Susan,
the following you wrote is the very opposite of anything I have seen
written by Sen or heard him voice, so please provide any evidence
written in Sen's own hand to support your claim here.

Taking individual words of Sen's out of the context of a sentence, as
I hope you would realise, would not convince me of your claim.
If any of the 'reasons' you gave in the posting were the reasons the
House of Justice had or have against Sen's views, I think they would
not be afraid of stating this. They have not.
You are prefectly free to express your own opinions about what you
think of Sen's writing and your own objections to this are, but I
think it is not your place to claim what the House of Justice's
reasons are for removing him from the rolls.
Wouldn't it be better scholarship, surely, to refrute Sen's
argumentation by showing this from the Writings themselves?
