Echoes, You have changed your tone from pro-baburam/pro-maobadi to a neutral position. I have no problem with either of them and all I ask is to look at other sides as well. I also have friends/relatives divided not just on both issues but on all issues. >> richer, with lucrative government jobs and such are on the side of the king, and the poorer, less fortunate favor the maoists - I am a middle class citizen so where do I fall? I dont come to sajha to say what I say is right and what others say are wrong. I come come here to learn diverse opinions, learn and grow. >> So I don't support either side. I want it my own way... -Kudos to you. This is the sign that my Nepal will be out of its crisis, sooner that I thought. Once people know what they want there is no one to stop them. >> I try hard to read the facts and to make informed remarks--whether they're in line with or against either side of the war -Again appreciate your thoughtfulness. >>so just because I don't agree with you, you can't call me names. -No I did not call you names. When did I? Please refer to your statements again in the previous post. You were speaking on Baburams' behalf; now you have clarified that you are not associated with maobadis, I am relieved. :-) >> So if you got a problem with it, then shut the fk up. I don't even like you, anyway... -No I do not have a problem when you look at all the facts but I do have a problem when you take the killers side and standup for it. I can voice my concern when I disagree with you or anyone. That's why I come here to agree or disagree on various issues. If you do not like diverse opinion, or the opinion which is different than you than you should not voice them. I am glad that you do not like me. I hope you will keep it that way. I like people who dislike me. People who dislike me give me honest opinion. :-) -Shiv
