Anglophile, Are We Better Without Him?

Personally, I virtually never agreed with him. I found him obnoxious, self-righteous and confrontational. He had a talent in distorting the truth and presenting biased opinions. At times, he made me angry.

BUT are we better without him? Is this the best that can happen, to kill his voice? I think we are worse today. I think we failed. Some of us are writing victory blogs, but I think that is personal and does not prove a point. In the end, this is not a good outcome for free speech and democratic values that some of us claim to espouse.

Le mal est fait !

by Shemirani on

Already missed by those who liked to read his smart comments (with historical facts and great sens of humour) but the point is not just him, it's about how we treat eachothers and at the same time pretend to be proFreedom and for a Free Iran !

 A democrat liberal and cultured compatriot is ban from writing here while extremists are free to post all over the site on the name of "freedom of speech" !

 There is no valuable reason to explain it ! even if there was a "Dava" between him and an other chap they both could be ban for 24h to calm down them and that's it ! but i don't buy this childish explanation !

 

I think this Mossadegholahi ( J.M , Republican or Qajarsss...) in this site, flagged him over & over because they can't tolerate his comments. They muted an iranian hiddenly (behind the scene ) and pretend to be the only liberal humanist iranian around us !!!!! this low people can't even see the globale picture they are giving of our community !!! untolerance and censorship starts by this kind of people ! flagging others because their own mediocrity this is all they have to offer  ! if this users were adults and mature enough they would know there is no needs to flag anyone (to me flag button should have a very very rare utility, almost zero)

By flagging him you showed your own weakness but you  Sanctionned READERS (like me and others ) we are paying the price of your "pride&prejudice" and selfishness ! What was in his comments that you didn't want us to read ?!!!! Who are you to decide what we should read or not ???!!!

Irania vaghti Kaam miarand Doshman joonjooni mishand !!! and it's exactly why in 2012 we still are JAHAN SEVOMI !

Anglophile should be Unban even if he choose not coming back !

anglophile..

by Mohammad Ala on

To my understanding... anglophile was a woman.  She mentioned that she never agreed with me except in few cases. 

I had no problem with anglophile or whatever names she used before that.  My vote is for her to return.


Shazde Asdola Mirza

This is the 3rd time that s/he has been blocked.

by Shazde Asdola Mirza on

1. Used to stalk Q under the username Par...;

2. Used to stalk others under the username Far...;

3. Stalked Red Wine under the username Angl...!

S/he is a serial stalker, who gets more intense and angry as time progresses. His last comments were full of personal attacks and insults (too much even by IC standards).

CIM

"Blocked"

by CIM on

The issue of "blocking" (censorship) based upon malleable and arbitrary standards is something we have raised before.  This is why when the issue presents itself in any context everyone irrespective of ideological viewpoints needs to speak out about it regardless of whether you agree or disagree with the "blocked" user.  We have also raised the issue that censored people have gone on from this site to start their own news journals, such as IranianFacebook.com, and that we have received many complaints about the practice.

Fanoos jaan, I am saying Red Wine is a shazdeh

by Mehrban on

whom I respect and admire.  :)


fanoos

Dear Mehrban, are you saying Shazdeh is Red Wine? I'm confused!

by fanoos on

I thought Shazdeh Asdola Mirza whom I respect immensely is different than Red Wine whom I enormously admire!


Mehrban

Anglo should come back and stop bothering Shazdeh Red Wine

by Mehrban on

Anglo jaan please come back as Anglophile2 as a nod to your sins and banishment and please stop harassing shazdeh Red Wine.  RW is one of our best.    Other ones of our best have taken it as they have dished it out so fair is fair :).


fanoos
