Scarlett said human being.. ...

most likely, if you check all the posts on the first one you copied..the comments were getting more and more on a personal level towards the members of this forum..just a guess tho considering what qatari's comments were on the locking post...if you check back through the other posting that involve certain people who stir up messes, her/his responses generally make threads be locked due to the degeneration of the conversations.

Unfortunatly your thread was hijacked by trolls and turned into personal attacks and insults. The other didn't.

Good morning Scarlett! The link still works.

I suppose Qatari has put a validation check on the first link. If your country belongs to the North American continent, BLOCK.

This is strange, wonder why that is happening.

T_Coffee Good morning to you too!

Scarlett's picture

Scarlett said yes..you can't post..that's what locked means... ...

and rayyzzzz...come on now...the north american continent comment...that wasn't it..it was the personal attacks by posters and the nasty ugly comments that were DIRECTLY aimed at certain forum members...you know the drill...I KNOW you've seen it before on here...qatari was just trying to stop it before it got out of hand like its done in the past. If the posts in the second one had gotten like the ones in the first(directly personal)..qatari would do the same...lock it down. Some people just can't stop making those...just like some people can't stop being prejudiced against certain nationalities..go figure...

Scarlett... the thread header says blocked not locked. We all have been on forums for so many years, am sure I'd have realized if he had written it correctly.

And the North American comment was a joke, probably not clear enough :P

Is not that your subject was out of hand it was the people replies got out of control.
Remenber Is not censorship or block, Is just proprietary owners rights. Straight simple truth.

Qatari is the founder and he could decide the best avenue of approach. Since we most of the time get out of hand.

The problem merges on the right wing being super perfect, then the left wing being the holiest. All becomes a clash of titans, semi-gods and servants.

You should not allow such post to be published on that QL at least which is based on humilation and insult to any Country/ Religion ...

I know it is difficult to go thru all the posts at a time but one thing can be done to aovid such cases in future:

Create and link in the footer of the post "Report Abuse" next to "Email this page" in the Footer. So that you can receive complains and immeidate action can be taken.

If you want to talk to Qatari me think you should send him a PM, slim chance he will read your post. Sometimes when he is busy he is not online for few days.

canarybird said Good Morning All ...

How are you all, actually the thread did get out of hand yesterday because of the Human Rights Issues. Mrs. himself being as degenerat as always and people wanting to interfere in internal politics got their wrists slapped.

RED-POPE

"The problem merges on the right wing being super perfect, then the left wing being the holiest. All becomes a clash of titans, semi-gods and servants".

This comment does not validate the discussion - plain and simple the Olympic Games and Human Rights are two different issues. Too many people speaking through holes in thier hats led to personal abuse in the discussion finally it was just based on insults.

owen said rayyz, much as i am looking ...

rayyz, much as i am looking forward to one halloween party, guess that amigo is not into organizing one...hey amigo, thought you will????...

btw, rayyz..you're a no show last thursday night..:/

apologies for the hijack..:)

Scarlett said speed... ...

posts like that happen all the time, unfortunately..called freedom of speech..every nationality has been hit in some form or fashion on here and never in a good way...but, they are left for people to discuss and defend our friends and family, until they get too far out of control...then qatari takes over.

PM qatari with a complaint...he listens...

 

ksarat16's picture

ksarat16 said Hey there Canary ...

Hey there girl...how u doin...hows things lined...up...indeed...sometimes (or rather many a time these days)...posts keep getting out of hand...

Hey Owen...how u doin girl...u did seeem to have a go at QL's PM Facility yesterday if i m not wrong...all cool down today...

Good morning to you and every one else.

Mrs. not only targeted one but three seperate persons. She would not only talk illogical but argue on each comment.

..**.. ""They walk among us. They vote & they even reproduce"" ..**..

 

canarybird said ksarat16 - good morning ...

I love Qatar and I love gtting up every day to the sun and to the many people around me who support my life with their friendship. I get absolutely enraged with all the Qatar slagging especially because many people Qataris as well as foreigners are contributing to produce a Qatar worth living in.

It is not censorship.. Qatari is simply mediating.. he sees things are getting out hand and he put a stop on it..

rayyz said Owen ...

Yeah sorry about no show the other day. I did call up Ksarat during my show break to check up on things. But it took rather long, unexpectedly, to wind up things. By the time I was out of Sheraton it was 15 minutes past the midnight already. Didn't have much energy left to join you guys at the Orion.

canarybird said JhunBug - Good Morning ...

They very much did indeed the thread got into a slagging match which ruins a discussion.

If people would discuss with knowledge instead of hot air it would be much more interesting.

 

Scarlett's picture

Scarlett said yep...ksarat...tough job ...

holding these scales and balancing out what is said...hehehe..dang arm is getting heavy!!!

skdkak ...absolutely right...but typical.

jhunbug...yep..mediating...which is what he is supposed to do and does quite a good job of it, I might add! I certainly wouldn't want to do that...heck half the folks would be banned permanently if I did it! just kidding!

canary...I love Qatar also..but like any country..has its issues..but they are working on them!!!

 

Scarlett's picture

Scarlett said well rayyz..its alright...we'll forgive you ...

this time but you owe us now...and the interest rate is climbing...

 

rayyz's picture

rayyz said Scarlett ...

LOL. Interest rate??? What is that for now?

I had quite prepared wifey to be ready for few "wild" questions from my QL friends. So that really wasn't a worry at all. hehehhehhehe :P Too bad I couln't make it. Would have been super fun I think.

Is someone still trying to threaten me? LOL

hi all
QL still in a state of turmoil i see....
how s everyone this morning!!!
do it right - the first time!

 

canarybird said t_coffee_or_me ...

As I said to you yesterday it is true, however more slagging goes on on this site than any other site I know. I have lived in many countries and they all have their issues but I have always felt privelaged to be able to live and work there.

Scarlett - yes Qatar has its issues we all know but it a is growing nation and I think we are supporting that growth.

 

Scarlett's picture

Scarlett said I do canarybird...just hope its not ...

at the cost of the "real" Qatar...the souqs..the friendly people, etc..(ok the driving can change...lol) I will miss those if and when they go...but yes, Qatar needs to grow and they are working on that quite well...just need to find that happy medium between the two worlds that makes it a lovely balance..

 

Scarlett's picture

Scarlett said and a fine good morning to you coolquiet, mask and thealjazeera ...

welcome to the fray...don't know about you but I'm kinda tired of all the bickering. Seems that all you see here lately...where in the world are all these unhappy people coming from???

Mrs. said Sorry canary..you are wrong once again ...

We were all discussing the issue wisely until you started your ignorant post:
canarybird said RED_POPE knoxcollege, Mrs., HumanBeing ...
...why start pointing a finger at Doha.

This was my reply:
Mrs. said Canary ...
I think you need thick glasses to read what I wrote.
YOU ARE pointing a finger to Doha, not me

Where is the personal attack? You started talking rubbish & I wanted to correct you. That's all!

Then TCOM started personal attacks using words like "grown up" & "circus". This was an invitation to hit back:

t_coffee_or_me said Mrs ...
cool down why do u always get upset so fast stick to the topic like a grown up dont make it circus

Then we had the goat who keeps knocking his/her head against a wall:

skdkak said Mohd. ...
She needs a thrill in life which she might not have got from a long time.

I do not understand why some stupid people ignore the topic & start their personal attacks? Is it because they have no logic or enough education for a discussion?

hopefully you will reassure me that this is just transient.
do it right - the first time!

Scarlett said ahh gee I certainly hope so..maybe some folks are just ...

recovering from the heat CQM...it was actually quite lovely place to post a few months back..then the morons come out of the floorboards with their bashing and insults...never seen anything like it...certainly hope no one takes the representation of their home countries from their comments on here!! Sorta makes me think that sometimes the countries send them to somewhere else to get rid of them...kinda like..."here, YOU take them...we don't want them here! Bad example of our country!!" lol

However as you gave the pun it is called "Desperate Housewives" wheras "Dangerous Housewives" would be the ideal Title and I only watch it when I am bored - but it is cynically funny and the amout of deaths which occur from misplaced comments. LOL

I have never PM..ed to a single member in QL till date, least of all Her.

I will abide by my word for not replying her - what ever be the provocation.
