I don’t think it is a big deal in this forum. I have been watching this since I joined it. It looks that this tradition goes back to when this forum came in to existence. Calling names is what makes us true Pakistanis. Long time ago it started with calling one PPP supporter as jyala. With the passage of time new vocabulary such as sain, wadera, dakoo and so on was invented in this forum depending on education and back ground. Most people enjoy when they degrade opponent with such vocabulary, particularly when they refuse to accept the truth of opponent. This is called freedom of speech, holier than though, better than you etc. etc. or whatever.

Captain1 , a good and thought provoking thread.

Not sure of the long term history, but yes name calling has been a part here and what I am observing is that its going down the hill. Our patience to listen to each others’ arguments is vanishing, we are losing trust in each other even though we all want best for Pakistan. Though this is ‘gupshup’ (an online forum only) but seems like its slowly spreading outside too, not necessarily everywhere yet.

Very good thread and POV. And I think everyone would agree with that. But very unfortunately, time after time such kinda requests are made either by new threads or reminders but apparently it doesnt work out in a long run.

There was a similar thread opened by Teggy earlier as well and everybody got off-track pretty quickly.

Either we tend to forget quickly or we are so emotional that it overcomes the wisdom and politeness that we all are supposed to keep especially when we are under the spotlight for being one of the most politically active nations.

Anywaz, lets hope this time it really turns out well and become NAYA PA forum for all of us

i’m sid_ny and I endorse Captain1’s call for no namecalling!! Cheers.

Thank you!
