Blog concept: Chain-blogging through comments
Now... now... now... This is a different concept - a blog article made by incorporating "Comments" from different readers
Let us use our combined intellect and blogging skills to 'write' part two of this article!!

Buddies... just write your CONTENTS in the "Comments" section that continue this story, the condition being that it should be humorous with no offences to any individual, religion or sect. All contributions will be duly acknowledged...

Two things are true about this post:
This is a two-series crap
For a sustainable sanity-free world...
Thanks for the feedback that the post is 'disgusting' and lacks originality. I will work on that.
"Why would it be 'disgusting' when there have been hundreds of 'hate-articles' and 'hate-campaigns' that have been spreading the same load of tosh."
I guess you either need to read that article again (unfortunately!!) and reassess your opinions
OR
learn to distinguish between hate-speech, sarcasm and humour.
For a detailed counter to the points raised by you and Archana, please note the response below.
Thanks,

Hi Madhu/ Archana....
I am not exactly 'surprised' by the first series of reactions ...... Let us take a few steps back and assess if the content is argumentative or plain attempt at humour/ sarcasm. It is evident that this is NOT a blog for serious discussions. You can accuse my 'sense of humour' as being crude or disparaging or useless; but, to say that I have been venting my anger/ frustration is a very superficial and knee-jerk statement. For that matter, I have called myself all kind of names in another blog aritcle (The futile arrest of Sudarshan.....).
Let me first confess that I am not a great fan of either Gandhiji or Mayavati or even the 'so called' Hindutva brigade. At the risk of further alienating you, I will request you to read the article again - at leisure and with open mind. Then let us take this piece by piece.
- When I used the word 'moron' or 'lousy', nowhere did I mean it seriously. Specifically for Gandhiji, it was in context of his attempt for a 'united' India. But the very next sentence acknowledges the sacrifices he made. I am a NOBODY to judge him. But yes, I MUST 'rephrase' that part to avoid further issues.
- In regards to 'minority appeasement' - both the contexts (Aryabhatta inventing ZERO of the fighting for a 'wall') were non-serious in nature. Further down, is it not a fact that the rise of right-wing Hindutva was accelerated by overt appeasement? But, that is a different topic altogether. Where in the article did I de-fragment or oppose minority appeasement?
- There is no 'contrarian point of view' - In fact I am one of those kind who keep changing his point of view depending on who you are, where you are and what time of day it is. This aritcle was just an attempt to create something funny by tying together different historical incidents, culminating in linking of the non-existent 'Krishan Janmabhumi Movement' to the nonsense of Statue building spree in UP.
- This blog is all about plain crap. Since, very few are capable of this rubbish, I was searching for others of my type.
- "Fortunately I have seen saner debates than hate-campaigns on this topic." - As stated above, this blog is neither a 'debate' nor a 'hate campaign'. I am sorry that you found it disturbing. The best I can do in this regards is to avoid posting such 'chain-blogging' posts on the forum in the futuer. That I will try to do.
- "What's disgusting the first time around continues to be disgusting when seen the hundredth time?" -That depends on how free your mind is from pre-concieved perceptions and ability to map content to context.
Regards,
Sudarshan
