Hello @unsubtledesi. Your friend tells me your accusation is addressed to me.

You and Opindia are free to publish whatever you wish. I DID NOT demand anything from you.

But I have to set the record straight. Your accusation that I "endorsed abuses" hurled at you is a LIE (1)

@UnSubtleDesi When Chandrapida abused you, I publicly condemned him. I tagged him and wrote this on the on my TL the very next day.

"Chandrapida's remarks against Nupur were extremely vile and I condemn him for that"

(September 20, 2018).

I NEVER supported abuses hurled at you. NEVER(2)

@UnSubtleDesi We had a very long chat on DM that day. I condemned him and I even apologized (I wrote "sorry") in DM even when I had NOTHING to do with the issue. (He abused you & deactivated account even before I woke up!).

I tried my best to assuage you as I felt that you were hurt!

@UnSubtleDesi We moved on long back and you even continued calling me 'friend' long after that!

Why this FALSE ACCUSATION all of a sudden?

I see what you are doing here. I am being smeared with the logical fallacy of "guilt by association".

In that case, let me set the record straight!

@UnSubtleDesi The person whom you call your 'best friend', 'brother' & with whom you click pictures, has been abusing, hounding and harassing me since one year.

He even abused my mother and called me "mad@rch*d"

This is your 'best friend' I am talking about! (5)

@UnSubtleDesi He is NOT the only one. Your other "brother' has also been abusing me for a very long time.

In short, your inner circle and gang of friends has been abusing and harassing me since one year.

Have you EVER EVER condemned them for it? No, you NEVER did!

@UnSubtleDesi Our friends and acquaintances on Social Media can sometimes behave very obnoxiously and we DO NOT have control over them.

But here is the difference.

I condemned and castigated Chandrapida in public on the very next day.

You have NEVER condemned your friends until this day!

@UnSubtleDesi But here is the thing, @unsubtledesi.

Have I EVER EVER responded to the abuses YOUR friends hurl at me? NEVER!

Have I EVER held YOU guilty of it? NEVER!

Why?

Because I am NOT a hypocrite. I use the same judging standards for BOTH you and me (8)

@UnSubtleDesi I do NOT believe in fallacy of "guilt by association".

That is why, unlike you, I NEVER held you guilty of it.

I always wished the best for you & Opindia. I wrote a couple of articles for your portal in the past.

I even gave you inputs for your article on Somnath and Ghazni

@UnSubtleDesi I do not have anything against you @unsubtledesi or your portal opindia. I wish you the best.

But I am SHOCKED and SADDENED to see this false public smearing. I NEVER wanted to make a public spectacle of such private issues but you forced me today.

@UnSubtleDesi Now that I have expressed myself, I only expect to be abused, harassed and hounded by mainstream RW gang along with declarations for public boycott and a lot of smearing and personal attacks.

But I have already become quite acquainted to such incidents and will not be bothered!
