He is welcome to post, provided he avoids The Three Nos: Obscenity, Irrelevance and Stupidity.<br /><br />I will happily post a message from Hafiz Saeed, provided it is sensible and relevant. Obscenity in language, I presume, is a no-no for him, even if his existence, itself, is an obscenity.<br /><br />In fact, Vincent sent in an otherwise fairly apt comment, that I had to reject for publication only because it contained obscenity and threats. Had those components not been there, it would have been up on the comments board.<br /><br />So set aside your petty little internet squabbles, and focus on the issues please!Broadswordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13076780076240598482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-6487081225058354992009-10-04T13:22:48.274-07:002009-10-04T13:22:48.274-07:00and vincent is here to promote each one of those d...and vincent is here to promote each one of those dividing lines and divide and insult us further. just because someone is shouting hoarse doesn't mean he has a valid point.<br />donkeys bray all the time, if you catch my drift !<br />so i don't understand what is to be gained by listening to him other than boredom.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-71131614781678488512009-10-04T04:14:48.474-07:002009-10-04T04:14:48.474-07:00Anon@ 21:21,

In may view we must never be shy or ashamed of imbibing ideas, knowledge from people one disagrees with :). Indian history if it has taught us anything is that infighting amongst us due to pride, jealousy, greed, caste differences and an inability to cooperate with each other has always led to our downfall. <br /><br />Cheersjaynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-80019221137699938012009-10-03T08:51:47.805-07:002009-10-03T08:51:47.805-07:00Man, another sock puppet "Jay" to suppor...Man, another sock puppet "Jay" to support himself - ie Vincent<br /><br />Ajaiji, I believe its just been a few years for you posting on the net, so you might be unaware of the dynamics that take place...Vincent is what is known as a troll. He comes, disrupts and leaves, a fake name, a deliberate intent to infuriate, annoy and disrupt discussions is his intent..<br /><br />What happens then is people flame back, it reaches critical mass and then you have to introduce comment moderation...and the work swamps you and people like Vincent continue to sneak in their pointed barbs..<br /><br />Simple thing would be to identify the troll and put his agenda to rest...its that straightforward...just delete Vincents posts a few times and the troll will get an idea that his tactics dont work and especially if other members know that Vincents posts will get deleted and dont respond in turn..<br /><br />Thats how 90% of the successful forums on the net work...they recognise the valuable contributors from those who come just to make trouble..<br /><br />It would help your time management as well..in fact the troll phenomenon was first documented way back on usenet when these discussion groups first took off..and things became unmanageable thanks to other "Vincents"..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-10733467161849087092009-10-03T04:09:06.599-07:002009-10-03T04:09:06.599-07:00Hi Ajai,

Just look at his frequent references to caste, hindutva, brahmin etc and typical white man's confusion about other people having same amount of self-respect, on a defence blog carefully planted within bits of redneck defence info.<br /><br />There may have been idiots(underinformed laymen civilians) and I know who you are pointing at but atleast they have well defending against Vincent's masked propaganda.<br /><br />The point is will you moderate a comment from Vincent that provides little bit of info besides humiliating propaganda?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-27429057222556536692009-10-02T01:28:47.549-07:002009-10-02T01:28:47.549-07:00Dear Adivasi,

But if anyone's post is objectionable, it will not be posted.<br /><br />If Vincent has views different from many who post here, that's fine. He's entitled to his views and, at the risk of being lynched, let me say that SOME of them make eminent sense! But his proclivity for obscenity will run up against a wall of censorship!!<br /><br />It is surprising that all the views expressed are in favour of moderating the blog. I promise that I have not filtered out even ONE view saying... we shouldn't have comment moderation. I wonder why.<br /><br />Will definitely try to answer specific questions.<br /><br />cheers!Broadswordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13076780076240598482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-21840561093265937892009-10-01T23:18:36.715-07:002009-10-01T23:18:36.715-07:00I'm Passive member of this blog, I feel really...I'm Passive member of this blog, I feel really irritated to go through Vincent's comments, is it possible to blacklist him.Adivasihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05610354643866903733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-40327602011965945552009-09-30T21:39:21.646-07:002009-09-30T21:39:21.646-07:00Excellent decision.
