Who could blame them? I thought it brave of HH Jayapataka Maharaja to venture out. Thank God that the voices on COM don't reflect the society as a whole. We would be in real trouble. It seems only the most strident ideologues remain on COM with some exceptions. Thankfully also there are a few conferences that seem relatively free of rancor, like Krsna Katha and Prabhupada Pastimes. Jokes too, as Balarama has a No-Crap policy.
