Selective Amnesia There was a point to this. But I forgot.

Apologies

Rohan Pinto has apologised. Unconditionally.
(Amit Varma has the story)
I guess I need to, too – for calling him names – I pro’lly ought not have – but I did, and hence – I apologise. Unconditionally.

But I would like to make a few points here. We all agree that RP plagiarised posts – and that if nothing – his nsSwitch site was at-least suspicious.
And since we (Amit, Shanti, MadMan and few others) went after him (a joint decision taken over email after about 30+ hours of discussion and debate) get branded as mobsters and our action a witch hunt.

Why? Let’s say that somebody offers you the Gateway of India for sale, but you need to hand over your all your cash first, would you wait around and let him get away? Would going after him, reporting him to the authorities concerned be called a witch hunt?
In what way did we differ?

Well, anyway, I apologise for calling Rohan Pinto names, and like the others, will try to forget the incident and move on.
