Temporal,
It may not be too farfetched to think that you actually look forward to women getting raped in Pakistan so that you can inject some real venom in your hate propaganda against Mushy. One could almost call you an opportunist. You know like the ambulance chaser, you just chase after cries of agony and abuse.
You are so obvious.

#82, All I will say that I have responded to profanity from your cohorts, who were not banned in those days for the worst insults they hurled at me. Most of Chowk UP is my witness. Why is it always the same bunch? Ever think of that?

Folks,
Here is the diffierence. I am trying to focus on issues and viewpoints. Temporal and his cohorts want to concentrate on individual interactors and their ``perceived`` personalities. In a nutshell, maybe that is the essential difference between India and Pakistan. Actions, policies, law, and the news are important to Indians. To Pakistanis, the person and his personality and characteristics are more important. Who said it? what`s his religion? How many times does he pray? Does he drink alcohol?

Friend #83, {``This is a diseased system and a prime symbol of that system, Mushy is a reasonable target.``}

When you or many Indians or even some Pakis target Mushy, I would say that he is a reasonable target. When ostensibly impartial troublemakers, such as Mr. Temporal, target his favorite bete noir, I suspect the sincerity of the attacks. As I said earlier, Temporal would plant drugs in Mushy`s grandson`s diapers, just to get his enemy in trouble. This is what mean-spiritied demagogues and hateful individuals do.

Getting back to the merits of the rape case and Mushy`s stupidity, my numerous messages make my position clear. Heck, if there were true democracy in Pakistan, I would support a call for his resignation. In fact, that may not be a bad idea, as long as Temporal doesn`t get a chance to gloat over it. ``)

Dost ji, why so much benefit of doubt to a military dictator? while we don`t spare the politicians at all? I doubt you would make this statement about a politician if he/she blurted those words. Is it because we subconsciously believe that a politician is answerable to us but a dictator is not?

Temporal,
I thought that we were going to bury the past and start afresh on Chowk. I am abiding by my resolve not to respond to profanity with more profanity. I am trying to avoid your cohorts. If I chose to participate in discussions, why do your accomplices resort to personal attacks and attempts to bait me into angry vulgarity in response?

You were never serious about a fresh new environment on Chowk were you?

Salim
Kindly do not treat this as a feeding frenzy at Mushy`s expense. Mushy represents that environment in our communities where powerful always gets away with anything - whether it is rape of a woman or rape of principles.
It is everyone`s frustration coming out. It is also coming out with a hope that perhaps this time we can get a big guy to act properly and make corrections to our ``diseased`` system.

I am not chasing mushy because he is Pakistani. Mushy`s mirror images are in India too. Do you think anything positive can now happen to Sonia Naz? Even if a court now convicts the perpetrators, tomorrow another Sonia Naz will get raped.

This is a diseased system and a prime symbol of that system, Mushy is a reasonable target.

#78 Temporal {``I have refrained from responding to profanity with further profanity... ``}

Tempy,
Why don`t you provide the full quote? as follows:

{``I have refrained from responding to profanity with further profanity, even when provoked by people like Khamkhwa, Scout, and Samina. I have lived up to this resolve for the past month or more.

If you notice, the one-sided profanity that your servant and minion has posted are dated more than a month ago. Why don`t you ask him to post the provoking profanity from your friends Scout, Samina, and Khamkhwa?

Quoting out of context and providing one-sided accounts of events is something that you and your cohorts have mastered for some time. Temporal, we can all see right through you and your hypocrisy.

Shame on YOU!

#78, Temporal,
Did you stop beating your wife? Please answer this first. A YES or NO will be fine.

#65, Temporal {`` how come me expressing my views becomes playing nanny?``}

Because yours was a command to Chowk Staff to delete a certain message and you have done that yourself before. You practice censorship of words you don`t like and then you have the nerve to complain about dictators? Once a hypocrite always a hypocrite.

...I have refrained from responding to profanity with further profanity...
