Vishontar-jyu, Hehehe. I knew both agreement and disagreements are equally powerful to bond two people. Only indifference does not do that. Regarding our arguments, I never doubt about your compassion for any wounded PERSON. But this time around you were showing a compassion not to a wounded PERSON but to a wounded IDEOLOGY. Check the title of the thread. I just thought I need to point that out. I am sure I will be reading a lot from you in future. So I will remind you if and when I felt you mixing up objectivity and subjectivity. And your bonus question, what is science, brought me memory of my high school science teacher (he was a brilliant Madhesi teacher, by the way). Although our science textbook of any grade did not have definition of science for us to need to learn, the teacher taught us the definition- it was a very long sentence. And because it was in Nepali language, I gather he learned it from Hindi textbook. Okay, I am not bringing the whole definition here because that is not necessary to make the point I was trying to make when I objected the term's liberal use. So, for my point's sake, I'd say, what remains after satisfying all skepticism is science. My point was you can not present somebody's teachings as science when so many skepticism remain unsatisfied. That was all I was saying. Thank you once again for your inspiring civility, humility and enthusiasm. Nepe
