Pathetic QLers

Chelsea
By Chelsea

Why has every discussion suddenly become so personal? What happened to the days when QLers could have a debate on one thread and be of opposing views and then in the next be joking and laughing together?

Since when have people stooped so low as to bring completely random and un-necessary comments into threads? Giving personal digs and following them from thread to thread deliberately attacking them? Dragging up previous comments from months ago?

So you don't agree with a comment about abayas written by a QAWS member. Why then drag in the fire we had almost a year ago and start saying "now we know why it happened" & "I'm not suprised you had a fire"? What has that got to do with anything? All it does is make you look petty and immature.

There are too many QLers with more then one account, with the 2nd seemingly only created to have a buddy that'll stick up for you when the going gets tough.

And no this isn't aimed at everyone, just the ones determined to ruin QL for the rest of us.

It's time certain QLers started to grow up.

chelsea, don't you think you are giving this site too much importance and impact on your life? I mean, it is a website! lol... so get over it ;) it happens that it answers most queries because it's got a big population of people on it. It is like complaining about a country that has crime in it.

The design of the site is real funny tho.

1- one can not delete their own post?

2- clicking on the topic takes you to first page not last?

3- Mods do not delete un related comments but delete a word like sh*T

etc

I'm very angry that my thread had to be shut down because of some people with an obvious political or religious agenda. My thread had nothing to do with covering or not covering and some of the comments made by Eco-Savvy and Versimilitude were simply disgusting.

bad on QL... unfortunately sometimes people say things and then all hell breaks loose...

I used to be alot more tolerant to people that irked me on QL - unfortunately I don't seem to have that same tolerance anymore:-(

I for one apologise for the thread that started it all, for getting out of hand - I make no excuses... its silly to get involved with "one track minds".

I plan on refraining from commenting in future on threads where people are "showing red flags to bulls";-P

I will put on my happy QL face and stick to nice normal threads:-)

Harry99, you are correct.... everything posted is like East trying to show west is bad and West trying to show East is bad...

I came to Qatar to learn about the ME and the cultures here - it always facinated me - I love it here - I love everything about it - good and bad... I understand that people get defensive about their "natural habitat" but there is good and bad in both places and it all needs to be taken looked at in context...

It was an unfortunate case of shoody electrics + (we think) mouse that started the whole thing, though looking at what was left of the wiring afterwards, it could have just been the electrics on it's own. A tiny fire in a wooden building meant it was out of control within minutes.

Chelsea, you might think it's pointless, but I don't. You know why? You express how you feel and the bashers come out in force. If I was you I would feel satisfied to see how many people are so frustrated that the only way they think is safe to ATTACK is to do it behind (what they think is) a created username. I stand for what I feel and do. I argue my points. But I meet ignorance with even more ignorance. It's stopped being worth it trying to hammer any little bit of common sense into peoples' brains. Look at why QAWS has burned down - how lower can people sink??? Ban of face cover in France - what do we always hear, like a broken record? Don't like it, leave! Amen to that!

You can never argue with ignorant people because they will beat you with senseless stupidity.

Alumnar has highlighted the issues. QL has got worse. It is a lot more cliquey (sorry if it is spelt wrongly).

Friends cover each other no matter if the other is writing garbage. They gang up on others. Personal attacks are common. Many people think that they can cover their snide remarks by adding a ";)" .

Most posts get turned into Pro-Islam / Anti-Islam rhetoric. Post a neagtive story about the West and you become a West Basher. Post a negative story about thuis region and you become an Islam basher.

It is a real shame because there could be so much to discuss and learn from each other.

QL has turned into a place where Personal Attacks should be under a 'Favourites' Section. It also seems that anything counts and while some people get away with virtual murder, others get simple and non-offensive posts deleted because they don't fall in line with whatever sensorship decides that day. Dirty counterattacks are more and more common, ignorance is enforced with swearing and pointless posts rule the website. A real shame...

Rabbit, i think i made my point clear. when people are running out of argument, they go personal.

and that's the way QL has always been.

Dont you think so?

are you implying that QL is polite, courteous, respectful to the views of all members? Is that what you are saying?

or it is full of insult, personal offence and hatred?

which one is real QL in your point of view?

I do enjoy a good debate/argument and anyone who knows me personally will vouch for that!!

I just hate the personal low-blows that have nothing to do with the topic in discussion.

I don't hold any grudges with any QLers and if I agree with someone on one thread doesn't mean I agree with everything they've ever said or done!! If I disagree with someone on a thread doesn't mean I'm going to follow them around deliberately attacking them!

Very little debate here, I could post a thread about a woman buying some bread and dropping a 500 QR note and me picking it up and giving it to her. Next thing would be somethign posted about Israel, how G Bush is the anti-christ and Tom Cruise drinks the blood of muslims while having illicit relations, plus a pathetic fine for a motorist who killed a family of 5.
