fineleg Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 Its outrageous that folks have ganged up on dandaroy and abusing him to the point that he had to leave. Dandaroy, Realize there are mean people in this world/forum who will not allow you to state something without abusing you. Just give it back to them or ignore them. Do not leave. Come back.

Dravid Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 LOL,i thought he just use to do it cus it was working for us to win games Link to comment
Holysmoke Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 :hysterical: If he can read this thread, there's no reason for you to call him back :haha: Link to comment
fineleg Posted October 14, 2007 Author Share Posted October 14, 2007 Yes, but there seems to be a lynch mob out here that lynches anyone who states opinion that does not "conform to their way" of thinking. Examples: 1. Poster A says Indian team is pathetic or Poster A says "Player XYZ is a selfish a$$" You can disagree with poster A. You can ignore poster A. You can even say Poster A's statement is stupid. But you cannot say Poster A is a retard, or he/she should LEAVE the forum. 2. Poster A says Indian team is surely going to lose the match or series before the start of match/series. You can disagree with poster A. You can ignore poster A. You can even say Poster A's statement is stupid. But you cannot say Poster A is a retard, or he/she should LEAVE the forum. 3. Poster A says "He wishes to be an Australian, Jamaican or American"...whatever (esp. it is clear he said it out of frustration) But lets assume he meant it. That's his wish. Not for others to attack the poster. Sure you can "comment about the post", but not attack the poster personally. But Lynch Mob thinks otherwise? Link to comment

But your Highness, I only can hope he will read this as a Guest or something. :hatsoff: Link to comment

Not for others to attack the poster. Sure you can "comment about the post", but not attack the poster personally. But Lynch Mob thinks otherwise? If the poster says he'd rather be Australian than be Indian, is it not basic courtesy to forward him to an Aussie fansite? If the poster says" It is going to ass-raping down under later this year.......I shiver to even think about it.", is it not basic courtesy to suggest to him to stop following cricket, checking cricinfo, and checking this site, so he can have a less scary time?

fineleg Posted October 14, 2007 Author Share Posted October 14, 2007 If the poster says he'd rather be Australian than be Indian, is it not basic courtesy to forward him to an Aussie fansite? Sure, if he expresses that intent, then give him the link of Aussie fansite. However do NOT attack him, and ask him to "get out", "be deported" etc. No one will be upset if you give him an Aussie fansite, give him that. The personal attacks are what is being questioned here. Will wait to hear from the lynch mob on that. If the poster says" It is going to ass-raping down under later this year.......I shiver to even think about it.", is it not basic courtesy to suggest to him to stop following cricket, checking cricinfo, and checking this site, so he can have a less scary time?Sure, again, you can suggest stop following cricket, check cricinfo, check site to have less scary time. This WAS suggested, and I dont think dandaroy got upset because of above suggestion. The complaint is all about things like "Rajeev stating MOD WISH is for dandaroy to leave the forum" etc, and then numerous other personal attacks that caused the lynching effect. Mods coming and saying things like that is quite serious stuff. If you want to state "suggestions for less scary time", no one is protesting that. It is very wrong for a site owner / Moderator(s) to come and ask someone to leave, because he stated his desire for a certain nationality. That is very wrong, and then people piled on top to lynch further. Link to comment
fineleg Posted October 14, 2007 Author Share Posted October 14, 2007 Why/how would I know his email ID? Precisely. So, I atleast want to try this option hoping he can read as Guest. Link to comment
Holysmoke Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 Precisely. So' date=' I atleast want to try this option hoping he can read as Guest.[/quote'] But if he reads it as a guest, isnt he going back on his word? How are we going to respect him then?:haha: Anyways, im just fooling around.. he'll be back in 15 days... Link to comment

You should respect him, because for all the disgusting lynching that took place, he still has the passion and attachment to read and post. Link to comment
fineleg Posted October 14, 2007 Author Share Posted October 14, 2007 Dandaroy, Understand one thing - there are people who hate you on this forum. But they are not all the people here, that is a subset. Dont worry about such lynch mobs, and dont let them deter you away. Link to comment
