Not only, to me as well. My personal feeling is that the problems with

falling gurus is a very delicate issue in a sense that it always (and

unfortunately) involves two sides: the guru and the disciples. If one

*really* has something to say about fallen guru in public he cannot forget

his words will go directly to the hearts of his disciples, especially when

the affair is still new. And when the words are ill motivated they will

obviously hurt them. To be deprived of this understanding displays nothing

but hard-heartedness and complete lack of compassion.

 

After all, having ones own fallen guru does not award the freedom to

publicly criticize another one.
