(1) First off Nas's assertion that your writing is libelous reminds me of the cliche "those in glass houses should not throw stones at others". If I were your lawyer, I would say bring it on. Harassment, causing emotional distress, coercion and, depending on which state you live in , internet bullying, lewd conduct in public places, unlawful distribution of internet pornography are just a few of the charges *you* could press. Get a good lawyer and they will probably come up with a litany of civil and criminal charges. There is a mountain of self-incriminating evidence lying around this place. I would suggest you start documenting and saving these threads before they are deleted in case you want to sue at a later point.
(2) One Nepali man is not representative of all Nepalese men and it is unfair to drag all Nepali men into this. That's what I meant by a balanced view in my previous post. It would be would be wrong to say Nepali women are biatches if one of them is found cheating on her lover and the other women don't jump in to stone or lynch her. All Nepali men are not chauvinists, depraved or perverted because of one person. Despicable as Nas is, I feel you should not judge men -- Nepali and non-Nepali -- through the lenses of his behavior.
(3) Sadly, there are men disrespecting women (and vice versa) in every society including in the US. It's not a uniquely Nepali problem and willfully demeaning others is wrong no matter where it happens. The reason I chose to post on this thread was because I admired your guts. You believed something was wrong. You spoke from the courage of your convictions and were willing to face humiliation and abuse to make your voice heard. Many on Sajha may not speak up and admit it but I am convinced you have earned a lot of respect in the last couple of days by fearlessly and relentlessly standing up for your beliefs.
(4) Your characterization of Nas as an extraordinary Harley-riding hunk with a couple side-kicks made me chuckle. I wonder if you would feel the same way about his behaviour if you saw him the way I do. I see him as anything but that.
