Dadagiri ji, >Who cares if he has friends in maoist commandars or in Army's commandars... When you write 'Who cares' and post, you already cared. If you really don't care, you would not even care to write. Just joking. And why did you partially agree with Ashu ? Do you feel you have already fell from my favor and politeness, ra bhanya ? Trust me, you will not. Until the day Gyanendra shoots hundreds of protesters and you come here to say that you are sad but you still support Gyanendra ! The moment of truth is yet to come. Tyo Ashu ko kura sabai napatyaaunu hai. Fataahaa kura pani garchha oo. It is not true that everybody who don't agree with all of my views have fallen from my favor. I have already given in a thread you and I were together examples of Sajha posters who do not subscribe to my views including republicanism yet enjoy tremendous respect from me. I can even name an anti-republican poster whom I practically worship (fan bhaneko kya !). Ashu is just painting a wrong picture of me. But it is true that I can not stand verifiably dishonest people. That's my weakness. ***************** Gorkhali-X, I have already told you I am very reluctant to have any kind of debate with you. If you have not have a chance to read my explanation, go to this thread - http://www.sajha.com/sajha/html/OpenThread.cfm?forum=216&ThreadID=19137 Nevertheless, you brought up a question of a real concern- the safety of our near and dear ones back home. I believe everybody in Nepal, irrespective of whose family they are, have their safety to worry about, if the record of the security force of abusing innocent people for various reasons is any guide. As for myself, I know what I am doing and what risks are involved in it. This is a conscious choice I made a long time ago fully knowing this day will come. This is all I have to say. And I hope this is my last conversation with you, if you don't mind. ***************** Sangey ji, Thank you for your cautionary note and urge for civility in the debate. Needless to say, I agree with you. I hope my explanation in reply to other poster convince you of my harmless (I hope) intention in revealing Brook's identity. I am keeping the note of my apology in my pocket just in case. The small attitude I showed got all the attention and the very profound and deep question of morality and reasoning I raised was sidelined. Obviously the apologists and the supporter of the coup have not much to talk about. I do hope the debate will continue here and other places and we will reveal our moral identity rather than personal identity. Aafailai pani bhaneko. ******************** Brook, Most of the things I wanted to say to you is already told to various posters above. I hope you will forgive me if I do not repeat them here and ask you to go there to read. Just few paragraphs to climb. Whatever I wrote in the first posting was with the hope that we will have an engaging debate on one of the most important question of the day. You wasted a good part of your reply by suspecting my intention and making wild speculations and what not. You also seem to have no memory of our previous discussions. Never mind. Let's focus on the substance of the debate and give less importance to our personality, identity and genetics (I was appalled with your speculation that I was provoking a family tree). You wrote: >The moral responsibility you want me to bear for G's future >actions is only but an illustration of the tools you use to >radicalize the views of those that don't chant your slogans. You are not entirely wrong here. >Therefore, I refuse your invitation to take sides This is confusing. Are you saying you are not siding with the King ? Then what was the fuss about ? >because either way it's the Nepali people that are dying Are you saving people by not taking any sides at this point of time ? No dear, you are saving yourself. That's all. >and I don't think the value of lives taken away by the King's >men are in any way more or less precious than the lives >that have been taken by the Maoists. True. >Nonetheless, you do have quite a reputation > here and I am glad that through your last >post you've shown the world that you are >living up to it. Bravo. Thanks. Hardcore republican that is. Will never deter.
