er Harish, you should settle this by showing us where manto abused you or your family members...when he "started it" as you claim. Otherwise you should just slug it out without trying to paw and claw at the moral high ground.
Instead of wasting time quoting irrevelant stuff about manto from other people, just show us the money quote.

Here is what people really think:

Post by shobig_sifar on Aug 24, 2007 1:31:33 am

give credit where it is due. I and Manto have had clashes of sorts and hardly ever had an agreement over anything, as is the case with him and Atif payee, but I can vouch he is not the sort of guy to imbue family members into his personal cyber-scuffles. Harish, on the other hand has been consistantly and appallingly abusing Aisha, despite his potential to have a clean and intellectual discourse.

#353 Posted Yasser

You will keep hoping and praying and wishing that some how some anonymous nick will "expose" my "hypocrisy".

I don't have to pray. It is already happening. And the surprise is, your own compatriots are even more vitriolic than any Indian can ever be. Some of the threads exposing your utter hypocrisy left even me (who's quite familiar with your attention-seeking antics) shocked.

God save people who have the misfortune of being associated with a disgusting person like you.

And even god cannot save those unfortunate enough to be associated with a caricature such as you.

#350 by Ranjit

For god's sake, you are two educated professionals with liberal values. Why does it have to descend to such virulent personal hatred and vitriol, especially attacking mothers and sisters?

Yaar Ranjit, I fully agree with you, but please check the 50-odd posts and see who started the whole mother thing. Yasser mian is frustrated because his attempts to pin me down have boomeranged on him, and so he probably thinks baiting me by abusing my mother will rile me up sufficiently to respond even more vulgarly than him, which could then be used as a case against me. All it has proved is Yasser mian's dubious credentials. Please also visit UP and check how other Chowkies are exposing his shameless hypocrisy.

Ranjit,

This is a very good question and should be addressed exclusively to this fellow Harish mian who really isn't worth my time given his disgusting habits.

This disgusting fellow with "liberal values" abused the hell out of my family because he doesn't find my views palatable. He says I abused him first but beyond trying to show him that such abuse indicates a deep seated insecurity and possibly a broken home ... I have not responded in kind.

Now he keeps saying I abused him but you can view the evidence in 326 and 301-305. If he feels I abused him or Aisha did... he should produce evidence. But he has none... so he is acting the only way he knows how to...

I wonder if some people are so devoid of humanity as to completely abuse others for having points of view contrary to each other. You and I have had many disagreements... how many time have we started abusing each other's mothers and wives?

Harish and Manto,

Guys, I dont mean to interrupt your mutual lovefest but this is really juvenile and disgusting, especially on a public forum. For god's sake, you are two educated professionals with liberal values. Why does it have to descend to such virulent personal hatred and vitriol, especially attacking mothers and sisters? Why cant you treat each other with at least some decorum? If you cannot behave rationally, why not ignore each other? If educated people cant have a decent conversation, what hope is there in the subcontinent?

And in the future no this: just because you call your mother a bitch and a whore in love and affection doesn't mean every woman in the world is going to accept this kind of abuse.

Harish mian,

The said Ilog is still there and is in response to your ilogs. You can check the dates. You are abusive liar and you've been proved as one. Now keep going in circles.

Untill and unless you can produce our "abuse" against you, you don't have a point.

You are right. I was merely trying to point out the hypocrisy in his reprimand to folio, when he himself is a 100 times more abusive without provocation.

In retrospect it was a collossal waste of time induling a fool like him.

Manto,

Why are you even arguing with this guy? If a dog barks, you don't bark back. Give him his due in life: Ignore him.

PS: For your sake, I sincerely hope you don't actually believe what you wrote in #340... because you ought to be locked up in some sort of an insane assylum.
