Actually for SP disciples it is not a problem since SP is their Guru, actually I feel that in we sometimes neglected to glorify SP enough and the stress was too much on the guru alone, now the GBC resolution has solved this in some way. Still I think that more then to hide the gurus name, one should not propagate his realisations and private feelings about the gurus publically, but in the circle of like minded and mature devotees. Before some devotees spoke this things just publically, what upset some others. I think we have also to become more mature as Society in general. I actually do not understand if one glorifies SP without his servants what can be wrong only should be in a mature way and without some fanatism.
