Re: [rti4empowerment] Re: RTI activist shot in UP

Dear Dubeyji,

It is very good that you have posted. If knowledgeable persons like you do
not post then who will post and challenge what others write?

You are 110% correct that we are nobody to sit in judgment. Those who
do sit in judgment often come across cases like these and place the details
in public domain for lesser mortals like us to read.

(This case is about an Income Tax officer (requester) against whom
residents have complained he is a blackmailer)

NB: These decisions are only for" blackmailers" located using the CIC's
section 4(1)(a) compliance. You may use the same facility for
"extortionists", "vexatious", "frivolous" etc.

For "eco-system", I suggest that wikipedia is a good place to begin
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecosystem

who can be (extortioned) by use of RTI ?

who can be  (blackmailed?) by use of RTI?

what is this ( vexatious?) manner ? 

what is a (frivolous?) application? 
what is RTI eco system( a new term for me)?

At last who are we to pass judgements?

Dear Friends

Where is the question of my "real" face. I have ALWAYS maintained as follows:

1) That I am a citizen entitled to use RTI

2) That I am not an "activist"

3) That many "activists" are extortionists / blackmailer / professionals who use
RTI in a vexatious manner which is harmful to long term interest of citizens who use RTI.

4) That the sooner such activists are eliminated from the RTI eco-system (by being
shot or otherwise) the better for all genuine stakeholders especially citizens..

To remove any doubts
I confirm that I made the statement attributed to me, and I stand by it.
