*** Do you think, perhaps they are fearful of 
what we might do to them? You know, post-Bamian 
'terrorism' and stuff?

But really, it is not a 'puzzle' at all: You know 
why? It is because MOST, if not all, Assam 
Netters are very bright people.They may not say 
much, but they are about as good as any in the 
world if not better. They are also, by and large, 
SOPHISTICATED people. They do not  indulge in 
PERSONAL ATTACKS , particularly of the kind that 
you specialize in. They realize, unlike you for 
example,  that anyone can claim anything against 
anyone they have a bone to pick with. But none of 
us are in a position to judge the merits of such 
accusations and counter-accusations. This is a 
forum, by and large, for discussing issues 
involving Assam. It is not a court of law. And 
certainly it is not a fish-market. Too bad you do 
not realize that you are attempting to turn this 
forum into exactly that. You cannot see what 
stares you in the face. Your uncouth and crass 
personal crusades against individuals could be 
matched only one  other here--the one I call the 
'seraa-boliya'. But the 'seraa-boliya' could be 
given a little leeway because he is obviously 
mentally challenged.

What is YOUR excuse?

You don't get much response, because people can 
see how dumb some of your arguments are. For 
example :

>Demolishing of Bamiyan Buddha in Afghanistan on 
>March 11, 2001, a precursor  of 911, is a 
>well-known tradition of >Islamic supporters. Mr. 
>Chandan Mahanta demolished the ATAN BURAGOHAIN 
>SAKO even "before" it was built !

Do you think anyone with half a working brain will buy this kind of garbage?
Even the most simple-minded can tell that the 
sole purpose of these kind of mud-slinging are 
revenge for criticisms of the proposals you 
floated here. They could see your carefully 
cultivated vedic-piety, your love for all 
humanity, your decades old and 
ever-so-dear-friendship with Mukul Mahanta flying 
right out the window in the face of criticisms of 
your views and exposure of your not-so-well 
camouflaged agenda.

Fortunately this is not a forum for personal 
aggrandizement. It is not a beauty contest here. 
We debate things passionately, but remain friends 
and mutually respectful -- most of us that is. 
You, sir, along with that other malcontent, are 
the exceptions.

We learn from better examples set by others. 
Often the examples are subtle. Unfortunately 
subtleties don't register on certain people, 
particularly on those who are so intent on 
preaching that they can't hear ( or see) what is 
going on. They need a hit on the head with a two 
by four ( for those who are unfamiliar with the 
term: It is a piece of lumber of 2"X4" cross 
section) to be woken up. That is why I decided to 
deliver this, unpleasant as it is to have to do 
so. Hope you will notice. It is never too late to 
learn, never-mind those old Oxomiya fokoras " 
burha xaalikai maat noloy" or " swre nere swr 
porkiti, kukure nere sai, jar ji porkiti, morilew 
logote jai".

We will be looking forward to engaging with a 
reformed and freshly sensitized Himendra Thakur. 
Is that a deal?
