        You are entitled to your opinions.

      Could you care to elaborate this statement ?

>2)There will be people like me who will post a rebuttal to that.

      Thiagarajan has posted quite a few rebuttals .
      I see that you have also posted a rebuttal.

>Then immediately people like Sundara pandian will post mail supporting
>Meenan Vishnu

       I defended Meenan Vishnu in posting articles from a Toronto
 newspaper. It doesn't mean that I agree with all the news contents
 that he has posted so far.              
       Balaji Kannan posted a satire on Meenan Vishnu. I posted a
 reply saying that his satire is in error. 

> and also will make statements like , we should allow
>this newsgroup to have too many flame wars.

        Did I ask nettors to write flames on Meenan Vishnu's
 news articles ? Did I ask nettors to write `vaazhththukkaL'
 on Meenan Vishnu ? Did I ask nettors to start a thread on
 `I hate Tamils' ? I have not even posted any reply to this
 thread and I am staying away from the discussion as I don't
 have much to say. I did not start any discussion on Periyaar.
 I clarified Periyaar's stand in Periyaar's quotes posted by
 R.Thiagarajan in his rebuttal.
     I am entitled to my views just as others are entitled to
 their views. I don't like flame wars either. But I welcome
 healthy discussions on the articles posted in the net.
 R.Thiagarajan posted a flame `Periyaar Temple' and I was glad
 to see my fellow-proponent M.P.Krishna Raj requesting readers
 not to respond to that article. 

 
>This will be seconded by Mr.Krishna raj after a couple of days.

      No comments.
 
>
>let everybody express his own views.

     Exactly.

     I am entitled to my views .                   
           
>Intha maathiri mail anuppicha, ADAMI system yen use panna villai endru

    Have I ever criticized anyone in this net for not using
 ADAMI scheme ?             
    I did not propose to choose a uniform transliteration scheme
 for this net. P.V.Viswanath did. I welcomed his move and voted
 for ADAMI .
