Going by the facts, if
someone were to say Masud Sheikh made a poor presentation (totally
out of point and not in keeping with IBM standards), how could
anyone in the world deduce that someone actually said Masud Sheikh
was a bad person because he made a bad presentation?
It may be a cultural
thing, perhaps, since it comes so naturally to some people. When
they cannot attack another person's reasoning or argument, they
attack the integrity of that person, as you've done again in your
response titled, "What gets
included in mysticism?”
I don't know what's
bugging you. It certainly isn't me. I think you are a nice person
but you come across differently when we knock ideas about. Ideas are
nothing personal but some culturally hung-up people choose to take
offence and then go on the defensive, attacking people and cultures
leading to the Clash of Civilizations that you mention -- and what
are civilizations without
people like you and I?
