Silent reader ji, You can always rely on Nepe for his brutal honesty and deadly frankness. That is all I can avouch. As forthe mannerism, although I am an old dog, I believe I still can learn new tricks provided I find a good trainer. I agree with you that hostility brings the worst in a person and humility does the opposite. That said, frankly speaking, I neither believe that I am qualified nor I am really in a mission to bring the best in every kind of people in Sajha. Sajha is a small fraction of my weekly and sometimes monthly routine and in the time I can afford, expressing my own views, as I said, with a brutal honesty and deadly frankness, gets priority over any other unselfish jobs. Yet, I believe that I have been always careful to reciprocate politeness with more politeness and hostility with less hostility or, if they are trivial to me, with the policy of 'ignore it'. This very thread should illustrate these things to you. If there have been occasions where I have slipped, as I said earlier, I will appreciate if you could remind them to me. For some reason, you chose to keep repeating the allegation that I do not reciprocate politeness with politeness, without producing the 'evidence' ! And also, you failed to admit that your assertion that I have chased away somebody from Sajha was actually your assumption rather than an inside knowledge. FYI, the poster you most likey were talking about is still active in Sajha. Finally, I appreciate the fact that you chose me, of all diverse posters of Sajha, to share your words of wisdom and start posting in Sajha after being a silent reader for a long time. I welcome you on behalf of all posters in Sajha and look forward to having more interesting conversations in future.
