bibas 100, OK, so he's a "loser". Fine. BUT the point is: In a democracy, even "losers" have a right to free speech, so long as they -- and they alone -- are taking all the risks and rewards for their actions. Now, just because they have a right to free speech that does NOT mean that they are right/correct and all that. It just means just that: that they can stand on their soapbox, and fight the windmills for all they want. How difficult is it to accept this fact? I, for one, have no problem reading some of his blog postings (if they are particularly provocative and interesting) and IGNORING the most (for lack of time, interest, etc). I would NOT see him as a powerful, destabilizing force in Nepal in any way! So, let and let live. Tetti ho. oohi ashu
