When I joined this list I noted how nicely discussion

is going which was different from other forums where

I've been. Then I saw that we have nice moderation by

Krishna Susarla prabhu and I thought how nice it was.

I'm not a phylosophical type and often I can't follow

all of you when you cite shastra, discuss some

complicated topics and so on, but I could see that it

is going nicely, in Vaisnava manner. I've seen some

posts that are completely out of Vaisnava

understanding of phylosophy, yet they were accepted

nicely with intention to discuss politely about it. I

think that this month I will stop reading the posts

because I'm afraid to read just anything and

everything which someone's mind is wishing to express.

It's like consciously going to a market place and

indulge in talks. Of course, people who come here are

not ordinary market-place people and here it will be

some moderation, but I don't think it is enough just

to ban advertisements, marketing, open blasphemy and

so on (more knowledge we have, we are potentially more

dangerous for our environment and for ourselves if we

misuse that knowledge). My perspective is, excuse me

if I'm wrong, that moderation is needed and that

person who is keeping one forum like this have the

responsibilty to do it consciously and fairly. This is

a powerful way to influence people'e life and that

brings responsibility which is sometimes not at all

easy (as we can see in our Krishna Susarla prabhu's

example). I also have service in my community where I

have certain responsibilities which deal with other

people and sometimes is everything but pleasing to my

senses, sometimes is very hard, but I've taken it, or

better to say, I'm trying to take that as my life and

to do it the best I can and to really see that's

Krsna's arrangement for my purification. So I don't

see why should moderation be given up for this one

month, for everyone, without exceptions. And I would

like to humbly ask Vaisnavas on this forum to give

their full support to Krishna Susarla prabhu in this

hard task that he is performing. It is nice to be well

versed in phylosophy of Krsna consciousness, but our

main goal is to live that phylosophy and become real

devotees with heart melted with love of Godhead and it

would be nice if our hearts could start to melt with

love for devotees.

If someone doesn't like moderation policy, maybe that

person should try to find some other forum where there

is no moderation.

your servant
