Once in a while go back and read your comments. Aren't you concerned that your anger and finger pointing and sarcasm clearly show through?
I am just one reader. But I can assure you that anyone who reads anything, whether it's your comments, articles, books, whatever, can get a sense of what type of writer they're dealing with as a person. And many of you -- many of us -- come off as Angry people -- with a capital A. There are a million reasons why we harbor this anger. But I just want to remind you that angry people a) don't have an audience, b) have no friends.
Who wants to sit and watch someone shouting and cursing? It might be funny, curious or interesting to observe a fight but there's so much an average person can take. There's nothing gained. Zanandas. Do you care?
Instead of reading ugly outbursts where nothing is learned, your audience will move on to other things that give positive energy. That makes them smile. That makes them think.
So again, read your own comments. Look in the mirror once a while. That's what the world sees. Are you happy with it?

by Souri on Fri Sep 25, 2009 07:17 AM PDTMy comment to JJ is still here in this same blog. You can just copy and post it here again! You know how to do!!!! As you do it all the time, taking a phrase out of its context and post it.
Or....
Better again, you can copy and add it into your last post in my blog.
Ms. Souri -
by capt_ayhab on Fri Sep 25, 2009 07:15 AM PDTYou state[ And yes, I do attack people who are offensive to others! I always did it and will continue to do it, this is my life!]
Then why are you complaining constantly that people attack you. As one of the gentleman put it, [every action has an equal or greater reaction].
Ever since that episode with that gentleman you have been attacking him, blogging about him, and calling him all the name in the book non stop, even though he apologized for what he said to you.
Be honest, who is the problem here? Him[who apologized], or you, who seems not to be able to let it go?
Life can be much more easier if one can forgive and forget. Donya ke be akhar naresideh ke!

this woman lives here in Iranian.com
and she lies like there is no tomorrow.
She told JJ to remove my comment , I wish I had saved her comment to prove what a liar she is.
that is it for me. I never trusted JJ when he claimed to be an impartial editor, so did so many other people.

by Souri on Fri Sep 25, 2009 06:53 AM PDTI didn't flag your comment in that blog. It has been flagged by other peoples (the silent majority?), not me!
Then you came back to insult JJ with the very bad words of your usual habit. I never let such thing stay under my own blog! And the people who goes through this shameful tactic as you do, yes they have to see their account deleted definitely.
This is where JJ is not doing his job! We don't want just an aspirin, we want to cure the illness!
I'd checked your account, it's a two years old user names. But in two years you have posted only two posts, both vulgar!
How many "yadaki" account do you need for proving your pathetic character?

by Cyrus-SX on Fri Sep 25, 2009 06:41 AM PDTI agree with you 100%
A couple of months ago I made a suggestion to people living outside Iran not to wear masks when people in Iran who face the regime don't wear any.
And this woman had to stick her nose in and criticise me for not putting my pic beside my comment. And I said if I had put anyone's pic there she would not have noticed it at all. And she goes on blaming everyone.
She even went on telling JJ to remove my comment when I wrote that I look a lot better than her after she has put on a ton of make up. And JJ did remove my comment. She even went on as far as telling JJ to remove my account from ever writing here again. Shameless or what ?
And JJ goes on telling ; let's look at ourselves.
Well well well, Mr JJ ; take a look at yourself for being a 2 face and an impartial editor claiming NOTHING IS SACRED.
Princess; some people are good at telling others what to do and turn around and do the opposit with no shame.

by Souri on Fri Sep 25, 2009 05:33 AM PDTI know what you mean. I heard you many times before, too. I do not remember having had any conflict with you personally, but maybe with another user name of yours.
You had pronounced yourself in that Napoleon Complex blog too.
If you see me as a person who "meddle in other people's affairs" then you may see things from a different angle! I always confront people who disrespect others by calling name and personal attack. This is for the respect to general aspect of the communication in the site.
You call yourself "the silent majority" who do not approve my confrontational attitude. But the silent majority, should speak.
They have to say what they like and what they don't like.I do.
As you said, I don't use insults and profanity (Thanks God) but you are tired of seeing me as "constantly getting involved in the conflicts".
That is because there are more and more conflict in the site. You said that I have no sense of boundaries and respect for other people to be different and think differently.
This is absurd! How many times I had defended people's right of expression while I wasn't agree with them?
In this site, as long as I remember, I have defended many people but even: Zion, Jaleho, Nur and even Parinaz or the other ladies who writes erotic stories.
They all thinks differently than me. But I went to defend their right of speak, each time they have been attacked.
And yes, I do attack people who are offensive to others! I always did it and will continue to do it, this is my life!
People who stay silent because they think they give a right to the freedom, are not doing their part of responsibility to the humanity.

by Princess on Fri Sep 25, 2009 12:21 AM PDTThanks for backing my suggestion. I, too, hope the administrators will consider it.
Personally, I have more of a problem with aggressive characters than with people who use ugly words to express themselves. There are a few characters on this site who constantly give themselves the right to meddle in other people's affairs and tell other people what to do, and how to behave, yet they don't seem to realise that by such conduct, they are a big part of the problem.
Often some of the comments I read by these individuals make my jaw drop, not because they are using insulting words, but because they seem to have no sense of boundaries and respect for other people to be different and think differently. The last thing we want here is to try to turn everybody into clones of Princess, or Alborz, or JJ, etc. and if and when that day comes believe me a lot more people will leave.
Those who constantly get involved in conflicts on this site, yet believe themselves to be on a moral high horse contribute a big part to the ugly atmosphere on this site. While they are constantly pointing out other people's shortcomings, they seem oblivious of their own role in all this. That is why I suggested an 'automatic' scorecard, in the hope that by seeing it black on white, it might get them thinking.
As for the role of the silent majority, I agree with you, but I also can't blame anyone who does not want to get involved in these ugly cat and dog fights. Ironically, often I have read comments by some individuals who presume things, yet I know for a fact that they are wrong and could prove it. However, because I have been able to observe how they interact with other people, I want to avoid them at any cost, so I let them get on with it and make a fool of themselves to others who might know the same thing I know.
Any way, that will definitely have to be my last contribution to this thread.
Take care,
Princess
I don't recall anyone inviting you to write or comment
by Q on Thu Sep 24, 2009 11:48 PM PDTMr. Faramarz,
What's your point?
We're all in the same boat, in that we can write almost anything. The question is how much respect you have for the readers and the website.
Dear *Souri*
by Anvar on Thu Sep 24, 2009 11:45 PM PDTI’m glad you enjoyed the video ( with respect to our friend *khar* here, of course : ) It helps to have a sense of humor.
Earlier, you stated: “Sorry, in my world, these things are not acceptable. Then if they are for you, I'll be out!”
These things are not acceptable to many of us either.
Instead of boring you with my own thoughts, I’ll just redirect you to these particular comments that are worth going over:
*Shepesh*: “I hope that this site does not become a bully playground, but a place of discussion for broad minded people.”
- Those of us who believe in this goal should try to implement it. Help if you agree.
*Jaleho*: “Why are you going out because some idiots writes garbage?!”
- Good point. Help them learn not to write garbage.
*alborz*: “I want to simply appeal to the 'silent' majority to make their presence and stance known and realize that their participation will effectively dilute and hopefully 'drown' the hatred on this forum.”
- Excellent points on taking a stance and how the voices of reason can dilute hatred. Do not join the silent majority.

by Faramarz_Fateh on Thu Sep 24, 2009 10:48 PM PDTMr. Q,
You don't need to be a part of anything you don't want to be a part of.
One of the great services that internet provides is that misinformation and disinformation can be immediately identified and countered.
Perhaps we're getting somewhere
by Q on Thu Sep 24, 2009 10:01 PM PDTReading the comments, we have identified at least some part of the paroblem. We have several people who are on the record saying that a) They are Angry, and b) They can't control themselves.
Now, I understand how powerful therapy can be and it seems the people who can't control themselves are using JJ's site for therapy. I suppose JJ is doing a service for their family and immediate loved ones.
But do the rest of us really have to be a part of this?
dear Anvar
by Souri on Thu Sep 24, 2009 09:18 PM PDTThanks for the nice and wise video! It made me laugh and having a better mood ;)
but I must leave here as the space is becoming too much crowded with same old tactic of the same old gang now.
Thanks again for your nice intention.

by oktaby on Thu Sep 24, 2009 09:13 PM PDTOne can be abusive and offensive without ever using a foul word so mere use of the F word does not constitute profanity. Here is the academic overview of the roots and utility of this word: //www.maniacworld.com/f-81.htm

by anonymous111.2 on Thu Sep 24, 2009 08:57 PM PDTBefore you go around and insult, slander and attack people make sure you have: 1) your facts straight, and 2) the guts to take the heat when you get the much deserved response, and to face the consequences if you are proven wrong.

Oh, Fuck These Comments...
by Onlyiran on Thu Sep 24, 2009 08:36 PM PDTI'm bored.
Expanding on the idea by The Mrs., what one can consider profanity, can also be used in other contexts, especially in modern American English, like what I have attempted to do here. The phrase "fuck these comments", while it may appear as a dragatory term targeted at the comments, is, in fact, an expression by me implying that I do not care to read the comments. It is not an insult to anyone or any group of people, but rather a figure of speech and an expression. In that context, there is no need for flagging or removal in my opinion.

TheMrs khanom: good point...
by Souri on Thu Sep 24, 2009 07:44 PM PDTNow, please try to get the real picture here:
Suppose that you are silently reading all the comment on a hectic subject where people are passionate and fully disagree.
Then you see someone who never bring a serious point (politically speaking) comes and out of the blue, attack two/three of the members with vulgar words of (chaleh meidouni) talking about the baton and ass!
Then you, as a silent reader, you show your frustration in a polite and even indirect way! then the same guy, say to you that you deserve same treatment, as you came there to defend those people!
Suppose that, this guy is in a gang, then they will always chase you to attack you and ridicule you!
Suppose that you do not have any other account and you are here with your true identity. and suppose that you refuse to get another account, just to hide from the idiocies of this gang!
When will this finish?
