Banning devotees for the wrong reasons and Why I am banned from visiting ISKCON Denmark !

(Warts on Books, Part 4b, 4.28) A difference of opinion (difference of understanding) has arisen- should the books be changed to fix these warts? No changes as the books are perfect? And the warts are only in the minds of the academic editors?
