This is a very appropriate quote, and please follow it yourself, I mean

specifically the part about scriptural talk being pleasurable to the ear. I

went back and read some 300 texts from this conference and found many texts

by yourself and Jahnu that were extremely rude and hurtful by any standard.

Sticking to the philosophy is not an excuse for being plain rude, and

rudeness doesn't accomplish anything worthwhile and doesn't appeal to

anybody, even to other staunch upholders of the philosophy. You are not

really defending the philosophy with such a behavior, and I don't believe

that the Lord will automatically absolve you from being "a little offensive"

in His name.

Mukya devi, I appreciate your comments. Just wanted to clarify something

though. I wrote to Raghunatha with the ubject "Braja Sevaki and I", and he

wrote back with the subject "The heavy Artillery: Braja Sevaki and I",

wishing both her and I well in our adventures in California.

 

I just wanted to keep the context clear on this particular subject heading!
