What is the meaning of Aum?
Why is it given the first place in all (or most) mantras (atleast to
my knowledge)?
What other significance does it ha...

I read this post of the user vedicd. The question he tired to raise was valid, but his approach was probably wrong. If he knew the answers were wrong, then he should have posted the correct answer there. Nevertheless, I feel the point he was trying to raise regarding the overall status of the sit...
I think there is no need of being aggressive here, we are all big boys/girls now.
So, as i know the part of answer you highlighting is not offensive but kind of jokey and un-required. I have removed that part from the answer.
For the comment part, its also not offensive, it can be a bit chatty ...

@AnkitSharma i know you may not like my copy pasting part... but that's nothing to feel bad about as we do it because we are not really experts in hinduism

@VineetMenon hi......i think you rarely check meta.
That meta post was posted yesterday...
@Shog9 most of us might be on the way from office to home ( like me). :)
Anyways now i have reached.

@Vishal you seems quite impatient. In SE sites edit are to improve post. Edit required approval from 3 different good rep user or by the owner. And in your case, you accepted the edit by your ownself. User like me who have reputation more then 1000, can even edit post without permission. But owner can rollback it anytime.

And for greens comment ...i will say that user just overreacted
@VineetMenon i have seen this kind of trouble before...over Movies and TV SE, someone said that i am creating Indian colony in western sites.....even moderator can't make him calm down.

I know, the post is dead, by my two cents..
Are we allowing people to take this site hostage? Just because a person (conservative or liberal) doesn't affirm to my world-view should I ban him by coercion?
What will be the reaction of such people if someone posted a question about Kamasutra or th...
@Shog9 sorry to disturb you buddy, I feel like people are taking it a bit personally over here, if you feel the same, feel free to delete all the answer except jabahar's answer, but on the other hand I feel people are good and discussing the matters openly.. I leave the decision on you, thanks
@Mr.Alien I think it's fine; I cleaned up some comments on the question there yesterday, but unless stuff gets overly personal it's good to have concerns out in the open.
