i am not opting out but decide to remain silent for one month.It is true that there is no need to talk so much simply because technology fascilitates it.[ How I love those pre 'mobile' phone days!!]
One last comment. The explicit anti intellectual comment in Baiju's [asianet] as well as the softer version in C.K.Raju's mail , to my mind, is dangerous. A much harder version of it prompted Sivasainiks and Hindutwa forces to react in Baroda as well as against M.F.Hussain, Deepa Mehtha etal. more stronger version was practiced by Natzis. Intellectuals are a minority too!! [ I am afraid, In kErala where softer versions of anti intellectualism are in wide circulation , these sort of reactions will get plenty of takers but it is suicidal for a healthy community] On 6/13/07, doxa <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > democratically oriented moderation.. > > Anivar, > A framework is called for.
