Your user page

Thank you for the candor expressed in your user page. You may want to read Misplaced Pages:User page, to learn what is appropriate and what is not appropriate to have in your user page. Another pointer you may want to consult is What Misplaced Pages is not. I would go as far as suggesting that calling felow editors like me, that spend considerable time in this project (and not only on articles related to Prem Rawat) "over-zealous" that "subtley promote their simplistic demonisation of critics" is not in harmony with your statement about "truth and reconciliation". For your information, I have several friends that are no longer students of Prem Rawat, and they do not consider themselves part of this small group of vocal critics that call themselves "ex-premies". Polarization starts when the "ex-premie" group calls me and fellow students "brainwashed cult members" or worse, or when they call the venues were we want to peacefully gather to listen to our teacher with the intention to deny us from doing so. For what I have seen from you so far, and from the statements in your user page, I appreciate your distancing from that group and their tactics, and hope you can assist in making these and other related articles, better, more neutral and more encyclopedic. Happy editing. ≈ jossi ≈ t • @ 15:49, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

No personal attacks

Regarding this comment:

Please see Misplaced Pages's no personal attacks policy: There is no excuse for personal attacks on other contributors. Do not make them. Comment on content, not on the contributor; personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that you may be blocked for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thanks. ≈ jossi ≈ t • @ 16:56, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
