Raise the Hammer

Please Mahesh,

I don't know what I ever did to you personally to deserve such incessant and inappropriate bitter personal attacks from you. The few times you did come into H+H, I greeted you graciously, as I have done every single time I have ever seen you on the street. For whatever reason, rather than simply disagreeing with my positions and offering your own counterpoints, you stoop to the kind of vitriol I would have guessed was beneath you. I can say honestly I have NEVER written anything of the sort you have chosen to write and to publish about me, although others have done so, including a few on this post.

Why do you hate me so much? Why are you so upset with the fact that I do what you do, share my views, opinions, ideas?

Honestly, I don't care if you agree with a single thing I have to say, but surely you can support my right to say it. Neither of us is a stupid person, although I sense you may disagree with me on this point too. I'm happy to have you be direct in your critique of my positions, but now you have actually made fun of the way I dress, you accuse me of revisionism, and you suggest I'm directing the Dissidents FB page, which not only did I not start nor do I administer, but of which I am only one of over 100 members, all of whom are free to, and most of whom do, offer their own views. I don't have followers, I have friends, and I don't mean of the FB variety. Why are you blaming me for harsh comments made to you by a person you don't even name? These are only the latest in a string of personal attacks against me made by you in your posts on various sites.

I'm not an elected official, nor are you. I'm a citizen, as are you. This, therefore, surely isn't political. For whatever reason you have made this entirely too personal. Perhaps you explain your too evident bitterness through your own words, "So, once again, we are left with no followers... damn!!" I think it might be time for some quiet reflection Mahesh.

If you'd like to talk about this face-to-face, my door at H+H is always open. I mean it. I really don't know what I've done to you. We have never had harsh words. Never.
