Details, please, comrades. I was unaware that Internet postings were in any respect privileged, but thought them to be like other publications. Rakesh seems to be intentionally obscure (and if words mean what they seem, he suggests directing hatred toward Louis for some other unnamed person's action), as though simple facts cannot support his accusations. Doug's allegation is too general to evaluate, given that it sounds much like what often has been posted here attacking Louis and others, including me.
