isolated, Yes, one well-known pro-democracy activist was verbally abused at a pro-king rally in Washington, DC. Later, he was rediculed by the (nuanced) monarchists right here in Sajha too in the thread pertaining to that rally. Still, the remark I quoted from an article in samudaya.org is very relevant whether or not some pro-democracy people faced harrassment at pro-king rallies or not. Let's read it again: "One would only hope that they have appreciated and enjoyed the right to dissent and that they would continue to use -- and eventually learn to love and realize the significance of -- such freedom." I think it makes a perfect sense to comment (in the way that Sarahana has done) on an irony of their (royalists) stance on supporting suppression of rights of thoe who oppose them while praticing those very rights themselves to make their voices heard. I don't think it matters whether pro-democracy people were harrassed at a pro-king rally or not. :)
