Collegefootballrocks, thanks for your message. I do understand that once in a while it may be difficult to control one's temper.

Nagarikreport,

If I am to understand you correctly, your issue with sajha is that you think people are promoting Maoism here in sajha. You have a right to express your dissatisfaction at that. But here's the bigger picture. It's not like one or two persons are writing positive things about Maoism here but multiple people expressing their opinion and hopes they have on the current PM. If one person was re-repeating same stuff all the time about his support for Maoism, then that would be a cause for concern but different individuals writing about Maoism randomly is not a cause for concern nor a conspiracy.

You might ask why? Just look at Nepal. Maoist won majority in the Nepalese Assembly. They won the election showing that majority of Nepal supports them. Sajha is just a microcosm of Nepal in the virtual world. In a democratic world, majority votes to put their popular party in power. And thus the Maoist came into mainstream politics in Nepal. That is how democracy works.

Having said that, I personally denounce any form of pain, suffering and killing of human beings and strongly feel against the murderous tactics used by the Maoist to gain the stronghold that has led to their current position. But ideological differences have to be set aside in a democracy. In every democratic country like in the US, there are oppositions that go neck to neck in elections but after the election everyone has to support the majority elected government.

What they did, ie. pain, suffering and killing of Nepalis, was wrong in my personal opinion and I am sure many others including the victims. But as I said, democracy is a voice of the majority and you have to respect that if you want to be a part of the democracy. Many more people, who have fought for democracy, have been declared martyrs in Nepal's history. They have fought for the democracy where the majority would be able to vote for their choice of government.

That does not necessarily mean that democracy is always right, because there will always be a lot of grey areas which is always open for discussion. It may be right for a country where most people are literate and can make educated decisions. It may not be positive for a country where most people are illiterate because their decisions may not be the right one for the betterment of the country and citizens.

Coming back to your case. Let's look at your options. You have been victimized by the Maoist during their fight for power. But now that they occupy the government PM position, you feel cheated and want justice. You don't care anymore for democracy. You care for your personal justice. You cannot go around Nepal screaming "Maoists are terrorists and all of Nepal are terrorists because they support maoists." - which is what your logic implies. So you find a virtual solace and come to sajha to scream the same thing - replacing Nepal by Sajha.

I don't know what would happen in Nepal if you did that for too long. But in sajha you are allowed to voice your dissatisfactions but you are warned to not take shots at others for disagreeing with you. I don't think anyone disagrees with you that you were wronged. But everyone is allowed to move on. I am sure that it is very difficult for you to move on and  I sincerely hope that you will find peace in your heart someday. Others may have not been affected as much as you and they have moved on for a better hope for nepal and their future. You cannot start hating others for not feeling like you do.

Bottom line, please stop spewing hatred in sajha. If you want to discuss with valid points please do so, if you have to start calling other names for having different perspective than you, and if you keep continuing that then I will have to wish you a better journey somewhere else.
