seeing your snide remark about praveen swami, may i ask, what exactly is your problem with praveen swami
 
i too had my own preceptions about him until i interacted a bit with him and saw him interact extensively with some of the most strident anti-india and pro-kashmir-azadi voices in the facebook group Moderate Voice of Jammu, Kashmir & Ladakh
 
after the intitial barbs directed at him (not unlike yours) were done with, when people got around to seriously interacting and conversing with him there was respect shown towards him even when people strongly disagreed with him
 
here is a sampling http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=137304319631342#!/topic.php?uid=137304319631342&topic=146
 
i suggest that you too find an opportunity to converse with him
