but whenever matty does say something, bout 60 odd hands stick up to belittle him
[/QUOTE]
oh hardly sadzz, cafeites dont count and generalites are too busy kissing his ass. whenever him or the likes of him says something like that, every one either just stays quiet ( characteristic of many generalites) cuz apparantly thats suppose to be "meaningful contribution to the forum" or their views doesnt seem to count as much.
n matsy, ever thought about how u shamelessly try to promote ur illogical sense of superiority here? u try to act as if u are not judgemental even though u do that a lot and not even realize it. in order for others to understand ur point of view, u need to be open to understand other opinions as well.

JazakAllah. May Allah bless you.
I think Its unfair to curse anybody. But some people
use the bad words with the word "God". But I think
that escapes the attention of the mod(s).
I do have a question for those who are complaining that some people get off scot-free....the thing is, if you see someone say something wrong, or something which you don't agree with, then why don't you check them right there and then? Have you done your part?
If you think something is worth discussion or worth pointing out, by all means, say it, start a discussion. Don't just keep it all bottled up.
If the thread gets deleted or locked, it really means that the mods also think that the topic stinks... and even then some people complain that no action is taken. Isn't that ironic? :)
^ nope its not. locking or deleting the thread doesnt mean that things havent been said or will not be said again in the future. which it usually does.

I guess it is a case of how important you think the whole dealio is.
I can start pointing out instances of insults to Islam and Pak like I used to but in the end the whole thing turns into a pissing contest. It comes down to how much you can swear and how low you can go. And quite frankly I have much better things to do with my time than waste it on folks who despite all their years of education are nothing but closet Islamophobes.
As unbelievable as that may sound, I'm actually a very peaceful and nonviolent kind of person. :-D And after a little bit of warfare, I generally realize how silly the whole thing really is and leave. Hence, the don't care attitude to posts that are meant to do nothing but ignite and incite. Now, I know you will say that why not be the bigger person and let go etc. well that's what we do 90% of the time, don't we?

.. except that there are somethings happening in the back end that you don't see. Like issuance of warning points. 3 warnings and the person is out. That thing you don't see :-)

That is precisely the point. How much are you willing to invest your time. If you are unwilling to make that investment, then don't you think it is unfair to criticize people who do that for causes that are important for them (e.g. Nadia opened this thread to point out something she feels strongly about). And this is exactly what I am saying. Its easy to criticize someone. Question is, how much have you done to raise issues or check someone who posts something "objectionable"?

fair enough.
I will say this though - the point suroor and I are raising are slightly different. I'm complaining about the different levels of outrage expressed by some guppies when Pak/Islam is insulted versus when some other religion/country is insulted and how some of them are all over the offender in the latter case and are nowhere to be seen in the former case. if that makes any sense.
what suroor is saying is... well I think we all know what suroor is saying. :-)
Why wait for someone else to create an outrage, or lack thereof? Do it yourself. And if you can't be bothered, then, well then, we know what that means :)
i seem to have a knack for getting on peoples’ bad side 
its like the most impossible thing to happen
