Oh, my, I noticed it just now!

 

Prof. Dominik Wujastyk,

 

You said in your recent post:

 

What George Thompson pointed out is that the post by Nagaraj Paturi used a series of different forms of address that appeared to express gradations in his judgements about the different people he was naming, from formal=respected to informal=not so much. (highlighting mine)

 

I am surprised to see my name in this passage.

 

Prof. Gorge Thompson was saying :

 

In his recent post to Indology, Prof. Pandurangi refers to three Western Indologists.  One is referred to as 'Prof. Jesse.' Another is referred to as 'Dr Wendy Doniger.'  And a third is referred to as 'Howard Resnick.' Then in passing he refers to three other Indologists as 'reputed scholars like Cardona, Aklujkar and Deshpande, etc.'  Can you explain to me the complex sociological hierarchy of this system of reference?  Do you think that there is no hierarchy here?  Do you really think that in this context "Prof. Jesse" is respectful? (highlighting mine)

 

Hope you are able to see the wrong (probably mistaken) mention of my name in your post.

 

Regards,

 

Nagaraj
