WRT: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mukto-mona/message/50804
I am quite surprised to read Dr. Jiten Roy's allegation that Mukto-Mona "Moderators are suppressing certain opinions in this forum with their censorship". He complained that 3 of his comments were not published. A little check reveals that all his responses have been posted in the forum. Contrary to his allegations, no comments of his were rejected. My search on "Jiten Roy" in m-m yahoo groups resulted in 247 posts and responses; his email id "jnrsr53" produced more than 130 posts since he joined the forum (on March 6, 2008). That is, on average, Dr. Roy managed to publish more than 15 posts per month.
While we appreciate Dr. Jiten's active participation in the forum and absolutely carry no grudge against his social-political views, we find it a bit bizarre that he's quite indignant at us and accused MM moderators of "suppressing his opinions."
As always, unless it explicitly violates our policy, we do not reject or censor a post. Only change lately we have made is the frequency at which we'd update the forum. And that's been already explained with due reasons (Ref. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mukto-mona/message/50653 ) .
Usually, we receive large no. of articles/comments/forwarded articles each day in forum. In addition to that, moderators also have to deal with spams/commercial mails that are interruptive and consume extra time. Sometimes, a moderator may not be able to finish moderating all posts in a single time slot.
M-M has a long history of publishing criticism even if it goes against us. This may be a reason, why Mukto-Mona is such a popular platform among freethinkers and secularists.
We hope Dr. Roy participate in the forum more vigorously and maintain his optimism under all circumstances. :-)
