Yeah, he transgressed the rules, but that is his habit.
Rules are for us to respect, not for that old man. :DNow that is a direct insult. My reply: :(

OP rule breaking here....
Not about you.
Your thread is fine as frog's hair.

Actually, my other post also broke a rule.
I'm OK with pedants.

Dang it....you should report me.
I deserve extreme sanctions.

I'm bad at this.

Neti-neti as you know is the most important err.. (what should I call it) stance in Hinduism, 'what you do not accept'. You can mention only one thing in one post according to what you think is the most important. After mentioning your point, you may, if you like can give a reason that why you think so.

No. I still have an explanation left.

“For instance, I’m an Indian. Now, let’s suppose that I’m a prisoner of war in Pakistan, and they say to me, “Well, today we’re going to take you to the frontier, and you’re going to take a look at your country.” So they bring me to the frontier, and I look across the border, and I think, “Oh, my country, my beautiful country. I see villages and trees and hills. This is my own, my native land!” After a while one of the guards says, “Excuse me, we’ve made a mistake here. We have to move up another ten miles.” What was I reacting to? Nothing. I kept focusing on a word, India. But trees are not India; trees are trees. In fact, there are no frontiers or boundaries. They were put there by the human mind; generally by stupid, avaricious politicians. My country was one country once upon a time; it’s four now. If we don’t watch out it might be six. Then we’ll have six flags, six armies. That’s why you’ll never catch me saluting a flag. I abhor all national flags because they are idols. What are we saluting? I salute humanity, not a flag with an army around it.”

This is utter foolishness that this person ate from this country and did not salute the country's flag. This would be a crime today if he would not respect the flag. Perhaps his love was somewhere else and not for India. He was a traitor to India. If there are people like him, India would be divided in a 100 pieces. That is what the 'Tukde-tukde' gang is. Who says that you disrespect humanity, but for an Indian loving India over all others is the call of duty.
