General rules for my spaces going forward (to avoid repeating):
A space is not a democracy. It is made with my personal account and as such, runs by my wishes regarding who may speak, what the subject is and so on.
If you want democratic rights, ask a sarkari account to host.

The spaces will almost never be without an agenda. There will be a subject for discussion and it is not likely to be whatever the knee jerk discussions are. Don't even.
I do tend to moderate to stay on topic. and don't hesitate to mute people if need be.

Chances of my spaces being anti-BJP are extremely high. As in, not just the political ones. If BJP supporters can slip in with sane views on non-political subjects, hey super.
I am not likely to EVER hold debates on whether BJP is right or wrong. No point expecting.

I spot bhakti and one of two things will happen - like in my mentions, you'll get used for general entertainment or if the discussion is serious, you'll simply vanish from speakers. I don't owe you explanations. Default explanation : My space, my WHIM.
With that out of the way, I generally let whoever asks for the mic have it for as long as they can stay on topic. However in recent discussions (and chances are in today's god discussion) there are often MANY requests waiting and indefinite time to 10 speakers may not be fair.
So there is a test policy today - people I perceive to have got "enough" time to talk, will be moved to listeners to help clear the pending wait for the mic.
Of course you can immediately apply for mic again. My intent is not to deny you, but avoid very long waits for anyone.

Finally, avoid insulting anyone unless you are very certain I will enjoy it, because if I don't, I'll kick you out.
Finally finally, always assume good faith. If there is any chance of something you find offensive having a non-offensive explanation, assume that. By order.

Oh wait. Not yet done.
Avoid repeating yourself. A brilliant argument simply gets irritating if two people keep repeating the same things to each other or disguised as more and more examples of the same thing.
Don't worry. We'll help you become aware if this loop starts :p
