 Divaneh jan: currently, arabs use  "ajam" as a deragetory slang for Persians.  Ajam and dogs are the same in the arabic colloquial language. I have been called both in the past...lol

Salman or anyone else can express their views whether they are liked or not, whether they make sense or not.

dear JJ

Thank you for taking the time to explain rules of the site.

Birds of a feather, flock together

Now, brother Majous praising Freethought, is like Khamenei praising Majlesi.

I hope you don't take the word Majous as an insult. This is how Iranians were addressed by Arabs and probably how the compatriots of your hero called him during the looting and ravaging of Iran.

The reason that you feel lonely is not because there is not one more person like you in this site. It is because you preach old and nonsensical beliefs that have destroyed our society for centuries and people have now rejected them. Now you want to promote them and no one is interested.

Blogs & Comments

Truthseeker9, blogs are your own PRIVATE space. We want you to have the maximum possible freedom to say what you wish, including the use of profanity.

Comments on the other hand, are left in a space reserved for PUBLIC discussion and without a certain amount of "civility", discussions can quickly deteriorate and turn into a fighting match.

In blogs, or comments, you cannot slander private individuals. That is against the law and nothing to do with iranian.com.

However, the law does allow more freedom in making personal attacks against PUBLIC individuals.

For instance, you can call Khamenei a dog, or Obama a pig, without being prosecuted. But you cannot do the same against ordinary individuals using their real names.

"I feel sad and lonely in this fiercely anti-Islamic gathering."

Why are you here?

dear JJ

I understand and I don't. There was a comment I flagged calling people Dog a couple of days ago and I think you have not had the opportunity to see it in your queue. Thank you for the explanation.

JJ, why can we have blogs where people can Fohsh people? Surely people are equally offended when called Pig/ Dog in a blog as in a comment. Again is not a criticism, just want to understand the difference.

Here's the rule Truthseeker9

Fohsh o bad o biraah tahvil mardom nadin.

Yes brother Javid, I will

Thank you for your sense of humor which is a helpful tool in such situations. But I wish something could be done about my other brother who is the subject of this blog. I feel sad and lonely in this fiercely anti-Islamic gathering.

For an Islamic democracy

I am confused, JJ!

What does this mean?

"Blogs on the other hand are open to profanity as long as the content does not cross into slander. That's against the law."

Is this similar to,  let's say, a restaurant where respectable people dine but in the back rooms, gambling and prostitution go on?

dear JJ

We appreciate all your efforts on IC and it is good just to make clear what the rules are for everybody. Otherwise certain actions by Admin will be open to interpretation and people will come to the wrong conculsion. Is there anywhere the Rules are listed?  

Pigs & Dogs

Any comments referring to any commentor as "pig" or "dog" or anything similar are considered personal attacks.

It is impossible to read every comment made on this site. If you see any comments like that, flag them.

Blogs on the other hand are open to profanity as long as the content does not cross into slander. That's against the law.

Consistency of criminal activity on IC

incitement to hatred

incitement to murder

race discrimination 

religious discrimination

encouraged harassment

encouraged endangering of personal safety 

consistent personal abuse and harassment despite flagging: flagging is ignored or acted upon, depending on the user 

blatant invasion of privacy 

It's a disgusting embarrassment to Iranians and its predominant activities are illegal and criminal. There is very little, if anything, civilized about it, which is why so many have left and others don't bother to join.

Hafez for Beginners was right: this place is toxic . The woman had self-respect enough to notice the disrespect immediately.

Even a tadpole wouldn't invest a bet on a camel in the Grand National, even in the Dubai Derby. 

Let's agree to disagree on the this: Several etymologies on Noor

//en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Noor

personal attacks or profanity

JJ, what about people who have been calle Pig and Dog? I am asking you a peaceful question, it is not a criticism. Why do these comments and blogs stay?  Pig and Dog are worst insults dished out to Iranians aren't they?

Salman

All joking aside, I am trying to run a website here and keep things as civilized as possible.

If you see any comments containing personal attacks or profanity against you, flag them and I'll take care of it. That does not include OPINIONs against your views.

Brother Javid, my God, you are a convert already!

Thank you for adopting Nasrin Noor as your sister :)

Thank you sister Noor and well spotted brother Javid

Thank you sister Noor for adding to my list of freedoms I can't enjoy in Iran:

• freedom of being attacked for posting "Any posts with an Arabic author,s name,"
• freedom of being attacked for Any posts with Arabic titles,"
• freedom of being attacked for "Any posts where the author addresses others as brother this and sister that,"
• freedom of being insulted for "Any posts that try to whitewash [expose] (anti)Islam's criminal activities around the world,
• freedom of being sowrn at for "Any posts wit Arabic content, period!"

Brother Pendar. I take your subtle point. Thanks brother.

NOOR in NOT Arabic! It's Persian! :))))))))))))))

Educate yourself!

:)))

Nasrin Noor?! You want anyone with an Arabic name banned?

YOU, sister NOOR, are banned! :D

Get a grip

I will brother Javid

And your are right Sir. Under the Islamic republic I can't enjoy such freedoms as:

• the freedom of being told I am a traitor to Iran for taking pride in being a muslim Iranian
• the freedom of being insulted for admiring Salman Farsi
• the freedom of having my faith dragged in dirt for suggesting that it is a peaceful faith
• the freedom of being personally insulted and threathened for saying Islamic Democracy is a reality.

You're welcome!

Enjoy the freedoms you don't have in the Islamic Republic. And give my heartfelt salams to your "brother"

Thank you for your snide remark brother Javid

This is what Hafez says about that illiterate prophet whom you so kindly reminded me of:

 ستاره یی بدرخشید و ماه مجلس شد 

             دل رمیده ی ما را رفیق و مونس شد         

           نگار من که به مکتب نرفت و خط ننوشت

             به غمزه مساله آموز صد مدرس شد

I am not a snitcher Sir. 

For an Islamic democracy

For those who can read

I know your prophet Mohammad was illiterate. But you and your "brother" can read, correct?

What does it say above the comment box? "Comments containing profanity or personal attacks will be removed. Repeat offenders will be blocked."

ANYONE, including those who oppose your views, who abuses this rule, will be blocked.

Which comment has foul language against you or your "brother"? Show me and it will be deleted and the repeat offender will be blocked.

Thank you brother Javid

I am grateful for replying to my question and I don't expect you to waste your precious time on me but may I ask one more question and no else?

Why have I not seen any of my abusers and those who use foul language aginst me and my faith being blocked. Please don't ask me for names because I am not in the habit of being a sintcher as I am sure you know full well what I am talking about. Why foul language attacks on a peaceful muslim and his faith is allowed on this site but it is banned for other believers. Consistency Sir. This is the C-word so abhorred here.

...یه دارا کوشن؟ توی سوراخ موشن؟

If it's happening from Tel Aviv to Damascus and London, then it can certainly happen right here at IC.......Hey hey, ho ho JJ got to go....Hey hey, ho ho JJ got to go..........

It must be the coffee........I mean the tea, I had in my "sahari"....

Your "brother"

Your "brother" knows perfectly well. He has a history of using foul language in his comments. He can't stop cursing when he's faced with something he doesn't like. Not once, but numerous times in the course of years.
