I mulled over this for sometime, Pfranz. I spent a little time wondering whether to let it go and not respond. But, I couldn't be passive; it didn't seem right. Much as I hate getting into issues that people could potentially differ on ideologically, it seems to me, more hateful to sit back and allow a great man to be spoken of in such a disparaging tone. I am deeply hurt and offended. Mahatma Gandhi was a truly great man and the absence of a man of his stature is felt more acutely in times such as the ones we are currently going through. As also was, Martin Luther King.
You could disagree, Pfranz, with his philosophy or his methods; it is a free world and I respect your right to an opinion. But some of your comments were unnecessarily personal and they cut to the quick.
