Ashu, I have seen AcNielsen survey cited in various places by various people including you, and, Nepe happens to be the first and only person to show and explain where it fails in scientific rigor. And every word I said about the survey passes the scientific rigor too. I have been very careful and specific about it. I said two things 1. Q. 26 is a "leading" question. That makes it's data questionable. Nothing more, nothing less. 2. You can't claim an answer to the question you did not ask. Therefore, Sharma and Sen's concluding statement " The people overwhelmingly REJECT republicanism" is a prejudiced one. Nothing more, nothing less. So where the #&%#$# is my "utterly unscientific temperament" here ? My note that TREND is more informative than SNAPSHOT had nothing to do with Sudhindra Sharma and Pawan Kumar Sen, although I can make a point that, yes, you can get information about the TREND from a single survey if your objective is so. If Ashutosh Tiwari does not know it and wants to learns how, I can give a tutorial right here free of cost. Want it ? I was making that point not to Sharma and Sen, but to 18 intellectuals of North American diaspora, namely Dharma Acharya, Ph.D.; Ambika Adhikari, Ph.D.; Roger Adhikari; Gaury Adhikary, MD; Pramod Aryal, Ph.D.; Alok K. Bohara, Ph.D.; Girija Gautam; Shiva Gautam, Ph.D.; Madhu Ghimire, MD; Naresh Koirala; Shambhu Lama; Anup Pahari, Ph.D.; Mallika Shakya; Arun Sharma; Vijaya Sharma, Ph.D.; Puru Subedi; Sharda Jung Thapa; and Suman Timsina, for their static view on republicanism in a document titled "A CALL FOR A DEMOCRATIC MIDDLE GROUND: A Perspective from the North American Diaspora" - http://www.liberaldemocracynepal.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=89&Itemid=0 - http://www.freenepal.org:8080/FreeNepal/action/discussion.do;jsessionid=F01D7ACE1E93BFD2E6FC87929BF7EBF7?currentContentId=56 - http://www.blog.com.np/index.php?p=473 I got very positive response, actually applaud for my scientific temperament, from the writers active in the discussion group. Here is Ashu swearing the opposite. Keep up the good work buddy. *** *** *** Ashu has alleged, to my great pleasure, I must say, that I abused Kul Chandra Gautam's UN credential and used it as intimidating tactics to promote republicanism. May be I did. But my conversation with Kul Chandra Gautam-jee did not give me impression that he feels it that way. *** *** *** Now, there is one thing Ashu suddenly stopped talking about. Let us have some fun at Ashu's expense. Regular Sajhaites know that Ashu has been making a fool out of himself in Sajha by denying that "student Referendum on Monarchy" ever happened in Nepal. He has been claiming that the data I posted in Sajha was a false news manufactured by Drishti Weekly. In my posting above, I gave a link to another false news agency which did the same thing, manufactured a false news about the Student Referendum and, more importantly, reported that the overwhelming majority of the students voted for Republicanism. And the news agency ? The Kathmandu Post. Wink wink ! Nepe Rejoicing yellow journalism of The Kathmandu Post and Drishti . .
