The power of open forum is visible here. That is why I hate to join these closed forums. There the forum owner has monopoly to twist your postings. I did not like the idea of deleting the original charges on Texas organisers as posted by ChyarekoDokan. Well, Sajha ko Raja, San wanted to show some kindness to these both parties... so we have sacrificed what we believed on Sajha.com's openness. Sometime it has to be done, and done-dona-done... King G le des lai nilne abastha ma Sajha ma San le civility rakhne pryash la appreciate garnu parcha. That was probably a bold step ................. Now, Shukla writes: Contact the convention organizers (next year it will be in NYC area), or contact us at ANA. My suggest to Sajahities is that when you write just don't write a private letter to convention organizers.... send a CC or BCC to Sajha.com, so that we can realize what you proposed and what has been done appreciating your recommendations. When you write quitely, I have found several times that our Nepali mentality is to file these recommendations ..... in a corner and do what the power rangers like to do... the mindset they already have. You should recommend, but if your recommendation just goes into file never brought into action, then its better to publish here, at least the readers will know that it was recommended. If its public, it might be used by someone else.... So, your CC or BCC copies are always read by someone out here. Otherwise, it will be the settlement between Michael Jacson and the kids in 1990s .... no one knos whether Jackson is guilty or not guilty........... As Ashu advocates sometime here that publicly tested / publicly grilled. CKD 's charge came and it was in peak time, CKD and Texas organizers scared of public grilling and settled in private? Do you really believe Jackson owes the same respect as he had before the scandal broke out? Do you belive CKD and Texans 's claim of being settled a public matter in private room? Whatever. Now, if your recommendations and issues are genuine, raise in public they get more weight than raising in private. You raise in private, it will be settled ... using "FLATTER" tricks... as a human being you will lose your strength, your boldness and genuine effort ... alll will go in vain. DO NOT INTIMIDATE, just remain professional, no personal ... as long as you are on public issues. Thats the difference between developed world and underdeveloped world. INTIMIDATION is poison and it will kill you. Look at the CKD vs Texan orgganizer .... both intimidated and deprived us knowing how they settled when the issue looked purely public. I am not UKSAING (provoking) to any one.... Telling you the truth. If you are scared of being intimidated, remain anonymous. eNeka
