Re: # 5

Subroto Sahib,, did you mean to say that the recent spate of obtuse essays would have gotten filtered thru? By the way the new model is that different people define what is “abusive” differently.

Ah! However I don`t believe posts go through an edit review/process. The posting is instaneous and can be addressed to the writer/interactor. THis provides for a more personal interaction. The moderation process does not seem to be working anyway otherwise the recent spate of abusive posts would have got filtered out.

Re: # 3

Response to Subroto`s post:

This is how I will explain my posts.

Usually, I submit my post to the editor of Chowk, and that is why I think it is appropriate to submit respectfully. However, to draw attention to the person about his post, I usually identify him by name/handle name. Since this is not a letter written directly to that person I am addressing to I don`t think sincerely works. I am trying to create a sense of moderator in between my post and the interactor that I am addressing to. I am sorry that this has created a lot of confusion.

However, I hope this new style of mine should clarify things better.

Respectfully submitted,

Dear Sir,
To write a rude response to someone`s article and then end it with a ``respectful`` salutation at the end is inauthentic. May I suggest ``sincerely`` as that is what the intention is.
Sincerely,
Subroto

Dear mirmir

[If you love someone, if you truly LOVE someone, you recognize it when they`re ill, and you do whatever you can to see that they get better.]

I know that you are sick. Go get help before it is too left. What rubbish thoughts, right from some commie handout.

Nevertheless,

Respectfully submitted,

Mirmir Sahib, Your essay got increasingly nauseating after the 2nd paragraph. Do you even have a clue how much someone will pay to live in Harlem???? Hello? This is 22nd century and not the 1960 in which you seem to be living. A Jew is the Mayor, and more than half of the Bombers are niggers, and so are roughly 62.87 % of Mets, while the niggers only make up about 25% of the NYC population.

The fact that you wrote an ass backward essay about the USA and not about New Zealand is a testimonial enough that the experiment has been successful enough to give an awakening call to the ones not bright enough to figure out their own stupidness. Good going. No wonder that you felt a need to mention your worldly experience. I am sure you wished you lived in Paris or in Sana Yemen. Yemen by the way is near the Camel Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, where Allah lives.

Next time you wana write about the drug cartels in Columbia, please make sure you are not living in or near Bogota.
