Santosh, I would like to point out that we all are creatures of habit
and politics. So, when someone who agrees with out ideological
perspective speaks out, we applaud. It's a reflection of our own
politics and bias, even if Scientific!
So what you say may be true from *your* perspective. Others would
obviously judge things differently.
Likewise, I disagree with Mario Gouveia when he calls those whom he
does not agree with a "cabal". Rather than calling for a block on
certain views on Goanet (which remains committed to free speech),
those who dislike those views should attempt to clearly, honestly and
without getting into a tizzy refute the same.
Sorry, I don't think censorship of any perspective is the solution.
On the other hand, the job of countering any perspective is the onus
of those who disagree with it. Otherwise, we'll end up with a
situation like in the past: people quit Goanet after being outargued
and accused "Goanet" of cursing them! Of course, some of them are back
now... despite repeated pledges "not to post to Goanet". FN
PS: If you think the above post contains flame-baits (which I think it
does), please ignore the same :-)
