Re: What happened to this HDF
Namaste.
I too find it dismaying that there has been a plethora of political discussion that degenerates into invective. There have been a plethora of Abrahamic discussions, in which at least one person cries out how evil Abrahamic religions are; and how Jesus is inconsequential to Hinduism. So why are these subjects brought up?
To my way of thinking, the Abrahamic discussions should be policed more heavily, or forbidden altogether. If Abrahamics are inconsequential to Hinduism, as has been said on more than one occasion, why is there a section for it? I don't know if this was meant to be a comparative religions site that has just taken a wrong turn. If there were a way to select only the forums one wants to read, that would be great, as one site does, but not all forum software supports it.
I've noticed that a number of posters who are quite knowledgeable on subjects of Sanatana Dharma have not posted in a long time. And that is a shame, because they are the people with whom I've had learning and informative discussions. I've learned a lot from this site, more than I probably would on my own. I've said that in the past and I mean it sincerely. But to be perfectly blunt, too many discussions are going down the crapper; these discussions do not put Sanatana Dharma or Hinduism in a postitive light for those who lurk. We tend to forget that there are people who lurk and read, as if they were reading a library book. How many people have these discussions turned off and turned away? We'll never know. I too think it's time to back away, at least for a time.
