Dear Ramakanta Prabhu,

PAMHO, AGTSP,

Ok then, that will certainly speed things along. Of course if you do not

comment then readers may think it is because you cannot refute my arguments,

but I guess that’s a risk you are prepared to take. On past performance you

are certainly safer just not commenting. So here is my next reply to another

accusation you made.

 

You wanted an apology:

 

> You publicly accused me to have claimed that ISKCON existed before it

> existed

 

So far as the English language is concerned that is certainly the

implication of what you wrote below:

 

> Note that although ISKCON has been incorporated in 1966, it already

> existed in 1965.

You are making a statement here, not asking me a question. There is no

question mark, see!

 

Clearly ISKCON could not exist BEFORE it was ‘incorporated’ since it is only

at the point of incorporation that a society exists. But you clearly argue:

“it already existed in 1965”. You asked who taught me English, well whoever

taught you I would go back and demand a full refund. So no apology there I’m

afraid.

 

“it already existed in 1965.” Ramakanta das

 

If you offer no objection to the above rebuttal I shall move to the next

point.

Best wishes
