``harrassing me``

Well, there`s an irony if I ever saw one!

Re: # 85

friend

If you feel you have a right to conduct a survey on this board, I`ve a right to question its authencity.

Now answer the 2 questions:

1) Name one boradcast, print, or web where the editor is selected based on popularity contest?

2) How many times an individual can submit your survey?

If you cannot come up with answers then tell the Editor what to do with your posts and your userid.

Re: # 82

My dear ``friend``

How many times can an individual submit your survey (just provide a number between 1 and infinity)? How authentic does that make your survey?

Chowk staff,
One more suggestion (though it is quite clear that you know all and will not read it)..

Create an online survey to find out how many Chowkies think that FV is a good choice for chowk editor. Also find out if Chowk is serving its purpose and need.

``Create an online survey to find out how many Chowkies think that FV is a good choice for chowk editor.``

Can you name any boradcast, print, or web where the editor is selected based on popularity contest?

``find out if Chowk is serving its purpose and need.``

And what do you think Chowk`s ``purpose`` is and which ``need`` it`s suppose to be serving?

{{speak wisely, you will be herad>}}}
When, we will be heard??After one century???
Why you do not respond to us immediately and stop this women abuse on Un Plugged??
Or, else I believe it is chowk staff and Farzana Versey who are harrassing women under different nicks.

Farzana Versey
Stop playing with words. Sometimes it is good to play with words, but, there are times when you have to be practical. Being chief ediotr, IT IS YOUR JOB TO POLICE THE CHOWK,ESPECIALLY UNPLUGGED. If, you will not police, and let men abuse women the way it is going on with no rules and regulations, Which direction will you take chowk to???
Obviously, you are encouraging chowk to become an abusive criminal web site with NO respect left for each other and for women. I condemn your policy...........

chowk staff
Since, Farzana Versey has joined the office, this chowk web site has become fish market. It was very interesting when Saima Shah was the chief editor. She cared for chowk`s interact guidelines. She was a decent woman of principles. Farzana versey is just the opposite of Saima Shah. Chowk has become a TAMASHA where khamkhwa and catchy are harrassing me and stalking me. They have NO life left. I feel sorry for these two persons who are stalking a stranger woman 24 hours/7 days.

Chowk has become just an insult to interact for fair people. Good for Saminasha and others who left. I am also leaving this web site. But, I think, khamkhwa and catchy just feel pleasure to stalk me. and I can not please them any more. Good for khamkhwa and catchy.
Now, they will stalk someone else.
used to enjoy chowk when it was just benign site with some standards, now, this web site is nothing more than a gutter....................I mean it. This gutter stinks.

Farzana Versey
Don`t you know the international rules and regulations of internet????
If, you do, you also have to set strict rules here or else, resign from your chief editor ship. I believe, Saminasha will be much much better CHIEF EDITOR. She has all the sense to run a web site. or Temporal was the best for running this web site......
As for as Farzana Versey is, yes I never liked her articles. But, choosing her as chief editor of chowk and then her response that she will not be responsible for Un Plugged , she will not appreciate COMPLAINTS, she will not take care of any abuse or porno pictures here, makes me nuseated, this is sick, absolutely sick...................
Being chief editor is a very sensitive job. It is samething, if some President of country after being elected announces that he will not be responsible for any CRIME in the country. All criminals are wellcome to committ crimes in this country under my rule.
Sorry, I can`t be part of this new version of crime chowk.com ....................

some words from Farzana`s editorial and my response to them:

``“Who is Chowk staff?” was the question asked several times until just the other day, appended with adjectives about cowardice, invisibility and waywardness. Now, when I am here to take responsibility, the comment being made is about how you miss the ‘enigma’ that was Chowk!``

and then later..

``Chowk has not done that. It has given you the power to be yourself – together with that power comes responsibility. Clearly, not everyone is equipped for that. ``



Clearly, you can do better to use that `power` in a responsible way.

Actions speak louder than words Farzana. It`s easy to claim responsibility but to exercise it is another matter. You have not exercised it yet. Interactors and their families pictures are being posted along with copyright infringements, I emailed chowk staff to remove them.
But there is silence. So don`t talk about `responsibility` until you can really take it.

It`s all loose talk and loose talk is easy.

copyright infringement and publication of interactor`s pictures without their permission:


is this allowed on chowk?

someone on unplugged posted a picture from a copyrighted site, a picture of an interactor and her family

i emailed chowk staff with the request to remove the interactor, and there was silence


Farzana,

Do you allow women and their families to be subjected to this kind of illegal `exposure` on this website?

after all the good suggestions for the format of the front page, the front page remains the same.... a colorful, clownish, verbal vomitus
