I can confirm that one mozaismyhero is no more on QL. The person's profile appears to be banned from this website. I do not endorse nor condemn this decision as it is purely a management decision. I just wanted to be the first to deliver the news.
Thanks for sharing but hijacking threads is still against the rules here. Why do not you just make a separate thread if you really want to share your achivement of being a researcher yourself and currently helping someone on QL with their research. No need to get emotional, just make a new topic. Just a suggestion.
Agree with Brit...lock this thread or even better, get rid of it...I mean dump it in red sea else its (MIMH) ghost would keep haunting QL defeating the good work of the mods.
Segmund i know u know how to read.. Read my last two words so u will understand that im 'just sharing' NOT trying to connect with the topic. Im just so glad that i am able to help someone who is not my kababayan and and also a QLer. That is the right way to help unlike ur client (MIMH) which happens to be the same the way u compose ur sentences and the same thinking as yours, who wanted to help by stating the truth according to him, through attacking and bashing other people & races. In this thread i just noticed Moza & YOU have a similar way of composing ur statements. Basing on ur loooonnnggg comments here.. The way u make each & every paragraph, the number of paragraphs u make, the choice of words are really similar...Is that coincidence or i am right that u & moza r one? And of all the topic that u can post u preferred this one. Why? to see the reaction of QLers about ur other account? Just saying...
I am really sorry but I really do not see any connection between this topic and the fact that you are helping someone with research. Do not take me wrong but what exactly is the point that you are trying to make here?
Brit: Well, you are right, but just for the sake of discussion, let us keep on talking. Nobody is hurt anyways. We are even not sure whether MIH is a guy or a girl. So no matter what we say about the person is not going to affect the person in any way whatsoever.
Let us just keep the buzz up. What is wrong with that.
I am not sure about MIMH, but MOD blocked my account as well. I was very friendly and active in QL few months ago.I know most of you and if i tell my old name you will also smile on it. It was just their own technical error and they still did not gave me my account back. Now I am just using QL to get some important answers/opinions and socialising in other websites/forums which values your presence & uniqueness. If they want forums sections to be alive they should not block usernames for any such small reasons. It just makes us feel like MOD ruin all the hard work of years which we made socialising. Anyway dictatorship is everywhere.
RIP bro..but i know there are a lot of u still around..anyways, while his speech is so touching still u dont have the right attack any race or country or government even if what u r saying is true to heaven. Free speech comes with responsibility. U can talk about anything in public about ur own race, country, or government and i will not give a damn. But my own country? u r crossing the line. Just mind ur own business and we will be alright. Btw, sorry for being away in a while..bcoz i am helping one of the QLers here in his research for his Master's Degree that is why i am so pre-occupied. This guy i met here in QL was looking for help to finish his strategic management research being a researcher myself i offered my help. Just sharing...
Well I am going to miss her sense of humor. Her non satirical posts were obviously going to get her into trouble, and she must have known what was coming. I credit her with too much intelligence not to have. I believe she may have even welcomed deletion in the end, and may have even decided to expedite it. But anyway, as someone up top mentioned, there is no need to gloat, and I see no need for this thread. Lots of people have come and gone in the past and I have never seen any of them attacked in such a way following their demise. A brief cheer maybe in some cases especially when there was too much food involved. But come on, this is kicking someone when they are down. Give it a rest.
MIMH enjoy your time off of QL, and perhaps return one day when you are ready. Although perhaps a tad less controversial next time ehh... ;)
I am completely split between siding with the moderators who decided to ban MIMH from the site and with MIMH who was unilaterally banned.
As to the moderators, I have been the victim of their wrath myself quite a few times. I have seen my comments being deleted, edited and warnings being sent against my otherwise innocent posts. I have seen many people being disallowed from the site for seemingly trivial matters. However, it is not as simple as that. I have been a moderator of many web forums in the past and I can only imagine how tough the responsibility is. It is extremely difficult a task to strike a balance between allowing freedom of speech and disallowing infringement upon others' rights. Sometimes, the moderators themselves are very hurt (yes, hurt) when they decide to ban someone because there is simply no other alternative.
Qatar Living is a site not restricted to just a certain group. Almost everyone living in Qatar is on this site. The sheer size of the audience warrants legal obligations. Qatar, al-hamdulillah, is a secure and safe country and its intelligence agencies are always on the guard to curb any unlawful activities. Something which may not be permissible by law here is obviously not wanted on this site either. Although the moderators would not be held directly responsible for any such material, they can still be viewed as tacitly allowing such materials to be presented if they do not actively take steps to stop it.
I am sorry to mention it but in case of MIMH, most of the person's posts centered on Saudi Arabia and how it is unfair in so many ways, how common prostitution is in Qatar, why Atheists are not allowed to raise a voice and all the flaws present in many nationalities.
I personally do not mind reading any such stuff, but if I was the moderator myself, I would obviously not allow such unilateral thoughts to be present on a website which has nothing to do with politics, social class and the like. A neutral website is supposed to have neutral topics.
I can also not understand how MIMH did not see the fact that crime rate in SA and in other gulf countries is significantly lower than other countries, that Qatar's economy is booming and that people living here, locals as well as foreigners, are very content and satisfied and are thankful to its government for making it such a thriving place, that monks have literally butchered and burned alive thousands of innocent muslims, that hunger is still an issue throughout the world, that different kind of persecution based on gender and ethnicity exists in almost every country of the world, that atheism is against the dogmas of Islam, that science and research need to be set as priorities for the muslim world and the humanity as well.
There is an endless list of topics that MIMH could have chosen from to talk about here on QL. However, the person chose a select few topics and kept on posting them siting news items from here and there. If anyone questioned, their mother had not taught them well, according to MIMH. Almost every nationality was for her something to be ridiculed and laughed at. If MIMH ever saw that people too many people teamed up in opposition, the easy escape was, "It is not relevant anymore, I am out of here."
It would have been exceedingnly difficult for the moderators here to allow MIMH to proceed with the narrow minded perspective of things. They had simply no choice but to slap a ban.
On a second thought, before we speculate further, there is a need to perform a psychological autopsy on MIMH. After carefully going through most of the MIMH's posts, it appears to me that the person was not as evil and blackguard as they made themselves to be. I strongly suspect that there was abuse of the person's right somewhere in the past based on gender, ethnicity, sexual or religious orientation. This abuse was such that it left the person with serious unresovled intra psychic conflicts.
These posts were a cry for help, a cry to be heard. But as my sister Fatimah mentioned somewhere before in another post, ranting in the wrong ears could lead to deleterious consequences. This is what happened in her case as well. She chose the wrong channel, and the wrong audience to address her personal issues.
As a person, I feel extremely sorry for MIMH to have lost membership to this site. Although, there are many other websites that MIMH can join, the very idea of being banned is really hurting. I still remember how awkward I felt when my Facebook account was banned after I grilled another member.
I believe rather than taking it as a personal insult, MIMH should make this ban as a corrective experience and can join the site with a new zeal, determined to post with a broader perspective and take care not to offend on a constant basis.
The moderators, I expect and I hope, would be willing to receive MIMH with open arms establishing the old tradition of Arab hospitality.
i didn't intend to say anything about this. but no one can claim a monopoly to the truth nor have the hubris to claim that only the truth comes out of them. no one should invoke the right to free speech if they are not aware of the responsibilities that should come with such freedoms.
lol...very diplomatic parting speech (if it truly is one), but guess some like me can see through that diplomacy, the bias and the disdain. Own it up that your intentions were to stir sh*t, make a mockery of people, rather than keeping your POV pinned to whatever issues you diplomatically stated now, if you are really as responsible as you portray yourself. And if that was your last speech, trust me, you wouldnt be missed, atleast not by me and a few other like minded QLers who don't wear masks.
The church put Galileo under house arrest for telling the truth. They needed 400 years for an official pardon saying they didn't know better at that time. In 2412, MIMH, QL will also ask for your pardon. Don't worry.
I promised if I got blocked then no more posts, so just one to clear a few things up and then bye.
I only ever spoke the truth, except in satirical posts, even if it was distasteful for some, be it the corrupt POEA and philippine immigration or oppression and intolerance in Qatar, Saudi, Iran, israel or wherever. I posted on a wide range of subjects and nationalities but the righteous indignant only picked up if it was there country or their religion and accused me of bias. How wrong they were!
Maybe sometimes the truth hurts and I put it in a less than delicate way, open prostitution in the bars of Qatar for instance, but it is still the truth and to be censored for the truth is wrong.
Qatar Living panders to the loudest voices and is scared of its own place in society. However as I have said before the owners are not supporters of free speech and do not have to be, they can do what they like with their site, delete comments, block users that is their right. However QL is the poorer for it and will eventually fade away.
Qatar itself is heading in the right direction, empowerment and education of women, the support of the oppressed in Arab lands and even employment and business opportunities for women. This is important as women are half of society and the traditional and cultural suppression of women has to end now. Let's hope the abusive regimes in Iran and Saudi can learn from this, using religion to oppress people is the worst of all crimes.
One last thing, I do not have any other IDs so you are just fooling yourself thinking you are smart and the hatred towards me shows how shallow and intolerant many of you are. Good luck with that......

People reinvent themselves all the time in the real world. In the virtual world, it's so much easier.
As for coming back in another guise, what else is new anyway? And he'll not be the only one who's done that a few times before nor will he be the last.
Well, I had also once alluded to the possibility. However, I do not think we can be so damn sure. I mean until we have some real, first hand evidence, we can not say anything with any certainty.
How can you guys be so sure it was a male and not a female? You all appear so confident as to his masculanity that one would feel you had run a DNA test or performed a genital examination on MIH. Or do you believe a girl instinctively incapable of stoking dissent?

Thanks for sharing but hijacking threads is still against the rules here. Why do not you just make a separate thread if you really want to share your achivement of being a researcher yourself and currently helping someone on QL with their research. No need to get emotional, just make a new topic. Just a suggestion.
Agree with Brit...lock this thread or even better, get rid of it...I mean dump it in red sea else its (MIMH) ghost would keep haunting QL defeating the good work of the mods.
MIMH bashed on all except Pakistanis now I wonder why
You are very close to the truth ..
Plz refer to Community Guideline No : 3 ! :)
Segmund i know u know how to read.. Read my last two words so u will understand that im 'just sharing' NOT trying to connect with the topic. Im just so glad that i am able to help someone who is not my kababayan and and also a QLer. That is the right way to help unlike ur client (MIMH) which happens to be the same the way u compose ur sentences and the same thinking as yours, who wanted to help by stating the truth according to him, through attacking and bashing other people & races. In this thread i just noticed Moza & YOU have a similar way of composing ur statements. Basing on ur loooonnnggg comments here.. The way u make each & every paragraph, the number of paragraphs u make, the choice of words are really similar...Is that coincidence or i am right that u & moza r one? And of all the topic that u can post u preferred this one. Why? to see the reaction of QLers about ur other account? Just saying...
Awwww!
I will miss MIMH's sarcasm and humour... RIP buddy :-(
Violation of ql guidelines. Why is this topic still here?
landlover..I know your old id...:)
Bro, I need to smile, can you PM me your name.
'' ... I do not endorse nor condemn this decision as it is purely a management decision. I just wanted to be the first to deliver the news.''
'' ... I am completely split between siding with the moderators who decided to ban MIMH from the site and with MIMH who was unilaterally banned.''
So what is your final resolve then ?
I am really sorry but I really do not see any connection between this topic and the fact that you are helping someone with research. Do not take me wrong but what exactly is the point that you are trying to make here?

Why brit?

Whos MIMH???

There is no point in going public about my profession. But I know what I talk about.
ghalalz, you do me great honor to say so.
He is a gifted writer!
Are you a psychiatrist?

I pray to Allah to help us all.
He'll be banned for as long as it takes to create a new ID--about five minutes.
What's with the obsession with some on QL about banning, etc.? No one is every really banned unless they want to be.
hear hear prism.
i didn't intend to say anything about this. but no one can claim a monopoly to the truth nor have the hubris to claim that only the truth comes out of them. no one should invoke the right to free speech if they are not aware of the responsibilities that should come with such freedoms.
MIMH mother wanted a son
MIMH father wanted a daughter
When MIMH was born - Both were happy.
MIMH may have the right intentions in his/her heart...but the way he express it in words is condescending.
oh well, good luck....
lol...very diplomatic parting speech (if it truly is one), but guess some like me can see through that diplomacy, the bias and the disdain.

Well for once at least should have spoken the truth. But you messed it up once again. :p
Moza hope you find A place where you are"tolerated".you were loud and entertaining but not always sensible.cheers have fun
No one expects the Spanish Inquisition ...
The church put Galileo under house arrest for telling the truth. They needed 400 years for an official pardon saying they didn't know better at that time. In 2412, MIMH, QL will also ask for your pardon. Don't worry.
I know but you thrive and take pleasure out of all those controversial subjects which was your down fall.
I promised if I got blocked then no more posts, so just one to clear a few things up and then bye.

Thanks, Azi. Why am I not surprised? Lol! ;0)
where is monkey?
people who got ooopsed on QL usually doesn't wait that long to come back with a vengeance.
From the way I see it, MIMH got 2 user IDs...
I wonder if someone else can see a pattern of bullying nature in your posts as well. Are you sure you are not an MIMH incarnate? LOL
t_coffee_or_me said "Yes I agree Ql will go on but what about the quality"
TCOM, you and some of the other regulars are still around, right? The quality therefore remains reasonably intact. :0)
britexpat said "I did not agree with most of his postings, however, i do not se a reason to gloat. he will be back in another guise - hopefully :O)"

Yes I agree Ql will go on but what about the quality?
He will come back in another guise, or someone will take up his banner. QL will go on ..
Looks like QL days are numbered.
Well, that was to be expected. It happened to quite a few QL users....and then QL became what it is today.
Well, I had also once alluded to the possibility. However, I do not think we can be so damn sure. I mean until we have some real, first hand evidence, we can not say anything with any certainty.
Segmund, He was previously with ExileSaint id, and even mods confirmed him as male... Check his last post.. and in last comment what mods said!
How can you guys be so sure it was a male and not a female? You all appear so confident as to his masculanity that one would feel you had run a DNA test or performed a genital examination on MIH. Or do you believe a girl instinctively incapable of stoking dissent?
I did not agree with most of his postings, however, i do not se a reason to gloat.
he will be back in another guise - hopefully :O)
Why this perverse happiness?
Who else could have delivered it first. Anyways one racist idiot (ID) less. Problem is, it is still among us like a cancer which wouldn't go.
Finally MODS did it.. they wait for a long time... He already received warning from Mods, His every post lead to bashing and hatred,
Thumbs up to MODS!
Finally! TFS Segmund:)
I wish you should have given a thought about your choice of words in title of this topic.
The question which no one asked is who took so long to do it ?
And is it enough to just ban him on QL ?
with a new name/id...
QL is kinda boring without MIMH..he must come back!
He will be back !
what he deserves...thanks MODS.
(its good another member here who is a haters,refrained from posting about irrelevant topics,my guess... he was warned too)
You are welcome dear.Such a prophecy you had made. :)
indeed a good news for me & for all qlers... at last we got rid of him/her.....
thank u M0Ds.....
For me, that's a sad news
yes but hope he will not disturb us ....
He can always come back with a new profile.
He was he not she:D
and he was posting some comments that QL never accepting but still he was for long here donno why...
and he was posting comment on everypost thats why he got 1000s Point in few Months :D
Well Done QL ..
Thanks for sharing!
