NK, About the permit, you do the homework -- you can't expect me to abet my opponoents now, do you? ;) Some of the people who rally against the King MAY be pro-Maoists. But many others who call for demcoracy in Nepal aren't necessarily so. I, for one, have been explicit on my thoughts about putting an end to Maoist violence too. I may hold differing views from KG and his supporters on HOW to do so, but I would be surprised if anyone questions my motives against the Maoists. If you call me pro-Maoist, therefore, you'd be gravely mistaken. On the other hand, you have exhibited explicit support for the King. For the time being, you may say, but a support is there, regardless of how long it is meant for. Therefore, I do not see anything wrong with calling you who you are, a pro-King. No negative implications there, just the fact about who I have perceived you to be vis-a-vis your views. Now, if I may have misread some things that you've written, I stand corrected.
