During the 1974AD concert, Boston resident Shiva Mishra lost his Video camera and wanted to post in sajha. He called me on the phone the day after asking me if I could post it.
Since it was something that he could have done it himself, I asked him to use his
username MrShiva to post it himself - to which he agreed.
Later on that day, I saw the posting on lost camera posted under Unknown Guy's username. I didn't know why it was posted under a different username but I didn't think too much about it.
At the same time, another thread "Nepali student commits suicide in New York" was being fueled by Bittertruth's callous and disrespectful comments about the deceased student. Noone representing their real self would have been that insensitive to a deceased person and their family, but I guess the anonymity in sajha reduces any personal accountability and obligation. This was voiced by many other anonymous users who still carry the normal burden of responsibility. Among them, Unknown Guy. Unfortunately for Unknown Guy, he was found out to be not so unknown by Bittertruth. Unable to throw major remarks back at others who berated him, and apparently backtracking a little trying to make it more palatable by saying "
He lost his biggest thing that has happened to him 25 years ago, he lost his life and he's a 'loser' in that sense.", Bittertruth realized that he could latch on to Unknown Guy and spin off his own personal lack of respect for the deseased, by making a case of revealing someone's private information by citing Legal references that actually define his own actions against Shiva Mishra, in addition to researching on Mr Shiva and posting his blurred images.
Why Shiva Mishra posted under Unknown Guy instead of his own username?
This is the question which baffled me and it baffled me even further when Bittertruth went ahead on a crusade to copy paste everything Unknown Guy had posted. It baffled me more, because the postings made by Unknown Guy was not in Mr. Shiva Mishra's nature. Mr. Shiva is a quiet very nice guy, who never gets into any altercations with anyone, and even the type of english used by Unknown Guy was nowhere close to the english used by Mr. Shiva that I have witnessed in our common social interactions. So I was baffled a bit.
Email from Unknown Guy to sajha admin.
Today I received an email from Unknown Guy outlining the fact that Mr. Shiva Mishra has been wrongly accused of wrongful things, and that Mr. Shiva had posted from a computer in which Unknown Guy was logged in.
What Mr. Shiva should have done is logged the other user out and logged in under his own username before posting, but he simply posted from Unknown Guy's account.
I have known Shiva ji for years and I absolutely believe that Unknown Guy is not him.
Bittertruth, lot of times truth is bitter and this is the case this time. You have accused someone of being a predator and insinuated other anti social accusations. You were irked when Unknown Guy suggested you be banned, and you went on a crusade to villify him without knowing the real truth. You need to take it easy. This is just a public forum where we want to try to have fun, share information and connect with other Nepalis. We don't need to take things so personally, trying to reveal private information because someone disagrees with you.
Lastly
If anyone has found or taken Mr. Shiva's camera, please return to him. He is a very hard working man, and as far as I know, a man of very good moral character. Your gesture would be appreciated whole heartedly.
Thanking you for your time.
