Rabin Deka seems to be suffering from many ailments, not the least of which is his inability to read, write or comprehend ordinary English, while he attempts to create an impression that he is an eminent linguist by challenging people delving into such matters, while never giving an answer himself or correcting those who might be in error. I won't even go to the issue of American colloquialisms - which he obviously is totally unfamiliar with. It is not difficult to understand why.
On the other hand he is the one who does not hesitate to mock others by asking questions or challenging those commenting or discussing issues such as Xonkordev, Mahapuruxia religions and customs and related matters may be in conflict with HIS interpretations or information, which he obviously holds as infallible. Maybe he IS. But the infallible, the scholar, the expart (sic) aught (sic) to inform, correct or otherwise help re-direct the uninformed or the mistaken or the ignorant, instead of mocking them,; which I ma sure netters woud agree is not nit (sic). Have Netters noticed how Rabin Deka's sole contribution to the discourse in Assam Net is to attack, name call, mock or otherwise demean and devalue individuals--his fellow netters? Has anyone noticed him engaging in a discussion or even debate in which he shares his knowledge or his opinions? Has he shared the wisdom he must possess, or so one might hope from a self-styled expart(sic) of the Vaishnav faith of Assam? Rabin Deka's perennial problem has been his NEED to be RECOGNIZED for the areas of expertise he HAS or THINKS he has command of. He LOVES and NEEDS control, and if he does not get it he gets personally abusive to those whom he perceives to be the offender. There have been quite a few in Assam Net who have been on the receiving end of his offerings in Assamm Net. Jugal Kalita, Ram Sarangapani, Rajen Barua, Probal Tahbildar and heh-heh, yours truly, to name only a few. He is the only person in Assam Net who seem to have so many personal enemies. Rabin Deka does not even hesitate to drag uninvolved family members of his objects of ire into the cesspool of his posts. How despicable can one get? A couple of years ago Rabin asked me to REVIEW articles, like for submittals to technical journals, for the souvenir of Assam 2001 convention held in Denver for which he was a co-editor. Specifically he wanted me to review articles by Jukti Kalita and Sanjib Baruah. When I declined on grounds of lack of expertise, his retort was to ask WHY I was AFRAID of Jukti and Baruah. That is Rabin Deka's sophistication folks. I have more, but it won't be necessary to spill it all--if you get my drift. As I said once before, I believe Rabin Deka is a disgrace to our net-community. Too bad that he is so out of it, that even this would go right over his head. cm At 2:38 PM -0800 11/12/03, Rabin Deka wrote: >a phenomena of the cognition of �dhora� snake is seen emulated here, so >the term �cognition phenomena - dhora�, ... :) > >�dhora saapar phorphorani� >�hit on the head� >are two phrases that chan mahanta, an eminent scholar, used in Assam Net. >while a �dhora� faces a stick, it becomes impatient so it makes some >�phorphoroni� - observe that a �dhora� snake does not see it could be >killed if stick hits on its head, but it continues �phorphoroni�. > >observe the spellings and grammatical errors below from items 1 to 4 from >an eminent scholar - click related links for more. > >in item 1, the eminent scholar was impatient as he could not write to >Assam Net for couple of days. in item 2 too, he was impatient and obsessed >with a kid who would be younger than his son. similarly, items 3 and 4 are >also because of he being impatient and obsessed for his reasons. the >impatient nature observed is comparable to the impatient nature of �dhora� >snake, ... :) > >in item 5, on the other hand, sane eminent scholar with anonymous ID is >talking of spelling and grammar, and the eminent scholar is asking someone >to come forward to explain - this is what is �phorphoroni�, ... :) > >�when to bring a point to the attention of the unwary and when to hit >someone hard on the head�.- eminent scholar chan mahanta. > >as such �dhora saapar phorphorani� which is a phenomena of the cognition >of �dhora� snake is seen emulated here in human cognition, ... :) > > > >F.Y.I. > > > > > 1.
