Reggie , welcome to IF.
Bhootnath, the point about not making comments w.r.t what happened in another forum (unless it is directly referred to here by an admin of the other forum) is that we cannot influence what happens in another forum. As it is there is an undercurrent of ill feeling towards the other forum mainly because many of us have either been expelled or have been threatened with expulsion or have been treated with discourtesy at one time or another. We do not think it is useful to exacerbate this ill feeling.
I happen to believe that the example and comparison you gave between Dr. Tim Hoyt and Dr.K, and the relative treatment they received is a valid one, but we cannot settle this in this forum. The Gora chamda syndrome is part of the Indian psyche and even now occasionally shows up as a freudian slip among otherwise educated people. Well enough said.
We look forward to many informative posts from you and value your membership. Let us not dwell on the other forum but do what is best for this forum.
