Guys:
This thread is getting sidetracked by personal attacks, irrelevant postings and completely idiotic writing. Unless the topic is going to be about "Are not Tamil Brahmins Tamilians?" we will delete the postings.
Be warned!
Hello silverfox,
Everyone have their own style of writing, for if it were uniform, that itself would be monotonous... and hence one should resist the urge to comment on the other member's style of writing... This has not been the case.
There was a previous attempt to link my id with that of another member, and then an attempt to show that myself and s007bala are acting in cahoots to usurp the forum reputation of certain senior members here... "bullies", as you used the term here... Needless to say, advice started popping up from all directions.
One member, who was vociferous in advising me/s007bala, has now admitted, that she is using another id, and that too, to specifically take on s007bala and malgova.mango... Now I am not hinting that this is a multiple id scenario, but the fact that the member admits it does not also absolve the action, as the intent was malicious...
Pls see the reproduction below: (post by the id "
palindrome" today)
1) I used to post under a diff username previously. I shifted to a new username for a reason: too many ppl knew i was posting under that name, incl family members. And i wanted some anonymity as privacy to post views that wud most likely have caused anguish to them. The idea was to take on bala and mango actually. However, what i am is far too obvious no matter under what name i post. And therefore i have given up trying to have any anonymity or privacy.
I am now surprised that such incidents are allowed to happen in a common forum where we should be striving to the progress of our community.
I am not again going to point out that a fair arbitration should seek to redress the points of both the parties concerned...
Certain members seem to be repeatedly point out that s007bala is messing up with the forum, but they fail to understand that their outright/blatant retaliation does not help the cause either! Why retaliate and then complain? If something is not according to one's taste, it should be left alone - why prod and maul it, and then cry foul...?
I am not bothered whether we attain the higher philosophical truth or not, but let us not lose our sanity on a virtual forum, gaining only distorted perceptions in the end...
If this is the kind of implicit message that is sent out to members like me, I would have no interest in participating in the forum... This is not out of frustration or dejection, but due to the good sense to keep my mind peaceful... and clear of the poison that is spreading here..
Thanks & Regards,
