Laluprasad:
1. Personal insinuations: a common tactic to make an argument more cogent. I didn\'t think you would engage in such tactics, and shall refrain from responding to your comments about me or my posts, lest this discussion turns into drivel.
2. As for "armchair lawyers", the comment was directed specifically at you, not the general patrons of this board. I am thankful to Mr. Khanna for providing this forum, and to the scores of posters who share their experiences, provide valuable advice, etc. Have nothing but the highest regard for their time and efforts. Rarely do people make sweeping comments ("CP refusal means you are TOAST"
without providing any supporting evidence. Another tactic to make an argument more cogent - misinterpret a statement to evoke public sympathy.
3. "Holier than thou": yes, my friend, you are there, I am still in waiting. You could have been a bona fide US citizen, but that still would not have justified your sweeping statements that lacked supporting evidence. Yet another tactic - patronizing rhetoric.
4. "CP refusal means you are TOAST": you failed to provide any evidence to substantiate your original claim. The best you could come up with was BMBCP\'s example, denial due to employer withdrawing job offer. As unfortunate as BMBCP\'s case was, it does not corroborate your sweeping statement. Let me remind you that to disprove your conjecture, one would need a single counter-example, but to prove it, one would need to show that every CP refusal case resulted in permanent exclusion.
As to why you would choose to make a sweeping statement without a shred of evidence is completely beyond me. I would like to reiterate the point that a CP refusal may not always mean permanent exclusion, there is always some hope.
I shall ignore all future posts laced with personal insinuations or patronizing rhetoric. If you expect a response, be objective in your analysis and reasoning. If you don\'t expect a response, why bother writing?
(Hint: ask yourself the questions: "Do I have sufficient evidence to substantiate my claim of \'CP refusal means you are TOAST\'? If I don\'t, should I retract it?"
Cheers!
