Dear Mr Chamaraj and other Moderators: I was very surprised, as well as disturbed to read all this .
An attack on the Group and its moderators which has been made public ! The content of the contributor looks generally Ok to me, but its wordings rather offensive and not in good taste , indicating arrogance and a sort of challenge to the Group . However, I hold you and the other Moderators responsible for it . Because clarifications from the contributor should have been sought via a private message/ direct email and his response should have been edited prior to posting/circulation. Moreover, I notice at the end instructions to the Moderators . I do not understand what the Group members have to do with it . An unprofessional approach, I must say . The Group moderators need to learn from the strict discipline imposed by the Administrator/Moderator of RTI portals such as www.rtiindia.org . I cannot imagine such kind of things happening there .

If mail is clearly read in detail , it is an Translation of an News item Appearing in a Leading News Paper being Published from Mangalore . The Editor of News Paper is Mr B V Seetharam who was unwarentedly haressed and Handcuffed by the Police in the case of Disappearance of a wife of an MLA from Udupi and her consequent death in New delhi . That apart , If you can spare some minutes and read the Mail sent by me you Will see in the Opening Paragraph Itself the Telephone numbers of the News Paper which for more berivity I reapat as City office 2410835 and Editorial 2405283 . Further and needless to state I have also Given to you a Post script at the End of the My Mail that i have the News Paper Clipping with me . The News Item has appeared in an News paper Registred with Registrar of News Papers and is Bound By PRB Act , Press council and Various Ethics and Self Imposed Dictacts of News papers and thier Editors and Publishers. It is for the purpoted affected people to file defamation suits on purpoted allegations of corruptions and not to an yahoo group , even if such a suit is initiated it will be proper for them to make me the originator of mail for which i have become already fully liabile and as an responsible and law abideing citizen it it now my responsibility to defend such suit when such a circumstance will crop up . Needless please also note that i have very valid supports to state i am not an rumor monger but is reffereing to an Article in an News paper Further the News item Speaks of an allegation Made by a Soverien citizen of India who has Excersied his Fundamental Right to Information. Further I am Not at all Aware or have been given to understand whether the News paper in which the Report/article has appeared has an Web Link and even if available can be accessed by you and me who are not their Subscribers (which rule Most News papers do follow) In final comment of your all pervasive Moderation which is beyond scope of the Transperancy Accountability and Public Participation and also the peamble of the RTI Act for which i understand that i am spending my time energy and personal resources , My Mail has already appeared in all the Other RTI groups Spread us the Country and must have by this time reached several thousands of RTI Activists , Crusaders , Users and also Several luminaries who have given thier life for the cause of RTI and we respect their Contributions . I would Singularly state i will in no way be harmed , hindered or the Cause of RTI will not be dented in any way if one minuscule group does not carry a replica of an News Item appearing in an Leading News paper with an Readership of several Lakhs I have also decided to Send my Reply above to all the All India Level RTI Groups for their Kind information and Needful pursuance , comments and suggestions and also further action N vikramsimha , Trustee RTI Study centreKRIA Katte , #12 Sumeru Sir M N Krishna Rao Road , Basvangudi < Bangalore 560004. --- On Fri, 3/7/09, Kathyayini Chamaraj <kchama...@gmail. com> wrote: > From: Kathyayini Chamaraj <kchama...@gmail. com> > Subject: Re: MODERATE -- vikramsimha54@ yahoo.co. in posted to kria > To: vikramsimha54@ yahoo.co. in > Cc: "Anil kumar" <anil_...@yahoo. com>, "Palyam Suresh" <pa...@rediffmail. > com> > Date: Friday, 3 July, 2009, 5:59 PM > Dear Mr. Vikram Simha, > Please give the link to the article that you are > quoting or cut and paste it into the message.
