Salil, I completely agree with you here.

I don't see what is annoying about Sumeet's message - he uses the slang gayism - one may rant all one wants - but it happens to be slang in the indian gay community - if you had instead educated him about why its not a good idea to use the suffix "ism", that would be constructive. As things stand, you end up sounding like a dowdy grammar teacher and sumeet will continue to say gayism :) Its also difficult to understand why one should be annoyed with Sumeet because he is scared of the Shiv Sena and overestimates its influence. I appreciate the hard facts you have thrown in about the Sena angle - but why get hysterical and suspect that his simple fear is a mask for a supposed mental struggle with exploring his sexuality, and worst of all, why allege that he "pretends" to be afraid - he may really be afraid, in which case getting annoyed is of frankly no use to anyone !
