[QUOTE="Harjas Kaur Khalsa, post: 86622, member: 2125"] Why does an SPN moderator target me and my comments for ridicule on this thread? And how is that inviting an open and welcome discussion forum respecting different ideas and beliefs? Did I indicate a desire to discuss on this thread with such materialistically inane comments such as: "Hair beats the VHS or Analog systems as it is Multi Directional?" And on another thread you even accuse me of having the capability of erasing the Sikh religion, which could be construed as acknowledging my danger to Sikhism, and even a code phrase for having me targeted by extremist fanatics. I would ask why an SPN moderator feels it appropriate to target me for such public ostracism and ridicule? I thought personal attacks were off limits.
