Ashu, It is interesting to see how your argument changes as it progresses. You flip-flop faster than Kerry has managed to do. This single thread is enough to illustrate that. First you came here to deny that you have never said the things I said you said. Then you changed your position and said, yes you had posted that humor piece in Sajha. Next, you boasted that this time around you have dared to take on the King. When I challenged you to show exactly how, you said, Nah I'm not gonna tell ya. Then you said Okay go find the last page of Kantipur Daily of certain date and there I should find the proof of the pudding and a witness as well. Now you are asking to let youself remain obscure and unchallanged, you have objection to this one-man committee. When you are weak, you have objection to this one-man committee. When you thought you were strong you defended yourself bringing evidences from everywhere very enthusiastically. Go read the thread 'I want my NTV'. You were so disparate to prove to me, this one-man committee then and now, that you have guts to take on the palace. I have not found you showing political ambitions like that of John Kerry. But that does not mean we can not learn a thing or two from his life. No ? If you are with me on this, then the most important thing relevant to some of your arguments here is that a large number of professional scientists were among those who did not vote for Kerry for political reasons. These scientists who are supposed to have "exposed to a plurality of conflicting ideas" did not find Kerry's PLURALITY OF CONFLICTING IDEAS fine, much less rewardable !! This much on this. However, Ashu, I want to reiterate that I have not taken your obscurity or rather your expressed desire to remain obscure in the matter related to the monarchy in a negative light. These are very positive signs to me. My prediction that someday you are going to be a hardcore republicans like myself actually is based on your flexibility as indicated by these obscurities. My occasional challanging you is actually testing where a potential republican is in the process of becoming one. You might not find it pleasant to yourself, but to me, a self-styled pro-republican cyber activist, this job is a part of my duties- making small small contributions to a great cause. Bear with me, sir. ************ Confused, It is good to see your interest in the debating points going on here. Otherwise I have seen you often confusing Sajha as a toilet to piss dirty words. Sorry, could not resist to take this opportunity to remind you that you should not piss on your dinner plate. I hope you will not be offended by this and get distracted. As I said I appreciate your decent participation in the discussion. You wrote: ...what is Pathetic, this statement made about maoists " And that loss is continually increasing- to our great relief. " or this statement " their physical strength is increasing day by day" and both stated by Nepe. SO yes, i Think your Pathetic. Now, allow me to clear your confusion. Actually there is no confusion. Rather, there is a refusal on your part to look at the realities on the ground. Yes, you are right these two opposing things are happening at the same time on the ground of Nepal. Yes the visible emergence of the pro-democratic civil society and the youth is a loss to the strength of the Maoists as I explained earlier. However, it has not reached to the desired level at which things like, let's say, massive defection of the Maoist cadres to the democratic side shall take place. This time will come, however. And you will see only a handful of war criminals and silly leaders will remain on the totalitarian side and as I said earlier they will be reduced at most (that in case they continue their guerrilla warfare) to a nuisance that we can live with.
