Nepe Ji, I really don't want to single you out as the only member of the forum to bear the brunt of the vitriol here on Sajha, but, allow me to clarify my point: I at no time indicated that I wanted to FORCE the members of the forum to accept the democratic process but, for an organization that wants to have a prominent role and assume the mantle of speaking for the "Nepali People" surely, they have a moral obligation to entertain notions/opinions that are different to the ones they hold? They may not necessarily agree with them, but not agreeing with an opinion vs. banning them outright (explicit or tacit) is very different. A culture of imposed silence which is in place because of acknowledgement that it is likely to ruffle feathers is not a very democratic process - I don't intend to force change but would acknowledging that people have different opinions be the end of the forum?
