Re: Some thing to think about...
vroom I follow political threads, and I see just as much crap from pakisyanis as indians, while we do get some indians who are only here to cause trouble and not really to engage, who then are unceremoniously kicked out, although then like rats trying to get to food they try to come back in.
what do you suggest when there is an open season in shia sunni discussions?
taking sides because of personal beliefs os political leanings is not the way to go, but how it is being discussed. yes thre are some topics that can be a little tacky or offending especially when it comes to religion and those are a diff topic especially when ppl start critiquing holy figures.
if banning on political differences and religious differences was the way forward, I would have banned TheRealDeal and Flame of Life ages ago, but they are gentlemen who can get fired up once in a while but stay on the topic, while I disagree 80-100% with their poltical views, i would never even think of banning them.
its the manner of engagement that matters. On tis very site one idiot threatened another one's family, it was something to the tune of assaulting his daughter and killing him etc. do you suggest that at that time that the mods take teh side of the guy making the threats just because he is muslim and Pakistani, or so he claimed.
yes I have been to indian sites and gotten banned for even questioning some illogical crap that was being passed around as facts, but is that what we want to be?
we dont need rude crude and socially screwed members whether they are white, brown. black, yellow or purple or muslims, hindus, jews, christians, wiccans, sikhs whatever.
the mod team tries to do the best it can.
sadly mod team or administration can not teach ppl how to communicate, and definitely is not in a position to undo years of bad upnringing and education of certain folks which was the responsibility of their parents and teachers.
You say you've been to indian forums and been banned for speaking out; well, why not the same approch here? Why don't the admin ban the hindoos who speak against Pakistan and Islam? Numerous times I've read some indians talk sh*t about our ladies and how oppressed they are; about how we're the hot place for terrrorists; about how indian army beat are asses. Doesn't that make anyone elses blood boil?
Or another approch could be NOT TO CLOSE THE THREAD. Let us respond; show them what we're made of. I guarantee you some of us have enough command of the english language to seriously hurt everything they stand for. Yet, threads are closed prematurely to avoid conflict. Not every thread can be about congratulating someone on their 4, 576 post! Some threads discuss real issues and when things get heated, our lady mods jump for cover and close the threads.
