It seems like a Catch 22 situation... a country (or I can say some countries) specific issue posted on main forum more often than not gets into wrong hands and instead of controlling those users who led the carnage the post gets deleted and hence the discussion itself... the people of that country also cry foul even at the hint of an ensuing bashing. Post that topic in the group and the response is low as people who matter there are privy to it already except for a few, very few topics, which get into some discussion but then the discussion is deprived of a third persons perspective which I think, is what an online forum with people of different backgrounds, cultures, is all about.

But then since we don't pay to access QL we don't decide the rules...so just play on with whatever the rules are.

Cheers.
