This whole idea of creating reaction threads and asking for extreme ban on everything just because someone doesn’t agree with you on one thing is getting so lame and boring.

All it takes is just** one** person, just one freaking member to say oh I don’t celebrate this and that holiday for this and that reason and the entire group of supposedly grown ups including some aunties to start throwing toys out of the prams and act as if someone’s said something so blasphemous? Really? Are you all that sensitive? Is there really such a desperate need to act oh so offended and gang up on a random isolated view point to push the situation to the point where the thread needed to be closed?

I saw the thread on thanksgiving in food section and I think I know how it started. Basically a member made a comment about how she personally thinks we should only give importance to festivals like Eid (a personal opinion - nothing really so majorly offensive), a person follows up with that post and gives a very decent reply as to how we can have bit of flexibility and fun without really crossing the line as far Islam is concerned. And that was it! To me, the point of debate just ended there. I saw absolutely no reason why 20 other members felt the need to reply to that comment and derail the thread when the post was already answered by another member. Clearly they weren’t interested in posting about the topic in hand and just wanted to fuel another controversy.

If you really can’t tolerate members expressing their opinions on an on-line forums then simply don’t open threads here. you can all have these discussions amongst each other in your whatsapp groups.

Exactly!!
