<!--QuoteBegin-narayanan+Feb 26 2005, 03:40 AM-->QUOTE(narayanan @ Feb 26 2005, 03:40 AM)<!--QuoteEBegin--> Unfortunately, all I got was a sullen silence - which proved that the reader had no valid gripe, and that of course put an ENTIRELY new light on his actions. So, after waiting several days, I kindly gave him a decent opportunity to retract, apologize etc.
<!--QuoteBegin--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Mr. Jayaram Venkatesan:
You have written to someone else (Editor of IndiaCause) accusing me of "falsely..." without first writing to me. In doing so, you made a conscious, deliberate choice to make a public accusation. Obviously, being in "higher education", you were quite capable of searching for my identity on the internet, so there is no excuse for not writing to me first, if you had honest concerns.
What you did is a direct personal attack and slander. Obviously both the Editor and I have the clear, irrefutable proof of that - no amount of website squirming by you and your AID netas can save your hide there.
Despite these facts being obvious to me, I treated you with courtesy and respect, and I have been extremely patient and generous in giving you plenty of opportunity explain yourself. We have now established that you had no basis for your slander. Further, when cornered and asked to explain your complaint, you compounded your folly by accusing me of "distortion" when the facts prove that I had taken the trouble to point the reader to the exact sources. There is no way to believe that you were unable to figure this out for yourself before you made such an accusation. Again, you have failed to retract when this was pointed out to you.
It appears that your email to the Editor of IndiaCause was intended to pressure them to consider your organization's so-called "Rebuttal" published without considering its merits and accuracy if any. In the process you deliberately and callously abused my integrity.
Such conduct is unacceptable, and cannot go unpunished. It may be that you were acting on behalf of your organization, since you are a listed office-bearer of AID Cincinnati. That makes you and your organization liable for your actions.
Your grossly unethical, hostile and malicious conduct has succeeded in erasing any goodwill I had towards your organization. Such conduct deserves to be exposed - the public needs to know what you and your organization represent in reality.
In view of your youth and apparent lack of good sense, I am giving you the opportunity to retract and apologize. I suggest that you take it while you have it - in other words, immediately. Be clear, please. Thanks.
