Perhaps he didn't mean it, and it should be taken along side the relevant context. (my view added on 19.08.2007)

  • Almost stopped editing except few minor edits (done habitually) and a little talks. The situation appears to be really hopeless for me to be around and waste my time here - there are better things to do!

  • A person (like me) whiling away his spare time here doing nothing may become most prolific while really serious editors (like the one who helped wrote more than 10 FAs) have a fair chance to be driven away by wikipedia systems!
  • A little learning is a dangerous thing indeed! Many people don't know that it was India that was partitioned and not the British India - as the British Parliament passed the Partition of India Act, 1947 [1] and not the Partition of British India Act. It was Indian Independence Act 1947 and not the British Indian Independence Act. Perhaps, many people think that the free encyclopedia gives them freedom to get confused to the hilt and confuse others too. Let us write an encyclopedia and not mediocritepedia.
    • Coins embossed with the word India circulated throughout the so-called British India, and interestingly they were minted in the mints managed by the the-then British rulers of India: [2]. India was India and it was never British India or Mughal India, or Maurya India!
      I am reacting here as my reaction there may disturb many civil and well mannered wikipedians.
  • Once people talked about Nehruvian Stalinism for days and weeks [3], and it happens everyday here wasting the donor's money. Is not it cheating the donors?
