Ha ha Ugly_Gurlz_Rule - BC is one heckuva guy, isn't he? :) I dont always agree with him - politically I think he is too kind on the Monarchy and too harsh on the parties and then there all those articles he posts about doing/consuming god-knows-what .. he he ..and of course there is his legendary choice of words - LOL!! . But boy do I commend him for his outspokenness and lack of fear when it comes to exposing hypocricy . No matter whose hypocrisy it is - that of a politician in Nepal, an organization or a user on Sajha. I took a liking to the person behind the mask after I interacted with him on a thread about politics. Before that I used to wonder why is this guy so angry at everyone and everything - the whole thing with CAPS and expletives for example :P - and hoped he would not get in my way. That all seems so funny now that I have come to appreciate the value he brings to Sajha. This got the philosopher in me thinking about what is it about BC that makes him likable to some of us. I think it is his honesty and open mindedness more than anything else. I mean there are others who speak their minds too. But the difference is he is much more open to an opposing point of view than some of the other outspoken folks and generally does not approach an issue with prejudice At least that's what it seems to me based on what I have read of him. I may not have read everything he has written - and I am sure someone can point me to something that I will find disagreeable or even reprehensible :) - but I just couldn't miss the opportunity this thread provided to voice my own thoughts on his contribution to Sajha Aiight, enough of praises for him - I havent said so many good things about one person in a single day in a very long time :P :)
