and they removed it. Isn't it a 
corrective action?
You should also note that the kind of people on Kafila are too cowardly 
(emancipated?) to do any violence by themselves. The kind of people who can 
do it don't read Kafila. Some of their's support to violence is known to the 
readers on this list. If the deplorable comments inciting violence are 
removed, it should seen a positive and commendible step on part of the 
person who removed them.

Cheers
