So please do not embarrass yourself anymore by writing something of this sort. We can easily see you are not able to properly debate here with VG pr, DK pr and others, so please don't try to pull on. We do understand your problem. Devotees will hopefully forgive you for the time they may have wasted in reading your texts, but now it's enough. You should have chosen someone from your own group to have the debate balanced. Don't you think so? I hope you can understand this much.
