.........

Thank MG, for your post and gracious words! I learned a lot from you! Thank you for your contribution to this site!

Your posts on AO's last blog (Roozbeh Gilani) are eye-opening!

BS that knows no bounds

VPK, do you have to manipulate and twist the truth to suit your agenda - today being vindictive towards people who disagreed with you on previous blogs?

SK knows I have defended her free speech previously and have even flagged comments that have said she is NP. One was on a Zoroastrian blog. I have even defended HFB right to producing her blogs here, irrespective of politics or qualifications. So you are totally misrepresenting what I do and say.

And if you think tiny acceptance of other positions includes IRI Apologists it shows you are lacking judgment. But that is your business. 

You are drawing me into your childish games, yesterday you were impying people have multiple IDs on AO's blog about Roozbeh, and today you did something that continued that accusation. Now you bring your problems into this blog and try to settle some childish score. Agha, grow up.

And I have not flagged your comment, indicating others are getting sick of these distractions.

Mentality such as yours gave rise to these monsters roaming Iran now.

I was around for the revolution and remember the mentality. It was not that of SK but that of the idiots who bought the propaganda. It was the mentality of on one side those who would not give any credit to the Shah. No matter what he did. That was a combination of:

• Mossadeghi who wanted revenge. No matter what. All they wanted was to bring donw the Shah.
• Marxists who get thoroughly brainwashed by Soviet propaganda. Right out of the universities and were looking for the "golden workers paradise".
• Islamic fanatics and xenophobes led by Shariati and Al Ahmad types. They were really afraid of change and modernity. With no way to stop it.

The other side was Shah himself:

• Rastakhiz and the one party system.
• Redoing the calendar for no good reason.
• Various opulent festivals where Iranians were not invited. 

I am not sure how Soosan Khanoom would fit in the above. In my opinion those were what brought these monsters. And monsters they are for real. 

SK

Thank you for your kind words. I have an observation.

A while ago I misread a post by someone on another blog. TS jumped on me accusing me of "implying AO and AE were using the same ID". Interesting I do not see him/her coming to your defense! I guess it all gets to whether they agree with your positions. If they do you are golden. If not you are the opposite. 

If we want freedom the first thing is to have a tiny acceptance of other positions.

Being a supporter

of this anti Iranian regime IS A CRIME. I suppose you say it is OK to do so since you consider yourself an all around kind of gal and believe in freedom of expression while smelling the roses in a garden where women don't have to cover themselves so men don't get aroused....(that's what you believe is OK to defend sista).

IRONIC though as the entity which you believe is OK to defend denies everything decent to its people and those it has in shackles.

BTW, I wouldn't be proud to be mistaken for NP. She is a hypocrit, anti western anti capitalist - but west-residing lost soul.

Mentality such as yours gave rise to these monsters roaming Iran now.

I agree with you totally with regards to engagement and free speech. But just wanted to say why she was not respected by freedom loving Iranians. We have young people like Majid Tavakoli and then the other type of Iranian who turns a blind eye and thinks harping on about "prevention of war" is sufficient. Just wanted to make that clear. Anti-Iran can be given many interpretations.

You are entitled to your opinion. there is no doubt that you guys have seen more of her than me .... By the way, I mentioned I read some blogs of her not all ... so I must have missed the blogs you are pointing to. But that does not take away the conclusion that me, Rea, and some others have come up with. 

No two persons can be agreed all the time ... of course in a forum especially a political one, there are lots of disagreements. As you said we should value one's freedom of speech..  but my point is to get these people engaged rather than isolated and insulted.  Cause we can reach a common goal if we learn to take our time and listen to each other.  

VPK jan

It seems that you are the only one here who got the main point... thanks 

interesting

So are opinions that agree with you "unbiased" and those that not "biased"? Which school of thought does that come from?

Dear Rea

That is what I have concluded after my little research on her. Thank you for your unbiased input.  

Thanks Rea

My comment and opinion are after reading her posts! I have also read her opinion about Ahmadinejad and particularly holocaust denials. Very revealing. This blog is also worth reading and thinking about:

//iranian.com/main/2011/sep/iranian-art-lying

BTW, I dont really care about surface "ghorbanet" and nice pics on avetars. I care about core values of individuals where Iran and Human Rights are concerned. But thanks for the advice .

Dear Rea

You have every right to be on this site and it is not up to others to lecture you. This is not a "Persian" only club. I like you and find your posts very helpful. Not always agree but always welcome you.

I agree less with Yolanda but she? is welcome here also. If we want to learn we better have non Iranian voices. Therefore my vote is please do not listen to those who question you. Your posts and views are most welcome by me.

Long Lost Twin!

Soosan Khanoom,

Do you have a long-lost twin sister that you did not know about or did you experience a concussion around the time that NP vanished that you just don’t remember?

I am just trying to solve this puzzle for you!

Now that you have some free time on your hand, please look into Sargord Pirooz phenomenon too and let us know what you find out. I have some theories about that too!

Tabarzin

"Are you Iranian?"

No, I'm not. So, your question to Yolanda concerns me as well.

I will eventually disappear from the site. Why bother?

Truthseeker

As an outsider, I have no reason to be on this or that side.

All I'm saying is: when it comes to geopolitics, NP had valid arguments. Worth reading and thinking about.

SK

If opposition
inside Iran, today, is anything like us here on IC then there is no hope for unity and for having more people on board and as the result there is no hope for having a democratic government.

That is a very good response. People I see on this blog are disappointing at best. Often they provide no useful ideas; bash each other and are hopeless. As you say a great number of them want Iran bombed. They root for Israel and side with separatists. I personally do not think the IC posters are representative. If they are then you are right we have no hope at all. But then my own experience does not validate this. I don't know too many people who share the views of many people here.

NP was an IRI apologist

You say “please read” and claim you have read this persons material. What a shame, you have confirmed what people suspected about you. With regards to NP, do not be surprised when most decent Iranians on IC cannot comprehend why anyone today who has tasted freedom outside of Iran and is “educated” would ever support ideologies that have stripped away human rights and freedoms of Iranian people.  NP supported a lot of lies that IRI churned out. Personally when I see how people continue to support such ideologies, output propaganda in its support, which is against the interest of Iranians, I have no respect for them.  

So what is the reason for the behaviour of such people, who are willing to deprive Iranians of freedom and progress ? They are either ignorant (but NP appears educated and articulate), have been manipulated (grown up around people who supported this ideology and so they think that's right and block out the “bad” things) or simply selfish acting out of self-interest (personal/ family circumstances ).

She also wrote an obnoxious blog just before she left where she told IC Users and Admin  "F***  Y**". That is after the site allowed her to post her BS for years and put up with her snide remarks to other IC Users.

Frankly, a blog about such a person does not deserve attention but since you asked "Please read" then OK here is your answer. I know what to expect from various people on IC (characters) and most of us know who to trust . I know there will be support for her from the expected crowd but personally I have no respect for such persons. I can guess if I was in Iran how she would treat me, people are not as naive as you think.

@ SK: The planet IC. Nice one.

I like the term planet IC.

There are those here who think this planet revolves around them and anything other than their ideology is heresy.

There are also some dimwits who belong to the flat-earth bunch:

//theflatearthsociety.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=48&Itemid=65

//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flat_Earth_Society

Anyway, if they think you are "deviating" from their designated orbit, then you can expect the name calling to start.

My 2 cents

NP was a formidable opponent. Liked or disliked, s/he'd had valid arguments. Personally, appreciated her input.

Comparing SK and NP is demeaning for the latter. Comparing incomparable.

Dear Tabarzin

It seems that is the case ... unfortunately many are not that strong so they leave ...... we used to have a Hafez blogger but she left because of all the accusations .

May be we should come up with a warning sign so those who are knew and have no idea get some idea before they enter the planet IC  :) 

Soosan Khanoom

You are no IC veteran until you have been accused of being several different people and identities; an agent of the regime; then had your account blocked a dozen times followed by being collectively slandered, bullied and libelled - and generally roughed up.

Be-del nagir :) That's just IC. Like a Hell's Angel gang, that's the initiation process around here...

NP LITE ... LOL

Was she also a poet? 

you know i am one .. i just do not post much of my poems here because this site is more political than anything else .....   I have seen many beautiful poems that died in silence .. with no reader ..

You know a poem stays alive if it is read ... if not it just dies off ... 

In incredibly boring days, I sort of miss her, but now we have

you: as a substitute. NP lite!

My dear MG

I used to get everything personal when someone called me NP ... now I know it is not me they hate it is she ...  I feel for her ... that is all ..

I wrote but everyone would read her ..... I talked but everyone would hear her . . This place belongs to her not me ...  

it is becoming like the movie  " Rebecca "  

you guys do not get it ..... only she knows that I am not her and and that is if she even stops by this site ... 

May be you guys killed her ... lol 

It was a fairly simple procedure, we called on the Munchkins

from "Wizard of Oz," and they sang their song:

and she was gone. (it almost rhymes!)

Dear Tabarzin

You presence and your comments are truly appreciated....My question is not where these people are from cause I care less but why so much hostilely towards this person call NP?  I was just curious and my unbiased research made me write this blog on her... I do not share many of her views when it comes to IRI but at least I am happy to be mistaken for some one who is one hell of a woman .. an educated and articulated one ... something that we do not see much on this male dominated site ..  

I just am not sure why she is not active anymore?  What did these people do to her?  

...

Your emotions are perfectly understable, though  I've learned a number of things about Iran from Yolanda.

She probably does

But my nationalistic ire always gets raised several notches when non-Iranians start impugning Iranians over Iranian issues - IRI or no IRI.

Yolanda is the honorary Iranian on IC, I bet she knows names of

more political prisoners in Iran than you. I know she knows about more of them than me.

And I think she's 100%  correct on NP. To be honest I was about to write, more or less exact, same thing.

Yolanda

Are you Iranian? I ask because Yolanda is not a typically Persian name or handle but a Latina one. If not, what are Iran and Iranians to you that you are impugning one of her daughters here on a purportedly Iranian site?
