Being just a mute reader of Sajha for a long time, what prompted me again to write today, is the response of SAN to NEPE. It seems quite evident that it is not too hard to disentangle Nepe's intended line of argument here. What baffles me more is SAN's mediocre response to NEPE.

"I would like to take this opportunity to point out that a single thread like this or few threads with controvertial topic in no way affects the ad revenues in sajha."

Sorry but no sorry. It does affect the ad revenue in Sajha. If I am wrong, would you please enlighten me about the revenue model that Sajha follows.

There is no argument that Sajha is helping people come together but how hard is it to admit as well that Sajha also depends on online ad-revenue model to sustain and perhaps, thrive among the community.

"As an informed internet user, I am sure that you can imagine what kind of content could have been introduced within sajha in order to increase the hits if that was the most important thing for sajha."

I feel weary of the dull and prehensile attempt to prove the point that Sajha does not intend to increase the hits.No one is arguing about what could have been, should have been or would have been the category of Sajha site. It is your site. You know it better about the implications and consequences of having the site redered to your 'could have been' category. The judgement lies on you.

"Again, if this was something that originated from sajha or had the potential of originating from sajha to a wider audience, then I can understand the need to remove it ASAP and I would be happy to comply."

SAN's argument remains valid but I'm sure he also understands that the people who hide themselves in digital anonymity to smear others are not only hurting the victim but also damaging the sense of trust to us all, on and offline. It's a different question altogether how wide does SAN want to expose himself for potential damages that might be claimed against Sajha.

 

"But would it have any impact on what Namrata has to go through?"

This response won the biggest piece of pie. How could one be so blatantly ignorant about the embarrassing emotional trauma the victim might be going through?

With due repect, SAN, please go blow your brains out, you've got nothing to lose then.
