But, removing it for the reasons stated sounds a little "coddling", if that's the right word. Coddling to Ravi, and coddling to those who visit the site. So, what is the "reputation" of Batgap. And I say that respectfully, because you have spent a lot of time and energy, and probably money (although I am aware of your wife's requirement about that). None, really. I got some donations, which I'm keeping in a PayPal account, to defray expenses. But how is the interview going to tarnish the reputation. Thanks. It's just that I want to maintain a certain quality standard, such that people can listen at random to any of the interviews and find it worth their while. I'm no judge of anyone's level of consciousness, so I don't expect to bat 1000 in choosing my guests, but so far I'd say I'm batting about 900. Once I've taped an interview, I feel somewhat obligated to the guest to air it. I thought Ravi's interview went reasonably well, and this whole brouhaha didn't erupt until a few days or a week after I recorded it. If others really want to watch it, I may put it up, at least for a while. I was thinking that if what happened to Ravi was the result of a kundalini awakening he wasn't able to handle, and was not just the result of bi-polar disorder, it might be interesting to interview an expert in kundalini, such as Joan Harrington: http://www.kundalinicare.com/
