YOU WERE RIGHT, MY FRIEND. THIS ERRANT ONE IS MORE TOXIC IN TALK THAN SCHOLAR


YOU WERE RIGHT, MY FRIEND. THIS ERRANT ONE IS MORE TOXIC IN TALK THAN SCHOLAR

You were right. My later encounter with him (an errant member turned toxic in talks) has been rather sour which precipitated into what could have been a confrontation but was prevented by my excluding the said person from this group. I have written an elaborate article on the same as you must have read on this group page where I have deliberated on this issue at length.

What the gentleman attempted was a rather caustic exhibition of pseudo-superior wisdom and a sort of snubbing-the-inferior-type attitude which was most unbecoming and unwelcome on this page of patriotic preference. This is no page where one may give vent to communal castigation on others with no substantive basis to the allegations levelled nor is this a forum where one may keep scouting for stray members for one's own administered group. This is in intent a more refined page for presentation of facts without malice against any member or the attempt to gain in a quick popularity by pretending to be the granddad of us all in so far as knowledge of facts about Netaji and the Indian revolution is concerned.

I am not a person so weak as to harbour such truant affiliates to this group and have, consequently, after much forbearance of unfounded allegations directly levelled against me and my co-members, made a rare use of this discretionary power as administrator to ban the aforesaid one from this group.

You were right, I ought to admit in hindsight, to have pointed out my apparent folly in giving one more respect than was, perhaps, due to him. However, my stand remains at where it stood earlier and I still maintain that here we are equals and must democratically build up this group for the furtherance of the cause of our beloved leader, a feat which we already have to not an inconsiderable extent achieved and contributed to the national resurgence on Netaji.

All those who shall lend their time and effort to furthering the cause are the blessed children of the motherland and they shall work free of egotism and pride in service to the mission. As for those who shall hinder the cause for the fulfilment of petty self-interest, they shall meet in this administrator, otherwise affable to a fault, a formidable foe and it is most meet that such unseemly episodes rarely come to the fore.
