Why comments go missing on this site?? Perhaps, just because this is an Iranian site and inevitably we have to do the things in a different way to show that we are IRANIAN!! In my opinion this site has provided all of us with the unique  and precious opportunity of having a platform to express our ideas and let our voices be heard by our compatriots and the rest of the world. We are a nation with great and unique capacities in different fields; and of course, on the other hand, we are a nation with great and exclusive flaws in our personalities.

In this crucial period we are in need of creating the new thoughts which can help us to get to a level and close political cohesion; and in this way we have to be meticulously exact  with our use of our means. Therein, this small window(Iranian.com), opened to the heart of  the world, is one of the our significant means which should be used appropriately. There are a remarkable number of highly informed and knowledgeable people over here, and the current communications between them are mostly resultful and effective in gaining  the right momentum and moving towards formation and cohesion.

 

It is obvious that the spirit of tolerance is the main attribute within the personality of any thoughtful and reasonable person; as it is the nature of thought and philosophy  that are created just in an atmosphere of forbearance and equanimity. But unfortunately we are not going to accept this attitude and consequently get the most out  of our reflections upon our vital problems. The deletion of comments is  clearly described and defined  within the related moral considerations in these sort of communications; but deleting a comment that  has a smack of criticism and somewhat adverse to our views, is just a proof to our weakness. I appreciate the confirmatory  and admiring comments, but I love the comments that criticize me, as they are really guiding and corrective.

A while ago I heard from different people on this site about their comments going missing without any acceptable reason; and it happened to myself a few days ago and one of my completely polite and rational comments went missing! Why?? Are not we here to practise the open and democratic ways of approaching the freedom and in particular, the freedom of speech? Are not we trying to help our country in achieving its democratic goals?Why crticism is considered as 'SPAM' in our minds? Surely, we can not be any better than Mullahs for our people, if we keep facing with each other's views in this manner.

To the management of this precious site, I  should say no comments should be deleted out of the clearly defined  related have tos and do not have tos.

Thank you for acknowledging the nature of the attack and for revising your initial comment.

Mind you?

But point well taken!

You might be right here.

Maybe if someone doesn't want to be a direct target in a gossip

by Louie Louie on

should not jump in the middle of it!

I re-read all the comments. Something bad (like a gossip) was about to building up! I could become the direct target of that gossip's outcome.

Your comment, alhtough seemingly innocent, came right after a series of comment which was giving a way to that gossip.

I consider you as a wise and intelligent person who knows when they say what. This time I was shocked to see your comment, following that gossip.

I am sorry, if I attacked you for no apparent reason, but the direction of that gossip was not something productive.
Your comment fell at a bad time in the middle of something unhealthy.
Again sorry.

How about the questions I asked you?

Why did you feel that you have to silence me when it's ok for others to even blog about people and their actions and deletion, name names and speculate which I did not do. You seem to have different measuring sticks for different people and I seem to have the short end of it, but without any explanation.

It's not right to attack someone out of the blue and when proven wrong to leave without a word. At least I didn't expect that from you.

What ??

by Souri on

Capt-

I just came back here and noticed your comment to myself.

I don't think there's anything left for you to show us! We have seen everything, from arrogance to offense and viscousness from you since you have been registered here.

Don't even try to bully me, the ones who dared to threat me, got already their prize!

And please, do not insult Azeri people for your own shortcoming. They are much respected and respectful people of Iran.

Thank you Sir, for defending my right to be the one and only Fouzul.  Very fair of you.

Never mind the spider too much.  You look lovely even with a spider in your hair ;)  but I wish you all the detangler you ever wanted ..


Louie Louie

Well, it looks like I was right after all

by Louie Louie on

Search for the new identity, publicity stunt, who knows.

Darn it, I missed the opportunity to write a blog about missing someone. I was going to title it like this:

What's Wrong, so and so?


che khabar e

poor taste

by che khabar e on

according to the Captain, it is considered extremely poor taste to mention or bring up another poster when they are not posting on a particular thread...:-)

I was just joking around, please do not take it as offense. Besides anyone daring to take your name in vain has to answer to me ;-o)

Ms. Souri

You are courteously asked not to READ any of my threads nor any of my comments , and in addition, you are asked, ever so politely, not to tell this old f@rt what to say and what not to say.

Trust me dear khanoom, you do not want to see that Azari side of me >:|

Solo is not my concern. Please do not mix the issues.

I did not speak of her at all. What I wrote was after visiting an older blog and seeing one of Rosie's comment. I wish she had deleted some of those they're still bitter and hurtful.

Was I more clear this time?

If not let me repeat: I did not speak of solo, I did not speak of her comments regarding JJ's blog, I merely referred to JJ's blog and how many comments I see on that blog where EVERYONE spoke their mind. If I say it here you want to silence me. Why?

Even though you singled me out, I am not the one pretending to know what anyone is doing.

In my first comment, I said that if people deleted their comments it's not JJ's concern and then I wished everyone would go back and read what they have said and deleted the ones that were not so kind. 

It seems like you want to read more into it and make it an issue. I won't play along. I know what I said and I know why I said it. Who are you speaking for now?

My apologies for using your name in vain. BUT I shall use it again since that's the kinda thing I do.

And how can you kill the spider when it has taken refuge in all the hair. There goes another bottle of detangler!

Your good intentions are highly appreciated.

Would you please clarify what you meant by that "I wish more people would take a look at what they have said in the past and delete their not-so-kind comments" ?

BTW, In the 192 comments on that blog of J, there was not even one from or to  Solo. She hadn't participate in that blog.

She had some talks with me in my blog "I wish" on September 22.

Then she had also some minor argument with another lady in other blogs, but I don't think that would be a cause for a strong character like Solo, to leave the site.


Louie Louie

How about someone starts a new blog after

by Louie Louie on

Solo leaves this site. Anyone? Anyone?

Which the motive could really be something else.

Maghsoud toee kabeh o botkhaneh bahanast!


Louie Louie

Yes revisiting the old comments is a very good idea

by Louie Louie on

Then one gets to know as WHY.


IRANdokht

with all due respect Souri khanoum

by IRANdokht on

Am I not allowed to say that I wish everyone revisit their old comments? I also said I am not pretending to know why.... Maybe you missed that part!Did I say anyone was leaving?

I see over 190 comments under JJ's blog about this issue and everyone said what they thought. But somehow I am forbidden to mention the same thing?

I didn't see you object to any of the nasty ones, but you have an objection to my benign comment. Maybe different rules apply to people here. I must have missed that memo... 

btw what do you mean nobody wants a spokesman here? aren't you actually doing that right now?

Souri

Guys please! (updated)

by Souri on

Please do not put mateh be khashkhaash :)

If someone is so much hurt by a comment that they decide to leave the site, they do it right away, not a week later, and not after having actively participated in many other debates.

I think it's better to leave people the freedom to act as they want. Nobody knows nothing here, it's all the hypothesis.

Giving the free statement about other people's action, is not fair. If someone wants to talk about the reason of their departure from the site (if they are really leaving) then they will do it.

Nobody likes to have a spokesman in the site.

And I don't like to see the underlying comments like the ones of yours and Capt.....etc.

Thank you.


IRANdokht

Taking a look at ourselves: what a great idea!

by IRANdokht on

I wish more people would take a look at what they have said in the past and delete their not-so-kind comments. 

I am not pretending to know why some people deleted their comments or blogs, I am just hoping more people would revisit their old comments.

The spider killer is here!  :-)

Did I see my name typed in vain...   ok let me tell ya' a secret:

There you go!  Mystery solved by the real Fouzul

If someone wants to leave, they would delete all their blogs like Afshin did, not just the comments. Last night I noticed she left some of her comments. Maybe she did not see them, I don't know but why would she post a new blog today??

AAAAAhhhhh, a SPIDER! Help! I kid you not!


capt_ayhab

Ms. Detective ;)

by capt_ayhab on

Hope you are correct and I am mistaking since it will be a great loss.Not that I blame her if she did leave, its been getting pretty nasty around here lately.

However now that you are our certified detective in charge, why do you think she is deleting her comment?

 

-YT  <<<< Another fosoul here


Louie Louie

No she is not leaving, I don't think she is

by Louie Louie on

If she wants to leave she wouldn't have posted a new blog today. And she has left all her old blogs undeleted. Huh!

With Regards

Detective Louie, Louie fouzoul


capt_ayhab

soooooooooo

by capt_ayhab on

Is that why Ms. Flying Solo was visiting the old threads? to delete her comments?

I did enjoy her comments often. she will be missed.

che khabar e

Solo too?

by che khabar e on

Looks like Solo is joining Afshin in deleting all her comments.  Sorry to see that. She was one of the few enjoyable, fair and intelligent posters.  JJ should be concerned.  This is his website and he should be concerned about who is leaving and why.  If he doesn't start caring, he's going to end up with... well, what he's got right now.


Louie Louie

Why would anyone

by Louie Louie on

want to delete comments on long forgotten blogs? It's a tedious task.
