A LETTER TO A MEMBER REMINDING SOME IMPERATIVES THAT OUGHT TO BIND ONE ENGAGED IN COMMENTING

A LETTER TO A MEMBER REMINDING SOME IMPERATIVES THAT OUGHT TO BIND ONE ENGAGED IN COMMENTING 

Dear Asit Guin, 

Is this the forum for propaganda of your own fanciful theory stated in so-called reasonable terms but, in essence, repetitious refrain of the same stuff couched in exactly the same words? You keep on posting a fixed text in the form of comment, attempting in the process to substantiate your claim about Netaji's disappearance and death in a certain way without even bothering to engage in any other deliberation about the great son of the soil. And your use of the word 'SOLD' is distasteful to a degree. Please desist from this practice of continuous commenting of the same old text, irrelevant as it is for most of the posts where you append them, if you do not wish to be excluded from this group on grounds of indecorous behaviour and unsubstantiated propaganda along your self-selected line about a great personality and his great ally in Japan but for whom we would never have gained our independence. 

I hope you understand that positing theory is fine, provided it is based on (a) documentary evidence with proper references of file no. etc., (b) book sources with mention of name, author's name and particular page no. from where data is gleaned and referred to and, at the least, (c) sound reasoning on the basis of historical facts and figures. Personal predilections we all have towards one theory or the other about Netaji's disappearance but most of us desist from vociferous campaigning of our views thus when we are without credible evidence to substantiate them. And I request you to exercise the same degree of restraint as well. 

This, then, is my stated position as administrator of this group and I exhort you to maintain the seriousness and sanctity of this page dedicated to the patriot perennial by refraining from continuous campaigning along your selfsame line as you have thus far been wont to doing. This, indeed, will be a service rendered unto all for it will remove an irritant in every post by way of your copy-pasted constant comment. 

Thanking you and hoping to hear from you by way of response along a differently worded comment and expecting more fruitful participation from you in every other deliberation about the hero as well, 

I remain, 
Yours in the revolutionaries for freedom, 
Sugata Bose (administrator).
