removed user name and link to profile because the discussions should not be about a particular user. It is like focussing on him and alienating him. It should be about topic.

People can flag comments. I too have made useless comments in the past. If enough people flag it, it gets removed. | |
| Sep 20, 2017 at 19:03 | comment | added | ram | @sv, if you make comments that are both offensive, and not backed-up with sources, people have 2 reasons to flag it. When you don't know what you're talking about, yet seem sure about it, AND it is offensive, your comments/opinions/answers will be treated with disdain. | |
| Sep 20, 2017 at 18:36 | comment | added | The Destroyer Mod | @sv. For proper Shankara commentary see this page. To understand "consciousness", you need to study upanishads. As i suggested earlier, you can watch "Through the Worm hole documentary" and read Upanishads later. We can discuss about it after you have watched those series or after reading Upanishads. And then you would understand, there are no blind beliefs. | |
| Sep 20, 2017 at 18:25 | comment | added | Say No To Censorship | @TheDestroyer All unjustified beliefs have no value in the face of evidence. To quote from this answer: "Vedic authority does not extend to matters which can be studied using scientific methods", "Even a hundred statements of sruti to the effect that fire is cold and non-luminous won't prove valid"...I take 'Sruti' to mean Vedas here. "When we expand consciousness, there will be no contradictions." - I don't really know what 'consciousness' or 'expanded consciousness' means so can't comment on it. | |
| Sep 20, 2017 at 17:49 | comment | added | The Destroyer Mod | @sv. Please read my comment again, i said "didn't know anything about Gravity". Coming to contradictions, they are for people who live with limited consciousness. When we expand consciousness, there will be no contradictions. First a devotee accepts and it is belief. Belief is everywhere. A 6 year old student believes words as teacher as true and verify them later when he attains proper age. Even in Sadhana, first a devotee believes what Scriptures say and when he advances in Sadhana, he will verify all statements when he attains that transcendental state. Belief is everywhere. | |
| Sep 20, 2017 at 17:34 | comment | added | Say No To Censorship | @TheDestroyer 'Can you say Newton was just speculating and didn't know anything about Gravity?' Yes, if you reword it as "Newton did not fully understood Gravity, his laws could not explain the Precession of Mercury" A contradiction in Vedas, any book, scripture or theory means there is speculation. No smart scientist will ever say away with 100% certainty that their theory is "the right one." There is no 'speaking from authority' in science. Any scientist who says 'take my word for it' is no scientist. | |
| Sep 20, 2017 at 16:31 | comment | added | The Destroyer Mod | @sv. Please answer to this analogy of Newton. | |
| Sep 20, 2017 at 16:04 | comment | added | Say No To Censorship | @ram 'If you got sources for that statement' - since when has this site adopted the policy that comments need to be backed up with citations? That only applies to answers. Not comments. I've read a lot of your comments and most of them are unsupported. So it appears to me that 'Vyasa is no longer alive' needs to supported "by facts" and while 'Vyasa is still living somewhere in the Himalayas (with or without the body, we don't know)' needn't be because that is what everyone wants to believe? | |
| Sep 20, 2017 at 15:32 | comment | added | ram | @sv, If you got sources for that statement, and/or can derive inferences from those sources, sure. Also, I'm all for community driven decisions. If this site gets overrun by atheist/left/critical/rational intellectuals, then their opinions will run supreme. If not, it won't. I would personally flag such comments, and when enough people do, moderators can decide whether to remove them. I flagged yours and moved on. Both your and my response comments got deleted, since we don't want to seem like a bunch of bickering fools to outside viewers. | |
| Sep 20, 2017 at 15:29 | comment | added | Say No To Censorship | @ram I can also argue that the statement I made ("Simple explanation is they did not know. They were just speculating what might have caused creation") is factually correct. Why are users on this forum taking offense to it? "However, if you find the truth damaging, maybe the fault is not at my end." - FYI, that works both ways. | |
| Sep 20, 2017 at 15:25 | comment | added | ram | @sv, do you know what slander means ? mentioning the truth is not considered slandering. To Make false and damaging statements about someone is slander. The FACT is that BORI edition was written by someone educated in western nations and married western woman and named their children western names. Check Wikipedia. However, if you find the truth damaging, maybe the fault is not at my end. | |
| Sep 19, 2017 at 15:13 | comment | added | Say No To Censorship | @Rickross Instead of responding to your comments individually I recommend you to read these posts: 1) Does Science Contradict Hinduism? 2) Brothers, we are not Christians! on Christianity.SE. 3) Please try to appreciate others' views, answers and perspectives - even if you don't agree! | |

Its not about users, its about what to do with "such" comments.

| Sep 18, 2017 at 19:21 | comment | added | Say No To Censorship | If you want to really to see what mocking looks like, see this example comment by one of the moderators and this comment by another user slandering a BORI scholar - he's talking about where the scholar studied and who he is married to etc. Those are the ones you should be really taking offense. | |
| Sep 18, 2017 at 19:17 | comment | added | Say No To Censorship | I'm sorry if my comments hurt you, but I was merely answering the question. I can assure you there was no mocking going on. I'm merely stating my observation. If you don't agree with my comments, you can just ignore them. But you shouldn't try to force your opinion on others. People on this forum routinely use comments to answer questions all the time. | |

| Sep 17, 2017 at 17:47 | comment | added | Sarvabhouma | I'm not supporting such comments. Are you 100% sure that he meant Vedas and rishis only? Did he reply to your comment saying he was mocking Vedas? Why did you bold out some text? You want to emphasise on them? " He must be meaning rishis" Are you speculating? And how do you know who downvoted the question? Only CM' s can see that. You're assuming things about downvoting. Don't be 100% sure unless you know it. | |
