Alok and others go on about better sites, one is also UK based called:
Yep, lots of middle brow articles of mediocre standard, but not a single concession to interactivity.
So what do those folk like Pennie, etc who often criticise SN say when they confront another news site who is too scared to even have a free noticeboard, though they make lots of bread and have loads of advertising.
Parmartha, I did not say the AllAboutOsho site is better than SN. It has a different function to SN, namely to introduce Osho Pune to newcomers. Have you forgotten that you were a newcomer, once? I only mentioned it because I believe the site is new and is nicely designed. I agree with you that oshonews articles are often embarrassingly middlebrow. I think it is really valuable that you provide a free discussion board.
Thanks Alok. I did not mention the new site. I went there and could see it had a function.
I dont like that Oshonews site cos it seems so snooty and almost snobbish. Also because it is not subject to criticism it is so self congratulatory.
It also has a lot of paid ads which supports it’s mediocrity.
Yes I was a newcomer once and quite a few people tried to put me off Osho at the time, and also later. I guess my wisdom on this is that when one feels the connection with someone like Osho in and of oneself it is irrefutable, and so making for comfortable entrances was never my bag.

You are right. It is snooty and snobbish. I sometimes read it anyway.
It is odd there has always been so much snobbery and mediocrity around Osho.
