No, I didn't ask you why you found him annoying, which
reasons are obvious to myself who's surely complained
to this list about Mayuresh more times and at greater
length than any other member. He once even posted to
the IndianCivilization list an obscene suggestion about
my mother, so obviously I harbor no great love for the
man.
What I stated, not asked, was that your attacks on him
take an inappropriately racial form, with comments like
"chillum and charas", "Kelkawallah", and, worst of all
"Babu", which is an American racial slur used to refer
to Indians, I'm sure you know. It is with my Indian
friends in mind, and their comfort on this list, that I
cringe at your comments, not for the sake of Mayuresh.
Finally, you heaped scorn on Koenraad's head, a man who,
you probably don't realize, has complained several times
in the past himself about Mayuresh and his methods, his
complaints including just about every item you mentioned
yourself, and many more. For a sample of which see
