I refuse to be a part of this. In my book, the two messages of femmous are provocative, and full of personal attacks. I deleted them as a mod and while doing so I did not seek any superiority or authority. I just did what commonsense ordered.

 

Let this be an opportunity to declare people that I protest this and quit as a mod.

Quoting catwoman

It is not free to ridicule people here, but everybody is an adult, right? We don´t have to react to every single post. Most people can judge for themselves and what some say, means more about them then about those they ridicule. Instead of policing every post, we can respond to it and by the strength of reason not by the strength of force and deletions we can win.

 

 So,i should use common sense and say,

Tell me  femmeous  dear why do you think being in Egypt is sick

And maybe start to search for artickles talking about how sunny and generouse Egypt is,and post picture and ...etc

Or do you prefer to play by her rules and start attack her for her attitudes towards others,and mentality ,and maybe dig where she is from and stary to ridicule it ?

And if i tend to use the polite way,and neglect,and send admin/mods pm´s about it,then i be labled by being cowered ?!

Or maybe its better that to just sit back,be thickskinned and watch and laugh and take it as a joke ?!!

Ý wonder which path do you think i should use then ?!!

Be fair and if you think femme went too far tell the same to Doudi, who ridiculised the people of Southern-Egypt by calling them all backwards. Or, just shrug and do nothing.

OK Doudi is wrong. What will we do now? What we are discussing is whether we should stop these kinds of verbal attacks on people or not. So, what is your oopinion Trudy?

Canli, she said that "she feels like she´s in Iran or Egypt" because she was being censored! And she called ´that´ as ´sick´, she did not say that Egypt is sick!

Catwoman she called those complaining people to mods coward chickens.

 

It feels like Iran or Egypt. Sick.   It doesn´t take a lot of power of reasoning to understand what is implied here. You are also implying the same thing by making that explanation. What part are you objecting to really: Sick?

 

You should know that many people refrain from implying such things out of politeness. Do you want a war of words to begin where everyone attacks one another´s country?

She was not nice, she was rude in expressing her message... but I don´t think this was enough of a reason for deletion, that´s all.

My idea of an insult is quite different from that from many others, I think. I don´t mind if you call me and my countrymen bed, stupid, silly, morons, backwards, sinful, gay etc. I don´t mind if you say that ´the´ West (as if there is just one....) is evil, atheistic, racist etc. The only thing I want in return is that I can call the governments, the actions of certain groups (not all people of a complete country), the rules and rituals of certain cultures or religions the same.

 

Of course I have my sensitivities as well, of course sometimes I can´t handle everything because of my mood/state of mind, of course one can hurt me but mostly if someone tells me that I, my country or the complete West is .... (fill in at your choice) I shrug and think what my grandmother always said ´it´s better that you say it than a complete sane person´. (You = general, not as in Vineyards!)

 

My limits? Telling someone s/he is a person with Down-syndrome, an aids-patient, wishing cancer or other lethal diseases to an opponent, threatening with violence or death. Stuff like that.

 

And what to do? Mostly nothing. It´ll pass.

 I have to agree.  Femmeous´ post was rude but I don´t think it was bad enough to need  deleting - especially as this just reinforced what she was complaining about .
