It's one thing to be an active Sajha contributor by taking, to use the layman's term, 'piss' on someone in a healthy manner, but it is quite another to pick up petty excuses to engage the other party in a decidedly confrontational manner to try and prove one's point, and that is by bringing one's personal matters to the fore. Now that to me is harrassment rather than any thing, and those who spew the basest of vidictive verbal abuse to score personal gains at the expense of one's humility and genuine thoghtfulness, be that in a forum such as Sajha's or elsewhere, derseve none of my sympathy or anyone else's. Those whose interests sits elewhere and yes, particularly those who cannot bring themselves to follow what's generally accepted as its standard norm should not even bother visiting Sajha or any other sites for that matter. Those of us in need of light humour and entertainment and those with an appetite to absorb and where possible, engage in so a many meaningful debates that takes place on a daily basis in these Sajha forums, could do well without such, dare I say, uncivilised behaviours. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Agreed whole-heartidly. I find that people end up debating the skills and intellect of each other in order to 'win' or justify their positions rather than debating issues at hand with a view to reaching some kind of mutual understanding (however hard this might be).Wish there were more people who thought like you. I don't know why people like to pull each others legs, and pick on them in the very first chance they get. I myself have seen such behaviour in many places, looks like the best way is to ignore. People with a bit of intelligence will figure out what those people are upto. Considering so many of the discussions lately emotions are higher than normal, high enough in many it would seem to force the concepts of any type of actual debate or discussion out the window. I'd also like to add that this type of behavior is not neccessarly wide spread amoung all of the posters here, rather it's the repeated back and forth actions of a few. Peace
