The Idea of Chowk

echo,

....... why are you so angry ?.......... it is not our fault that you were abused at the madrassa ........

I ignore posts from certain folks because they are predictable. I ignore posts from certain folks because they cannot write sentences in legible English. I think as a poster I need to have the choice of reading or not reading certain posts.

Holy Cow!! First urstruly at 3 and now jay at 2. Looks like we are living in bizarro world here :-)

I have noticed with dismay, the number of interacts plummeting on chowk. It is not due to the presence of obnoxious posts, it is rather due to the absense of provocative posts. This is chowk, a typical south asian street with its chaos, confusion and the variety, not a street with dress codes and behavioural norms.

By this rating system, you are killing chowk, at best addressing a non-existing problem.
Finally a rating system that rates hamidm lower than urstruly does not reflect the expectations of chowkies. This rating system may be a great programming gimmick, but can only stifle chowk.

I think the first casuality of a dogmatic religion is morality. How can you expect civil behaviour from those whoes God himself preaches hatred of his own creation through messengers who condone lynching of those who are accused of blasphemy against them instead of believing in Allah Who is `Rehman and Raheem` and the Prophet (PBUH) who is `Rehmatulaalimeen`.

Re:echoboom#75

So you are not a Ba Ba Blacksheep? What are you then - a mountain mujahid or a kabaab vendor?

It is easy to sit at your terminal in the comforts of the west, sip Starbucks and type absurd stuff in support of your so-called Islamic ideal. Why dont you put your money where your mouth is? If you have any intellectual honesty, put your own worthless neck on the line and join a jehadi outfit to fight for your cause. Dont expect others to do all the dirty work while you just sit here and say - wah, wah.

I am guessing the most happy people are the Chowk programming team :-)

Set reading option to ``level=-1`` to see all interacts, otherwise I may have missed out on:

I came to CHOWK because of its liberal policies. Had other websites where I could interact. This site exposed me to secular diversity. It gave me the opportunity to confront opposing views.
However, the latest ``scoring`` system is biased and irrational. A single moderator decides the value of your content. This is a devious design to channel a particular way of thinking. All I can say is the idealism flinched. And I don`t know if at least the ``Front Page`` is worth visiting anymore.
Peer rating may be more appropriate, yet peers often rate on likes and dislikes agreements and disagreement not necessarily the value.
CHOWK please rethink this bad system - to preserve the credibility of this site. ``

Hey, i like this new commenting engine..

hamidm,

i`ll gladly exchange my level with you,
but dont you dare leave!

After editing my profile, I like the new system.

Especially, because the interaction will be real time from now on.

I have set my interaction level to the lowest so that I can catch all posts.

ha ha!
the rude 20-something Indian jokers are filtered out! But then how do mullahji urstruly & his bhatija ali_1 filter through!?

Re: # 57
