O' Baiti: Bwlw bhalne?
Long time no hear, long time feel darn bad. Couldn't help butting into your and sondon kai's verbal duels. Have been real busy around here. Usually I couldn't get into net-counseling and all unless it is a scheduled ask the LAS day. But taking the day off tomorrow. Wednesday you know? Got a Hillbilly County horse-shoe pitching tournament. Am a finalist. So I thought I'd spend a little time offering a few bits of professional advice tonight, even though I realize free advice usually does not carry much value. I wouldn't get angry with SK or his baam-ukil-like hair-splitting. You have to consider the *source* ( even though SK is a neighbouring village origin kharkhowa). You took the moral high ground on these debates effortlessly and are firmly dug-in ( forgive the war-metaphor, I know how you abhor violence). You are a credit to Texas ( Texas is big on moral high ground isn't it?). On the other hand look at SK and his ilk. They are apologists for terrorists and 'ghus-khurs. Everyboduy in Assam Net knows who is right and who is left, I mean wrong. THat is why I say, I won't get angry if I were you. And if I must, I would avoid the anger part, instead I would get even, like a true Texan would. W like. Good night Baiti. Peace! Dr T.
