One Of The Best Threads Ever On PDF!

[Rig Vedic]

True - a good thread.

I cannot post there, so I will mention a point here - the situation described in the OP of that thread shows the long-term advantages of India's non-aligned policy. With India increasingly economically relevant, and having simultaneous good relations will all major players, Pakistan finds itself in a quandary.

Another point is about the long term historical perspective. We (meaning us South Asians) were, for better or for worse, subjected to invasions by Islamic hordes, who, by means fair and foul, did succeed in converting some of us to their religion. Not all the converts felt the need to create a separate political identity, but some did, and with colonialist support, established their own political entity. The question is, can a way be found to lessen the divide among these peoples, who historically were part of the same civilization? [A politically incorrect way of framing the issue - and, one suspects, it may be such incorrectness which precludes my participation in that discussion.] If the answer is yes, then Pakistan would not have any need to look for distant allies, and Pakistan's predicament would disappear.

I, feel that i am breathing fresh air ever since we created senior's cafe', stimulated discussions without idiotic trolls have always been my dream

Of course, please keep in mind that one has to conform to a certain mindset approved by the "keepers" to be allowed in, thereby ensuring the propagation of desired views rather than a true discussion.

The relative absence of trolls is plus point, though.

Creating senior's Cafe is like inventing new cast system. Why can not we post there.

But then they say (with a slight modification).. One man's senior is other man's troll

+++++1 - It is like having black cat protection to a elite few from troll terrorists. Not a good thing.

No, I think the Senior's Cafe is a good idea, but needs to be expanded.

It is the affiliation with PKKH that is the portent of bad tidings and change in outlook.

Enforce the rules in that forum in a very very strict sense - strike down and ban a member at the first instance of trolling. If someone wants to have a decent discussion, let him be aware of the risk of trolling there. Instead this is unfair having few members having the privilege to post.

or may be explaining your views about various aspect of the matter of discussion rather than getting it on ego to disagree or to defend your view for sake of defending it, no matter if it is wrong.

True discussion doesn't always mean anyone disagreeing on the topic. In research there is something called brain-storming session, where problem is discussed and solution is being looked for by constructive discussion.

There is no right or wrong in a discussion, only differences of opinion and views.

VCheng - my response in post #55. But I did not get this PKKH. Who are they?

Why some people banned from comment and why some people can comment? Just because they know the rules of games? And again trolling is perception of an individual. Very few people decides who can participate in the thread and who couldnt. its something very near to caste system

Actually, this should to apply to ALL the areas. In a way it is funny, the subfoums are festering lawlessly, while a chosen few retire behind protective walls. Sound familiar?

It is the right of the forum Admin to run it as they see fit, hence their definitions of trolling and seniority must prevail. That right should be respected.

Reminds me of Zombie movies, or serial like The Walking Dead.

Rest I leave it to people.

I noticed some people who are right to comment in that thread are looking us as inferior people. Poor us trolls
