Guest guest Posted November 21, 1999 Report Share Posted November 21, 1999 Let me emphatically state that under no circumstances, so far I am moderating the Granddisciples conference, will I let texts which, indirectly or directly challenge Srila Prabhupada, appear on Granddisciples, even for the sake of so called "fair hearing" and "free speech". NO WAY. If the text is posted by one of the organisers, it will be respectfully removed. Even I won't post texts which support such discussion. There is no compromise to it.
