Pathetic QLers
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.
Nothing change at all! lots of newbies and more bullies! lol! :P
It's nice to feel the love flowing on QL these days ;)
I'm so glad I made you laugh. My work is done.
Veris no need to cry to the mods again for me hurting your feelings, I am done with you and your buddies from the flintstones. LOL! Have a good night.
you hurt my feelings... :-(
you are way too soft for a Qatari
I think you should keep away from the muffins for a while
nothing like khubs and camel milk to build some character
You are the pathetic joke, you made me laugh!
i like the taste more, if baked with infidel's spokesman.
vers you need to exit your cave and eat some muffins, they would do you good, I am sure you can find a recipe online to prepare some for yourself, no need to eat infidel tainted goods. :)
probably cos you haven't had enuff of them muffins, please help yourself to some more...
son
Xena said Arghhh... never mind Olive ...
only 1.5months left to go before the children have to return to school.... am sure we can cope with babysitting till then;-P
Why do I remember the phrase, I scratch your back, you scratch mine ;)

blueberry muffins are known to do strange things to people's minds... especially home made one's with the right ingredients :-)
kbaisi
now i really doubt on your pure arab blood.
dot.com take your stone age mentality elsewhere buddy, you have no place in modern society.
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
thank you for showing up that u r one of them, who got offended when some one show you miror of barbaric practices.
now get a life, and be happy with your protectors.
wow after many days i can see fighting on QL...
finally any thread goes beyond the first page
thank everyone.. :)
dot.com has a habit of going off tangent in other people's threads but going all crazy if anyone dares to do the same in his propaganda loaded threads, unless of course the irrelevant material is in line with the propaganda.
Jeff: "What was the last thing you remember going through your head, Ahmed.....?"
Ahmed: "My A**"
hahahaha Drac!
Dracula no I keel you ;)
ssssIIIIlenceeee...I kill youuuu! :P
Dot.com yes I remember that, you can start a thread on war crimes and I will give my views there. Why do you run on a tangent if the discussion doesn't suit your taste?
Xena
ever u recall a poor 14 years Iraqi girl, raped by five US soldiers, then burned her and her entire family?
really world is full of hypocrites.
reminds me of Ahmed the dead Terrorist....
Location, location, location.... ;-P
Its bringing out the worst in us all =(
suicide is haram ;)
Eco-savvy your signature speaks volumes about you. If I was running a suicide bomber training center, I would have sent you your offer letter by now.
I got a better one;-P
Evil Xena and Fubar. I have not seen her participating in any threads earlier
I'm not making personal attacks against anyone. I haven't brought religion, race, age, gender, occupation or anything else into this. That's what bugs me about QL now - people bringing un-necessary comments about an individual into play.
Those crickets just keep getting louder and louder.
in here.... hmmm... better start closing windows and doors....
Thread starter herself has the traits of those Qlers.
Since I really missed out on Harry Potter books... can anyone teach me how to cast a vanquishing spell?
knowing his corrupt nature what should be your step? I am not here to fight with you seriously I have never seen you before. I need simple explanation why did you drag me is that too much I am asking?
Take the hint - we're ignoring your attempts at starting yet another personal slagging match.
You are free to believe what you want and regardless of what we say - you will never believe us anyway. So what's the point.
hmmmm.... must have been the wind....
to Qatar, QL will return to normal... its all your fault you know... all this started happening when you left;-P
Brit those aren't the hot threads, no apprantely attacking the girl harassed at Zig Zag and blaming her for being harassed is the hot topic today.
sorry to say that. I have provided you enough proof but you never come back reading those comments of Fubar.
They bring that stuff even to threads not related to politics britexpat.
Perhaps it's time to move away from religious / imperialism threads for a while :O)
Ugh. I may take a QL vacation. I'm cranky enough in this heat.
only 1.5months left to go before the children have to return to school.... am sure we can cope with babysitting till then;-P
Right now it seems to be like QL is full of bitter, bigoted, mean people. Maybe it's the heat that brings them out.
It would seem QL is filled with terrible liars... none of us can keep to the truth of anything:'-(
xena you are a terrible liar too? I though that was my title.
:-( I am soooo sorry... forgive me.... *sniff* *sob*
I swear, i have only one and one ID on QL and that is SONIYA..he hehee..I don't believe in having multiple IDs coz i don't have time to log in with all..
Again, everyone is so sick and tired of you trying to start a fight with everything anyone says - just back off and start your own thread if you want an argument.
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.
by lying? And there is not sign of guilty feelings. I am just thinking how many lies and stories you create on regular basis. I think "Dignity" has never touched your lives, I will die of shame if I am caught red handed with lies but since this is your full time profession, sure you are here in Qatar to help the developement with your Phd in Lying.
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...
I will start a topic on the winker tomorrow and see where it leads... :O)
Thank you for your kind words :) We do have an amazing number of supporters who without we wouldn't exist.
There are unfortunately though, a handful of people who seem to be against us, and make it their aim to ruin our reputation.
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 i think you should not get into controversies. The kind of work you are doing is more social and releated to public dealing and why do you care for bad comments .I follow your threads keenly and found that there are lot of people who appreciate your work.keep going
No gkramer, it was an electrical fault.
True Harry - every single topic leads to some kind of religious bashing these days! How sad is that? Are there no other valid and reasonable ways to discuss topics anymore?
By the way what was the deal with the QAWS fire, was it a suspected arson case?
Sorry don't know the details.
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.
I think some Qlers need rest!
and authorities shouldn't be bias ;(
why should we believe one... name them~!~
I totally agree with you and partly feel this thread falls under the "pointless posts" section!! It's not like it's going to make any difference!!
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?
Again - stop bringing other threads here.
If you want to continue that argument - start your own thread please.
[ENOUGH!]
those animals are not in safe hands. Ppl who lie openly
daringly how evill they are
and John you are one of them, you supported Fubar, did you check the link which i have posted? Fubar's obsession.
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!
chelsea honey- sorry but you are the one getting this going again! you are the baiter and the bait.
Although I agree with your comments, I REALLY don't want to drag that thread here and some people might not be able to resist the bait :D
Qatarisun - What's ur point? Agreeing with others POV shows only the intellectual bankruptcy.
oh, i agree with Chelsea.. when people are running out of reasonable arguments, they go personal... and then they consider themselves very intelligent and even superior.. it is just so pathetic..
some people know how to debate, and others know how to insult..
the only thing, it has been always the case on QL...
Jackmohan - fu's every thread runs longer than others.....
Exactly Draculla...today how many threads run into 3 page?
Chelsea...yeah... there are still some good QLers around.
and maybe "horror-happy end" one:

Hmmm..a sensitive one?
what about first marriage on QL?
http://www.qatarliving.com/node/132168
I'm not saying there were never arguments - because there were!! But it wasn't taken to the next thread and posts from months ago weren't dragged up to muddy someone's appearance. Things didn't seem to get personal like they do now.
Not a good example Dracula, show us a healthy debate about a sensitive topic ;)
This can be classified as a stupid thread :o)
Thanks for the memories... Where did those good times go ? :O(

Khattak It's normal human behavior to crave for the good old days. I highly doubt whether those threads were any different from the ones today. In 2013 people here will talk about the good old days 3 years back, that's how it rolls.
Khattak
u r new bee, u don't have the right to read it ;)
can I have more details about the motorist?? :P
Can someone dig & bring up those "Golden Threads" for me please?
They were the good old days!! Most of the old QLers have got bored and left I guess. There's still the faithful few that are still here and active... These are the ones that will never leave :D
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.
If I want fun, I sleep inside a carboard box. If I want to feel superior I log on to QL.......
I haven't seen a debate here yet, seen a few arguments and mud slinging though.
Many people say 2007 was the best QL era...
... the only difference then and now is that there are far fewer people commenting (if at all logging in) on QL.
70% of 2007 QLers no longer comment on QL. Few of them are no longer in Qatar...
Who says I am atheists, just a man with a lot of unanswered questions
she comes today and Lies openly. I dont even know her
if Fubar is their hero I feel sorry for innocent animals
i always admired with atheists sense of humor, if they can spare religion.
QL can only grow old now...growing up phase has passed.
Intelligence on QL is in the eye of writer.....
Fubar who is so obsessed and dragged me into.
Check how your Hero manupulates

I am indeed a QLer... And as I said - it doesn't apply to everyone. There are still a lot of good QLers that are just here to offer info for others and chat about random things.
Nomerci - I vaguely remember it from years back :D
Rabbit - I have no intention of bringing that thread here. That was just one example of all the crap that goes on these days on QL.
Eco - Again, bringing unrelated threads into discussion.
exiledsaint.....you are the only intelligent person around! or are you?
Chelsea..arent you a "QLer" too?
.
.
...pathetic, indeed!
Idiots paradise
Chelsea - If you are soooooo bothered about this site.....you shouldn't be bringing the muck from a locked thread for a fresh discussion. That speaks volumes about your intelligence.
The deletion of random comments just means that there's a lot of confusion as to why certain arguments started!
The Mod's seem to delete the offending post, but not all the other posts that relate to it!
"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? " Quote from Chelsea's post.
Now , when was that EVER the case on QL ???
So this thread will be locked or deleted very soon...
At least I've got my rant off my chest :D
part of the disturbing annoyance might be the constant deleting of posts by over enthusiastic MOD
For you honey :P
