I personally don't think that Ashu is a royalist. I think it's quite the contrary. But looks to me that the problem is that in his quest to prove himself distinctly special and right all the time, Ashu has ended up disagreeing with some of the fundamental ideals that even he shares. With little misinterpretations and his wasted defense [to prove Nepe and others stupid], he has now put himself in a difficult position with some of Sajha's democracy proponents seeing him as their strategic opponent in this debate. As for the real life Ashutosh Tiwari vs. Ashu, it looks to me that he often and deliberately tries to draw people to Ashutosh Tiwari through his postings. This obviously has risks, and he should be aware of it. If you do not wish to keep the two separate, people are going to comment on either (whichever they find convenient). But when people start critiquing Ashutosh Tiwari, he objects to it and says it doesn't have to be about him and such... So I think it would be really useful if Ashu changed his ID and mentioned of no association with Ashutosh Tiwari. Otherwise, it's really easy for his sajha critics to inadvertently encroach into his real-life personal space and piss him off, as much as they wouldn't like to. I am sure Ashu is well aware of this and prefers to leave it this way. To him, the advantages of this perhaps outweigh the occasional personal assaults? I don't know... So people who try to object to his real-life character being attacked need to realize that, yes it is a very sad thing, but Ashu can keep this from happening if he chooses. Use a nickname, just like many of us here do.
