I do not want to delete comment...Dear Displayname,<br /><br />I do not want to delete comments, unless a) they are obviously spam, b) it is really necessary. Therefore, I deleted the ones which were offensive against another commenter, but I hesitate to delete the ones which are just about me. I did not realise that readers might have found them dreadful, too. Thanks for letting me know.elisa freschihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17068583874519657894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6641738716446631837.post-91186474337513129362012-11-24T10:06:13.339+01:002012-11-24T10:06:13.339+01:00I would say: you have not only a right, but also a...I would say: you have not only a right, but also a responsibility to delete such comments. Otherwise, people will begin to dread scrolling down below your blog post to even glance at the comments, let alone post comments of their own. (See also the comments on the post after this one: threats etc. must be deleted without a second thought.)displaynamehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09068351772472305473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6641738716446631837.post-28404724381762451312012-11-14T19:53:18.282+01:002012-11-14T19:53:18.282+01:00Let me be clear- there is a lot of skt. which is j...Let me be clear- there is a lot of skt. which is just bad. I can recognize schools of badness- but there also just collocations which are Mlechha. <br />I write Sanskrit- what other language do I have? I'm not Muslim, I'm not Catholic, my own mother and father did not allow me to learn Tamil because, in 1968, it seemed my particular caste was going to face exile, if not a pogrom, in our our own country.<br />You people write self regarding trivialities. Why?<br />Have you no intellectual energy to spare to make Skt. not WORTHLESS SHIT only fit for the thoughts of a Sudipta Munsi or Phil the Philologist?<br />Have you guys made any intelligent comment ever?<br />Do you actually know fuck?<br />Okay, thought so.<br />Yeah, I'm the troll under Dr. Freschi's bridge. Not that her first book is a bridge- it is a pier to nowhere- but her second book or her third book or her tenth book will be that bridge and I'd be as happy as a gargoyle on Notre Dame to be a troll under that bridge.<br /><br />Basically guys, Sudipta you witless worthless shite in particular, go fuck yourself.windwheelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18099651877551933295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6641738716446631837.post-58491929400189809342012-11-14T19:39:10.410+01:002012-11-14T19:39:10.410+01:00I am the guilty party whom everybody, with impecca...I am the guilty party whom everybody, with impeccable taste, considers a 'troll'.<br />Yet, Dr. Freschi has not banned me. Why not?<br />The answer is that she has a big heart and does not want to embarrass even the most stupid and vicious person.<br />What is to be done with Dr. Freschi?<br />Comrade Sudipta is clearly right- we should behead her! People with big heart- they are class enemy! <br />@Phil the Philologist- guys, I'm not totally stupid, Dr. Freschi is thinking in new ways on her blog - but is expressing herself in old ways in what she writes because writing is about collacational availability cascades and has that dynamic, that hysteresis- I'm not a troll, I'm motivated by love and hope. <br />I've got a half Italian son- whose Mum was an Indologist. (I'm Hindu Tamil) <br />Can't you understand that a person like me will request Dr. Freschi to leave her 'drawing room politics' and engage with real Research Programs?<br />You people are like the Indian National Congress prior to the advent of Gandhi. Everything polite and logical. Meanwhile, as Naoroji had pointed out long ago 'shakkar ki churhi'- knife of sugar- was operating.<br />Anyway, it behooves me as much elder to you, to apologize and bow down in front of you. By God's Grace, though doubled over to take the dust off your 'New Brahmin' feet- it seems I am still a giant compared to you. <br /><br />May I suggest, that you sedulous troll hunters<br />1) learn polite Skt<br />2) become capable of making meaningful comments.windwheelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18099651877551933295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6641738716446631837.post-38019304027848524942012-11-14T05:11:20.104+01:002012-11-14T05:11:20.104+01:00Correct observation, Phil the Philologist.Correct observation, Phil the Philologist.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07695587062582618769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6641738716446631837.post-3648491015002832742012-11-14T04:59:56.631+01:002012-11-14T04:59:56.631+01:00Those aren't comments.

I would delete them without a second thought. The guy is clearly "trolling" at your expense, so why give him the platform? You put yourself out there more than other Indologists by frequently posting your thoughts and ideas. We may not always agree, but we should respect the free exchange of ideas that you are offering.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
