Sword, My friend, i have to do the 'name and shame' thingie...

Greeker
By Greeker

Thank you for the hate mail you send me.

I dont like to name and shame, but if you cannot take constructive criticism, then there is something seriously wrong somewhere. I hate what i am doing, but it has to be done. I dont abuse people and in return, i dont expect to be abused too. So my fellow Indian, you shall reap what you sowed. Take care...

Greeker,

sword (http://www.qatarliving.com/user/12531) has sent you a message via

I don't know what was the cause of this issue here, no matter what were the reasons ... that does not give someone the right to send such an e-mail. Call it losing your sight and the ability to think properly in a dark hour where your vision was blinded by a mind that was shut.

I know Greeker since the first day I joined QL always as a nice guy who always helped people and looked after them [would never forget when he called me, checking on me when i was feeling down]. I never heard someone complaining about a bad thing that he does one day, there is nothing like that.

If someone won't be reasonable enough to accept the fact that when you open a thread or complain about something, that you will find people who would agree, disagree or trying to explain to you what was wrong. Then these forums are not the right place for you and better stay somewhere else and keep your opinions for you so no one would upset you again like that.

Just Ignore those kind of things man and let them be. Not your problem that some can't understand your style or the smart way you put everything in it's right place.

Best Regards

For one, i said nothing insulting Sword's mom. All i did was enquire if she caught a safe flight home. I stick with my comment that he should have made his schedule better, rather than blame the opening ceremony for his mom missing the flight.

Secondly, yes, i did mention earlier that PM was private business and that it should not be made public. But what you have to understand is that this was NOT A PM INSIDE QL. This guy went to the contact form and wrote that to me in MY PRIVATE E MAIL. I believe that he does not have the right to do so, whatever the circumstances.

That is why i did what i did and posted it in here. I dont intend to apologise, for i dont believe i have done wrong. People in here know me for who i am. Like i said, i have NEVER insulted anyone and i dont expect to be insulted either. Its really as simple as that.

Oryx, Scarlett, KSA, Owen, Stealth, Azzi, PM and all the others who spoke up for me, thank you so much. I am so much in debt of you all. thank you.

lol, you know what ? I just gor mixed now who's ksarat16 and who's Greeker lol. I thought I was on your blog yesterday, but iwas actually Greeker's. Now that I start mixing things , I think this will never end. When I was teaching I used to mix up names and this lasted the whole academic year.

ksarat, don't worry I like testing people's humour sometimes. I'm just a green creature ready to jump on all what moves around :d Example : RAM lol . Peace . ( I just remember India has nuclear weapons so maybe it's an imposed peace LOL )

U had to drag me into this...well here goes...

Firstly, about the comment a few days ago...regd Arab Girls and the TOUCH THE ZONE comment...it was a simple matter of light moment...that I and R-7 had thats it...>>U got all excited bout that...and spoke of not insulting anyone...come on buddy...it was a light moment...i m sure ppl who have met me and R-7 totally agree to the fact that we respect the QL Lady members as well ladies in general...its ok to have a bit of fun sometimes...

Second, what u told Greeker was the only thing i commented on champ...all i said was Greeker never mentioned anything so rude that Sword had to jump to such a statement being quite rude to him...

Third, I never ever said u shudnt be commenting buddy...ofcourse this is a public forum...and for heavens sake champ...i m sure none of us think about commenting....on anyone's MOM even for a joke buddy...thats a region that none of us get into anytime...and then again being from a diff culture also doesnt allow anyone to be commenting on "MOM" that is quite sacred to be commented upon...and buddy i aint frustrated...maybe u jus lost the humor ... i have been reading a couple of ur other posts...u sounded like a pretty humourous person...come on Froggie...let the humour prevail...not the sad things...

And regarding the other post that u jus made bout me replying to Kitkat...that was again a bit of fun...i m sure she knew that...so we had a quick light moment there champ...

So trust me...

1) I or rather anyone wud never comment on "MOM"...

2) I wudnt be bothered if u were to spend even 2000 Cents in any thread...it was jus that u barged in to blast Greeker and so since knowing and having met him in person...i just wanted to tell u that what u inferred from that post of his...was incorrect...thats all...

3) I surely want to see ur posts...some of them are quite funny...dude...so go on posting...

Cheers...friends again or not...

Always in doubt .. so that means i'm intelligent .. lol ;)

no actually it's really true and that quote says the fact ..

I was wondering how some guys r less qualified than me and they r so cocksure .. and i always have doubt .. I actually i need some self confidence sometimes .. wish to be intelligent and cocksure

Another thread where Mr. Geeker wants to start his new Ql policy : '' Witha ll due respect''------->http://www.qatarliving.com/node/44347

ksarat16 said O kitkat ...

Please tell me u didnt have any other work rather than tryin to create a thread that wud generate lots and lots of responses...

With all due respect ppl here are already pretty occupied on discussing a few serious imp topics...so really anyone wud be wanting to know what u missin if .......

First , I don't think you will stop anyone from posting whatever he/she wants to post.

Second, I think the best way to stop such trivial things is to ignore then, and that's what I suggested first . I repeat : Keep plz your private PM for yourself. This is called PM and nothing to do with Public forums.

With all due respect ....of course

I do respect your opinion, but I don't really agree .

"I think other users should be warned" I think if we keep on 'warning' users we'll end up by filling 100 pages with such posts. That's the way it has always been Dear. The Internet is a series of PM, E-mails....insults , praise, information, requests..etc . On Ql there are mainly adults who are aware of the bas as well as the good side of the internet. So, I don't think this is of any use to post '' name and shame'' threads every now and then :) cheeers

I never said Greeker doesn't have the right to comment on Any post , but I think that he should have chosen his words in a better way. Sometimes you don't mean it, but you may hurt others feeling. Accusing me of jumping into every thread is a bit childish. This is a public forum , and if you don't like me to comment try to find a way to censor my posts, if you really can. It's you who should relax now, and let people post their comments without starting your 2 Reyals value Judgements. I know how anyone would feel if someone start making comments including his/her mom. Perhaps you belong to a different culture. That's why last time I told you not to rush into rediculous joking about Arab/muslim girls , because that has a very bad taste, You seem to be frustrated since that time. Just Inhale....exhale and start breathing....you're still alive. No panic . With " all due respect"

and most WOULDN'T do something like that unless it was necessary..I've never seen Greeker do anything rude before and I don't consider this rude...he was just being straightforward in his post that you put up..I have to admit that if I knew my mom had a flight on that day..I'd have left WAYYYYYYY before..The PM that Greeker was sent, was inexcusable...if he had something to say, he should have posted it..or kept the thoughts to himself.

As far as the scam...yes, PLEASE post those..some people might fall for that, if they don't know...

With all due respect...sometimes u seem to jump the gun...while i totally accept Greeker's comments on the thread posted by Sword...tell me...why wud u wanna create another threead with the same crap of info...and secondly, greeker didnt comment on his MOM...infact i m sure however stupid one is...nobody wud comment on anyone's mom...all he told was Sword shud have been more careful in plannin his mom's trip...in the end did u notice greeker did enquire bout this guy's mom with an intention that she hopefully had a later flight to catch...

So dude...rather than jumpin into every thread and giving ur 2 cents pls ensure that ur 2 cents are actually worth it...take it easy buddy...and relax...

Frog I dont' agree

I think other users should be warned.... and the individual has to use their judgement on that one.

for a start i received a dodgy pm the other day... I think it was a potential scam but I did nothing and I feel a bit guilty.

someone may be conned out of money and I could have alerted the QL forum.

I feel harsh when I do name and shame and guilty when I don't.

You can't always stand by and do nothing!

If someone sends you a pm with obsence insults - that is uncalled for...

Dear Greeker,

To clarify things :

http://www.qatarliving.com/node/44127

Sword post :

the day before yesterday celebration at cornische was very pporly organised.the roads were jammed.my mom had to leave for india but due to immense traffic the flight missed.this is not with me but with other people too.

post ur comments

Greek response :

Greeker said Sword... ...

1. There is already a topic on the FRONT page. So you could comment there. Would keep the forums much more clean and uncluttered.

2. That there would be a rush at the Corniche was very clearly advertised from a very long time. People know that such a big event CANOT come without traffic restrictions and huge crowds in place. sorry to say, but if your mom missed the plane, then YOU are at fault. YOU should have left home early and YOU should have made contingency plans.

3. Its easy to say that an event was organised badly, but nobody thinks about the effort that went behind it. Yes, there were flaws, yes, they could have done it better. But in my opinion, they deserve applause for doing what they did.

Qatar, as big as the nail on my little thumb in the world map, pulled off something that other countries would give their right arm to accomplish. So instead of complaining, stand up and be proud that you were a part of it. A part of history that was made.

Sorry about your mom, though. Hope she got another flight out of Qatar

My opinion :

I can understand your reaction, though I think it would heve been better to keep that outside the public forum. However, I have to say that you have started this. You were not very nice to sword in your last post, and I can even say that you've provoked him/her. I think no one would accept to have his mom insulted or even evoked in a public forum. I don't know what he/she said in private , and I don't really care. This is what private messages are made for. Please keep your private quarrels out of public forums, and avoid provoking people.

Sword's only buddy is fembot - who likes being bound and gagged.

My opinion is that QL needs more moderators and watchers who has to be more active almost all the day .. so that they can put control on this website again .. I'm sorry for that Qatari and Ahmd r doing gr8 job but only them r not able to control this website .. sadly it started to slip outta there hands ... try to do something b4 u lose people from here and go downhill ..

I don't know what u did to deserve this but:......

In the last few weeks I have seen ever-increasing levels of personal insults and abuse. The place is being taken over by morons who can only derive a kick from putting others down.

What was once a really good place to chat, learn things and exchange (mature) views, is now becoming a bazaar for slinging insults.

A pity really - that the low classes find their way into everything!!!

Sword, just hang in there and ignore these fools.
