Now that we have the official joker and stupid-ass of s.c.i.t in the
guise of Mr. Suresh Doku (with cheer-leading provided by devoted
side-kicks ( aka chamchas ) at WPI), we should take care that we do
not scare them off the net ( fat chance, hey, Doku!! ).

Happily punching in his prejudices mixed with spices at the key-board
and revelling in the relative anonymity afforded by the net, Mr. Doku
has at last found a way (somebody must have told him that posting to
newsgroups is free) to vent his pent-up emotions thru a medium
where he knows he can cause maximum damage without letting a shred of
the crap touch him. All he would need is a foul brain and some fingers 
to operate the key-board. Believe me, guys, I am sure he has further
masala up his sleeve...oh, boy I can't wait to read the muck stirred
up by a dirtier-than-the-gutter brain. Going by his record, we can be
sure that his prolific outpourings will be promising. It is best to
sit back and study the mechanics of the grey cells of this unique 
specimen (and his stooges, of course). (I only hope his English gets
a bit better with the practice...heh heh heh).

Though the outraged cries of Dora and Co are understandable, by getting
Doku off the net, we are only losing some much needed entertainment
after a long and tiring day. Though Doku is yakking about freedom of
speech in this country, he forgot to mention the corollary of this 
ideology : YOUR RIGHTS END WHEN THEY BEGIN TO BOTHER THE NEXT GUY. 
Hmmm, there is little chance of Doku giving this some pondering, methinks
the only feasible way for this to reach his brain is thru a well-aimed
and energetic kick in the you-know-where. 

Getting  beyond trivialities like Doku, we need to give some thought
why Telugus fail to be social in an organization. This present Doku
controversy can serve as a microcosm of this failure on our part. I
see two reasons for this: 1. Unreasonable elements like Doku who lack
a perspective beyond their own whinings and 2. Reasonable people who bear
these unreasonable elements because they believe in the general goodness
of people.

I attribute the problems to the second category who don't know
what to do when faced my clearly argumentative and unreasonable Doku-types.
It is time we realized that these people are parasites who exploit our
feelings of respect and tolerance that we reserve for the common type of man 
who gives some value to our own beliefs and respects our views. With people
like Doku no such tolerance need be shown and the same treatment reserved
for a rabid dog should be shown (apology to rabid dogs which are a shade
better).

I propose that we do not lose the one poster who we can really play ball with
without any feelings of regret. Let Doku reign and when you feel like venting
out your frustrations in grad school(those tough a'ments, tests, uncertain
funding etc.) somewhere where you know you cannot do real damage, come to
s.c.i.t
and play around with Doku. You can be sure he will keep the fire going so you
won't be at a loss for future entertainment. 

Having pointed out the advantges of Doku as a stress-reliever (forget all those
medicines shown on TV).....allow me to get back to my homework.

ps: Boy, this thing really works!! I feel refreshed already.
pps: The stories behind Doku's weepings must be interesting!
