faisal #258 {``so this fuckwit salim comes here and spends most of his times fantasizing about raping women interactors and people dont have a problem with it.``}

Faisal,
As I have reminded others, I admonish you about what God said:
THOUS SHALT NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS AGAINST THY NEIGHBOR!

I think that you are either lying through your teeth or are merely fantasizing. I have never fantasized/condoned/advocated rape of women (or men).

As for your own profanity and vulgarity, I think that Mr. Godot answered you quite effectively and succinctly in #259. :)

Re: # 263

Faisal

“ given your blind acceptance of all things western, i am not surprised to see you defend a ghaleez aadmee like salim. me on the otherhand, i was taught to respect women.”

Yes, I’ve accepted everything good—and there is plenty of it—the West has to offer, respecting women is most certainly one of them. However, do I need to bring up the Holy verse 4:34 again, the book you, as you put it, blindly follow and defend?

I’m not defending Salim’s ghazalat, but his right to defend himself when ghazalat is thrown at him.

Re: # 269

Khamkhwa,
It is obvious who calls whom what. I see that you are supportive of Faisal in his usual profanity and vulgar abuse. Now, unprovoked, you are insulting Mr. Godot. I remember when you, on UP, were bragging about your own impending sex-change and how you humiliated women as a result. Being an insider of Chowk does not necessarily make you right. Your kind has been throughly exposed - thanks to the efforts of Mr. Godot and Mr. Soulat.

#223, Khamkhwa {``#223 by khamkhwa. on August 30, 2005 3:50pm PT
... if you are concerned with the word ``bhaRva`` that i use to address salim is because of his ex-profession...you may not know but he was manager of a cat-house...please do not ask me what a cat-house is...``}

Mr. Khamkha (sic):

Again, you have been caught lying. When I was in the States, I used to manage a gentlemen`s club for over three years, while going to college. A gentlemen`s club is a place where men can watch sporting events, while consuming large amounts of nectar, served by scantily-clad women, as other ladies disrobe to distract the gentlemen from the sporting events. A cathouse is a residence that houses several feline pets. Several chowkies, including some on UP, provide such habitats for felines. :)

But then, why am I trying to explain these things to you? With your clouded perception, you probably think that the waltz is some kind of vertical copulation and that your own conception was a freaky peep show. :)

The next lesson will cost ya.

#228, Temporal {``...i know it must be difficult for you to utter this apology…and i have inherited a zero tolerance of abuse towards women… it pains me that other interactors who have nothing to do with this...``

Temporal Bhai,
The apology to you (for any inconvenience caused by my attempt at humor) was sincere - probably in recognition of your honesty in responding to Mr. Soulat`s persistent probing. I acknowledge that and really commend you for telling the truth as well as you could. :)

While we are pleasantly engaging in polite and constructive dialogue, I want to say a few things about abuse, credibility, and fairness - only because I have this passion about discussing ALL sides of an issue. Like you, I oppose abuse against women, but I also oppose abuse against men. In this era, when we are struggling for gender equality, it doesn`t make sense to ``protect`` women from ``male`` abusers while encouraging their abuse of men by making excuses that these women ``are the fiery kind of new urbane educated no-nonsense women.`` There is nothing educated about remarks concerning ``penises falling off,`` and designating every male opponent as ``namard.`` A male posterior is just as provocative as a female one. Jokes and humiliating remarks about men`s genitals are just as menacing and harassing as the other way around. Four letter words (and some five and six letter ones) are in bad taste for BOTH males and females to use, regardless of how badly they are misspelled for camouflage.

I don`t think anyone here really relishes abusing anyone, especially females. But when certain ``females`` and many males resort to abuse, profanity, and threats, after losing their debate, they are subject to retaliation. In retrospect, I regret and am ready to apologize for every act of retaliation where I have responded to BOTH male and female instigators in their vulgar abuse of my family and me.

Now about credibility and fairness. I commend you for stating that there is a firewall between ``volunteers`` and Chowk Staff who delete threads, erase messages, filter posts, and provide interact ratings. But, sir, this does introduce a menacing cloud of ambiguity over your stated noble intentions. Your ability to balance between your partisan emotions during the frequent altercations and your objective enforcement of Chowk guidelines as Chowk ``volunteer,`` is admirable. But, sir, even in Pakistan, the generals have often kept their uniforms on while serving in civilian roles and they don`t pretend to be Jeffersonian. Even if your role as ``volunteer,`` is to merely clean the restrooms at Chowk, you must be privy to all kinds of inside information, perhaps even administrative passwords scribbled on the walls of the stalls. Now, do you understand what I mean by ``YahaaN ke chor heN chowkidar?``

You must admit that having Chowk Staff delete perfectly polite threads and messages, while leaving intact, just a line below the erased material, threads in BOLD that include the vernacular for copulation, is rather a strange enforcement of your lofty guidelines. While not as sinister a practice but unfair at best is the success of your material, consisting of very bad poetry and this ``fine`` example of prose, getting published, while other applicants don`t even merit a response.

It is very obvious that there is an ``inside track`` at Chowk that provides an unfair advantage for Chowk ``insiders`` at the detriment of the general audience. I support your efforts in removing these lingering doubts that definitely dilute the credibility of an otherwise effective medium. I am sure that this was NOT the intention of the genuinely egalitarian founders of Chowk.

Thank you for your patience in reading the other side of the issue.

Sincerely,

Salim

so this fuckwit salim comes here and spends most of his times fantasizing about raping women interactors and people dont have a problem with it. if this does not explain why desistan is so screwed up, i dont know what else will. and no this is not a freedom of speech issue. no decent website allows sick fuckers like salim to interact. that chowk-staff still allow him to post here says a lot about the people who run this place.

Re: # 258

Faisal

“this fuckwit salim...sick fuckers like salim”

What makes you think you are any better? And why shouldn’t he be allowed to return you in kind?

“that chowk-staff still allow him to post here says a lot about the people who run this place.”

They allowed this post of yours. That says a lot not only about them but you as well!

Re: # 257

urstruly,

..... that is okay as long as you refrain from posting jihadi propaganda, specially in urdu ........

......... but it also confirms my thesis that people of the religious persuasion are not interested in meeting with people of other faiths, or no faith, because they are afraid it will undermine their faith .............kind of like those jehova`s witnesses and the tableegi jamaat guys who run like hell when you insist on talking back ........ also they are insecure and are afraid of venturing into the general public in broad daylight - they prefer to stay with their own kind in dark places ........ however, given our past interacts i thought that you had not yet reached the terminal stage of the disease and would actually show up .......... oh well, your loss - lunch was delicious .........

...... by the way, you should check out sheik kabbani who has many followers in your neck of the woods - he presents a kinder gentler face of islam and can help you ..............

ZahraJ #239, {``The simplest resolution to this issue will be to offer Saleem a role in moderating the posts/interacts on Chowk.``}

Zahra, my articulate behen,
Thank you for the honor, but in the interest of freedom, I decline with the utmost humility and gratitude.
``If nominated, I will not run. If elected, I will not serve.`` :)
Respectfully,

Salim

#232, Urstruly Saheb, {``#232 by Urstruly on August 30, 2005 5:25pm PT

``(ay) khuda mujhay itna tau mO`ta`ber karday
keh jis makaaN meiN rehta hooN, ghar kar de. ``}

Lovely shair, except that I don`t understand, sir, why the poet is begging for obesity. I must be mistaken. My highest class of Urdu instruction was the fifth, so my friend, I plead the fifth in case I am most probably wrong. :)

Please send me an e-mail indicating the number of drinks you had and the number Mr. Hamdim2 had. I just want to keep him honest when he charges to my Amex number. :)

commas; always use commas, within sentences....
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Actually, it should be ``commas; always use commas, within sentences, ...`` (extra comma after ``sentences``). Commas have three common uses, as we can see by looking at Nehru`s famous speech:

``At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom. A moment comes, which comes but rarely in history, when we step out from the old to the new, when an age ends, and when the soul of a nation, long suppressed, finds utterance.``

(1) Commas can be used to separate a list of dependent clauses. In the phrase ``At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom``, the phrase ``India will awake to life and freedom`` is qualified by the preceding two phrases. Therefore the phrase ``India...`` is separated from the preceding two phrases by commas.

(2) Commas can be used to separate a list of things. In this case, ``and`` should always be used with the last thing. In Nehru`s speech, this is the way the commas in the phrase ``when we step out from the old to the new, when an age ends, and when the soul of a nation...`` are used; they describe three things that have happened at this moment.

The same is true of most (not all) of the commas from Churchill`s famous speech below (though strictly speaking, there is a grammatical mistake, since there is no ``and`` after the last comma - proving Nehru`s English grammar was better than Churchill`s)

``We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills``

(3) Comma pairs can also be used to set off a parenthetical expression. A parenthetical expression is a side thought that either is not part of the main thought or qualifies the main thought. In Nehru`s speech, I have replaced the comma pairs used parenthetically with ( and ).

``A moment comes (which comes but rarely in history) when we step out from the old to the new, when an age ends, and when the soul of a nation (long suppressed) finds utterance.``

Detection of the parenthetical commas in Churchill`s speech is left as an exercise for the reader.

Godot: You have summarised it correctly. Look how much volume of post Samin Asha generates. It can be pricked with needle and a loud booming noise and temperature rise will show that that is all hot air. Every word of Mr. Salim is funny and intelligent even if sometime it is in anger. There is no comparison.
