I think most of us have seen enough posts by Sthita-dhi prabhu to be able

to distinguish between when he's serious and when he's not. Before the

recent series of nasty letters, it seemed like everyone appreciated his dry

sense of humor and wit, but the tone of the conference has definitely

changed in the last few days.

 

I just don't understand how you can come barging into this conference, yell

profanities and hurl out accusations of the most serious kind and then act

all insulted when people gently poke fun at you or suggest counseling. You

sound like you feel misunderstood, but you're the one who accused Madhava

Gosh of participating in cow slaughter and neglect (which you have partly

retracted). You even criticize non-native speakers for their less than

perfect spelling, and then proceed to make spelling mistakes yourself.

 

Maybe you need to go and take a few deep breaths and count to ten a few

hundred times.

 

I have nothing against discussing animal abuse and neglect here, but the

way you went about it was a very destructive, not constructive process.

Your attitude (given that this is a concept you're fond of criticizing

others for) seemed to be much more one of revenge for making you feel

misunderstood (about the sannyasa non-issue) than one out of true concern

for cow welfare.

 

If your prime motive was to bring a situation to our attention, in which

cows were being abused, you could simply have done so, without dragging up

prior interpersonal interactions, other people's use of profanities etc.

 

According to Balabhadra's letter, there appears to have been some severe

neglect that may have resulted in preventable deaths. That's awful.

However, I also read he feels that the people who are currently involved

in NV cow protection are working very hard to rectify past mistakes and to

work with his office.

 

So what exactly is it that you're trying to convey here with your texts re

the NV cows?
