It is indeed flattering to see my name posted all over another forum adorned with colorful adjectives. On the same note I received a rather long email from a banned user whose introduction I'm pasting below: (Before you read: Mr. Admin, I have decided to post this on Darjleing forum, I would like you to read it first before anyone does, and tell me what do you think. Do you still justify your acts? It is indeed a long message to read, but do read. I am very sadly disappointed with you amateur acts and I cannot resist it anymore. San one more thing, do remember as you said you have everything to loose and I have nothing to loose, created because of your own childish acts) I am infact happy that few people that sajha had to ban have found an outlet to post their grievances. I am not going to go on a crusade to defend myself because I don't think I have done anything wrong that I need to defend myself. In any case, here's is my reply to the person whose introduction i pasted above. This will serve to be my answer for all users with discontentment.
NAME WITHHELD, You are free to post it in darj forum like few others who wanted their voice heard. I have no problems with that. In fact I'm flattered that you think I'm worthy of so much thought and time you must have put into your piece. But I will warn you brother that it will only prove to show how immature you are. If you want to post your message, I ask you to post this message to you as well, since I am not gonna be going to sites and trying to defend myself. Simple reason you are banned is because you have a habit of bringing up sajha policies and posting it in kurakani - when as you will note in the Acceptable Use Policy it asks you not to do that. I am not running sajha site so that I can have small bickering with individuals in the site. Out of 10,000 users 10 people are unhappy but those 10 people can argue all day in the site requiring me to keep posting replies every hour or so! And I simply don't want to do that, because I have better things to do than keep on answering to those 10 people. THAT IS WHY, I ASK PEOPLE TO EMAIL ME DIRECTLY IF THEY HAVE ANY ISSUES (in ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY in ABOUT US page) and we could solve it personally instead of them trying to put me on public trial in MY site! I just don't have time for that. I try my best to not let anyone use the sajha forum to indulge in personal mud slinging and I definitely don't want to indulge in it myself by going back and forth with people with dissent. I have a bigger picture in mind for sajha and am happy to see that it has been fairly successful in bringing together a large bulk of nepali web surfers to interact with each other. I never want to ban anyone's IP address, but I am not going to let someone actively pursue in a propaganda of hate against sajha policies in sajha itself. If you don't like the way things are you are not forced to visit sajha. It says clearly on the Disclaimer that if you don't like the way this site is run, your best remedy is to discontinue the use of this site. You are free like those guys who have posted things about me and called me names in the Darj forum. Anyone with a fair mind will know that I have done the right thing. I own sajha and I have every right to ban someone who does not follow the few basic rules that I have set. I think it is very stupid to make a big deal out of it. If you're at someone else's house, you have to follow the house rules otherwise the host will ask you to stay out. As simple as that. It is nothing to write Mahabharat about like you're done and few disgruntled people have done in Darjeeling chat. For those people I really have nothing to say because inspite of preaching democracy, they fail to recognize a basis essence of democracy such as ownership and the rights of ownership. I own sajha and I have very few rules in place so that sajha runs smoothly. Sajha is open for everyone as long as they treat sajha as their own house, as soon as someone starts defacing the house and pasting negative messages of hate and intolerance all over the house, sajha is not open to them anymore. And that's a very basic rule of the house. And all the hue and cry is for nothing besides their inability to respect someone's ownership rights. That's all there is to it. (Name withheld), I know it does hurt the ego when you get banned, but you have to know that it's not personal. Sajha is where it is today because along the way, once in a while, I have had to make decisions which are not tasteful to a few users who cannot follow the house rules. Best wishes to you and your endeavours. San
