I think JHB made it clear, he understands why people make comparisons, without agreeing or disagreeing with the conclusions they draw. 

I don't myself believe he needs to delete the whole thread. But if he did I would get it too. It didn't get that bad. But the potential to derail the Forum is so great with the topic that I think it's a great rule. I was just happy to see a post from you, and I have made posts in past like that, the Venn diagram I posted awhile ago, but I have come to really agree that it's just not good for the Forum to discuss him. As John said, there are plenty of other places to do that.

And this is a rare place where info about Prem Rawat can be discussed, and I would hate to have it spammed with how heated the other topic gets.
