Come now Joe. Such subjectivity and summary dismissal from your good self? This thread is none of my business and I'll leave it well alone from my trolling but I will say
@Shantanu_Left is a good bloke and it would reflect poorly if such sweeping statements are made about him that are construed beyond the realm of mere jest.
First, this thread is VERY MUCH your business, indeed, of every member who wants a civilised discussion conducted reasonably, without abuse and vilification and getting into the gutter. You might hate my country, and my co-religionists, and what we are doing in Kashmir and how we are projecting it in the world; I might smile wryly at the repeated aggression and military attacks, overt and covert, that we have had to suffer as a nation. Is there any reason why that can't be said to each other without raising our parentage?
As for
@Shantanu_Left, he is the founder of this group that decided to follow a self-imposed code and he remains that. HOWEVER, our joining this initiative doesn't mean that we parked our views at the door and walked in. If we differ, we can say we do differ. That's all I'm doing, telling him that getting others to pretend they are Indian is NOT kosher.
I was dead serious about that, and continue to be. It does not affect his status and standing in any way; it was an expression of my personal view on the subject.
Firstly, you are the initiator (founder) of the code so my post on calling the overzealous participant as the founder was incorrect.
Parallel Agenda (or the hijacking) of the code had become clear to me after a few dozen pages in. So a few recommendations along with testers were thrown in and I did say at one point that this is turning out to be Gandhiites v Modiites exercise .. and in this thread we have seen the confirmation of this intention by one major contributor to the code. Needless to say, it is now clear to you as well.
I wish the sincere amongst you all the best to maintain a standard for yourselves.
LOL.
Why the Freddie Uncle and all the rest of it didn't you say so in the first place? Welcome back, and allow us to cuss you into the ground, in every civilised way.
Pakistani members are welcome to comment; anything that corrects us is good, no matter where it comes from.
Just to clarify, there are Modi-ites in our group; I don't have anything to say about that with regard to their accepting the code as a voluntary thing. You must have seen that I object violently to Modi and his directions in government. Why I have nothing to say about those who have agreed to the code is that the two things are different.
