Wow! What a drag! I thought this thread was about TND... instead again its all about a couple of people battling it out about the same old shit again. Nepe...can you please stop cutting and pasting crap from other threads, forums, personal emails, and other sites. Can't you just put a link if you HAVE to? And can't you ever keep to the topic and show some respect to the topic at hand. If you want to start your own thread, go ahead, but it would be kind of nice for a change if you could keep your meglomania in check enough to refrain from harping on the same shit in every frigging thread! YES, we know you are a "republilcan!" and you abhor anyone who does not agree with you, especially if they are not die hard "republican." Yes, we know you have no qualms about outing people. Yes, we know, we know. We even know that once you acted on some third rate Nepali production and yes, we know you are a supposed poet who writes mediocre verse. This cult of personality has to stop somewhere!! You ARE a flame thrower! Going back to the original post and the questions you posed, Ashu: I think this thread evidences what seems to be a fundemantal flaw in the Nepali character, or maybe I should avoid hyperbole and say simply - a common Nepali characteristics - is the inability/unwillingness to deal with conflict. Dor Bahadur Bista's seminal book lays out about our Jagir culture, our culture of patronage. I think this is an extension of that phenomenon. People just want to kiss ass to their own, any differnce in opinion usually disintegrates to accusations, libels, and name calling. People are at one hand groveling to play nice and if there is a fall out, its the total pariah treatment. :) Anyway, interesting enough thread and questions, but boy, someone put a muzzle ont that boy!
