QL Community
By brandylady •
Hi Guys,
Just wondering, when I joined QL I thought I was joining an online community, however, recently I have noticed that some threads turn from intelligent debate to name calling, childish posts.
If I am not mistaken, the word community suggests people working and coming together to help and aid each other, to offer support when needed.
So, to the minority of people who don't understand the word "community" this is just a small reminder.
Lets keep it pleasant, we can all have different opinions, it's what makes us individuals, there is no need to turn them into hateful, offensive posts.
either way its good entertainment :)
Actually 9 times out of 10 I do strongly believe in what I'm arguing. 1 time out of 10 I'm just taking the piss :D

hehehehe those who do its their problem.. i see u as the people defender LOL..
You chose the lost cause and fight for it turning the tables around.. LOL
I guess u just love to debate..
Thanks Loulsy. Honestly some days I start to worry that people confuse me for one of the bullies. :)

I'm new around here and been going around in forums and ready.. I agree with you Brandlady about the attitude of some people.. honestly its like they got nothing better to do than be bullies..
Gypsy.. i was lucky to come upon one of ur debates with the all famous "red_pope" about gays and lesbians and i loved it.. I love the way u debate a topic to the end and stick with what you believe :)
firstly Mr K I would be the first to tell said ladies that you are worth getting to know, not chasing them from you :)
Bakamuna, cheeky!!!! ;)
good comment, age difference, religion etc are all factors in each of us having our own opinions, we are all entitled to voice those opinions but we can do it in a civilised manner :)
:o....wats happening to cricket this week....oooops
So stop implying that...and driving away all my lovely ladies away from me...
Speaking of which, where is my dear dear Formatted soul...
you?? flirting??? what a terrible thing to imply ;)
I know shame on all of you making a wreck of a class when i m not there...
and well regd Flirting, hell no, dont accuse me...I'm as innocent as a normal feather...
sorry to upset the fragile equilibriam of QL, should have known some would use this thread as a vent again to get rid of their pent up frustrations,
Tallg had me laughing out loud though.
Now, flirting, well, you can flutter your eyelashes, smile sweetly and know that you don't need any lessons in flirting Mr K ;)
Brandy, I've seen it a few times. I can really relate to the Philly sports fan in the movie. I remember when I first got married my wife used to laugh at me every time I watched my teams play. If things weren't going well, I was just like the fan in the movie. It's a Philly thing.

definitely there will be difference in opinion and any provocateur will be dealt accordingly. Specially if the provocateur is hiding something in his/her profiles that doesn't seem to fit the level of argument being raised.
It's just like saying, on a common subject, a 40-year-old person will have a very distinct difference in opinion with a person half this age and sometimes it's that sense that provokes others.
It will be natural for gentlemen to treat a lady a little bit differently (in some ways or in some extent of leverage handling) but will not give the same treatment to a "bashing" same "bull" (expressions only, no offense intended).

this should be considered as hijacking lol.. discussing conversations from another thread.. :D don't you fellas know the meaning of "chill"..

Now what in the world is going in my kingdom when I'm not around, somebody calling someone a flirt and what the hell, hey people, out of all you TallG actually goin in for an intensive debate hmmmm my friend, I have to set you right, looks like you do have to be punished and thrown outta my class of QL...LOL!
And whats with that thread again, Mayasunil, now you have to learn to forgive, forget and move on girl...and seriously, those comments of Not being alone, shouldnt be expressed in such a way on QL...
And who said anything about Flirts, what are they...? and how do they talk and play their game...can anyone tell...?
all the worlds problems our fault !!
Yer countries history isnt so bloody rosey neither, so dont play that game......
We have enough problems on here with our resident Indian "i hate White people" nutter, Mir.We dont need another one like him !

you been watching 'anger management' :)
it seems that certain people use this site only to vent their anger and frustrations. They don't care who they insult, am sure most of them don't even know why they are angry.
Guidelines are for decent people to go by ;)
Maya repeat after me, goose fraba. Just say that 3 times and it'll be ok.

your thread is long gone and forgotten, and most of the postings you got were a result of some of the unintelligent things you said, the number of answers isn't a guide to popularity
did you take a funny pill this morning???
I seriously laughed until I ached at your comment about having yourself banned, great stuff ;)
OOps.. I never knew ma thread would provocate this many!!!!!!
though i still dont understand why should it provocate you all.
Right brandy, I'm off to kneecap myself with a baseball bat. I'll let you know when I make it to Hamad.
"I would warn anyone who wana abuse me on ma face.. thats what u did. I am a woman, but not a single."
So now what, shes gonna get her husband to come along and pick a fight ?

tallg if you do end up in hospital i will be first there with grapes and magazines as a thank you for making me laugh :)
I think I need protection. Perhaps DaRuDe would be my guard wolf. How much do you think he charges?
you are the one who still cant get over that useless thread...and don’t act funny now...chasing someone like you..must be the last thing am doing on QL..lol grow up lady!
you obviously have no answer for what tallg said...He didn’t call you a flirt...
she was referring Hamad Mental Care unit for herself....:)

hey gypsy, think tallg or yourself are good enough air fresheners to get rid of bad smells!!!! ;)
Whatever you do tallg, don't flirt with her first, you might end up in the morgue.

Nah Brandy, people like Maya are like a bad smell, almost impossible to get rid of.

You're right brandy. I'm better than that. And I feel ashamed that I just partook in exactly the thing this thread was rallying against. I'm going to PM qatari and ask him to ban me until I've learnt my lesson!
And I really wish I hadn't started it, cos now I'm scared I'm gonna end up in Hamad with all my limbs broken!
formatted .. lol.. I remember i calld you an ignorant in ma thread when u came out with some silly points.
dont take it personal and chase me everywhere now .. haha
no problem with the hijacking just thought you didn't need to rise to the bait :)
Thats again depends , whether its bad or good brandy..
ya i was mentioning on someone who failed to understand it and started to humiliate a woman.
anyways, i can see whts goin on out here. am off
Learn to comprehend the sentence correctly before accusing someone..
Sorry brandy. Hijack over.
women and men both flirt, it doesn't make them bad people, it certainly doesn't warrant abuse.
My thread was about community and some peoples inability to understand the meaning of the word.
Tallg, provocation is what keeps certain individuals going, hold your head up and rise above it :)
"Tell me who your friends are and I will tell you who you are"
I would warn anyone who wana abuse me on ma face.. thats what u did. I am a woman, but not a single.
i ddnt bring it here to discuss the thread. see yourself wht the post is about.
You weren't called a flirt, it was suggested that someone flirted with you. There's a difference.
And anyways, like you said in that thread; "flirting is fun".
Calling a woman.. a flirt .. is a negative comment or an insult or abuse????
Why post it if you didn't want to "provocate anyone"?
And why bring it up in this thread if you "dont wana talk about that subject or thread here"?
And I still want to know if you were threatening me.
your thread started with history and ended up a tirade against the british,
and believe me, I wouldn't suffer abuse, either verbally or physically so leave me out of your rantings.
resorting to insults is another, knew certain people would jump on this thread to re-start something best left alone
cool brandy ... so its fine to abuse a lady as per you!!!!
forget about the thread and subject. It was on a historical subject, not to provocate anyone.
cheers
Gypsy.. dont worry.. people appreciated than the few ignornt deniels there. i dont wana talk about that subject or thread here.
This shows no respect to women out here.. none can tell a woman that she is been flirted and stuff on an open forum.
It's got nothing to do with my feelings. My point is that if you start a thread about something that happened years and years ago, that everyone already knows about, that has been discussed to death before AND has nothing to do with Qatar or Qatar Living, then you're leaving yourself open to being insulted and abused.
You can't go round starting provocative threads and then cry when people react. Grow up.
While writing on open forums, you should be prepared to take negative comments as well. Not necessary everyone agrees to what you say.
comment as requested.
My thread was nothing to do with any person or persons in particular, those who do resort to personal insults know who they are.
We have a saying in good old England
'if the cap fits'
The only people stupid enough to call Brit's thieves are people with absolutely no world knowledge of history or politics. By starting that thread you basically proclaimed yourself ignorant and opened yourself up to a tirade of insults and accusations.

Anyway that was an useless thread...to debate on something that happened even before we were born and obviously no one can change history.
Eh? "Hamad is not a very good hostpital". Is that a threat?
Gypsy ; none would love to hear someone call them a ''thief''.. that too when you cant deny it.
don't start again over here....!!!!!!!!

Tallg ; I can understand your feelings being a british.
it will be ridiculous and annoying to you for no doubt
Oh THAT stupid thread. Ya, she got what she asked for.
Visit www.qatarhappening.com
gypsy ; the british looted one wher we debated lol.
tallg ; Think twice when u tell a woman that she is been flirted , that too when she is not single and has someone to take care. Hamad is not a very good hospital.
http://qatarliving.com/node/131497
In my opinion that was a ridiculous thread to start and you were asking for everything you got.
Right or wrong, I'm fairly certain DaRuDe would have no problem saying it to your face!
What thread was that?
Visit www.qatarhappening.com
I came with a subject which I felt is relevnt and deserves a debate..there wrer 258 responses to that too.
I was abused and humilated by DARUDE. see below,
DaRuDe said Ksa ...
Guess some brit winked at her or flirted with her badly. and now she is taking all her anger on all the brits.
WOULD YOU DARE TO SAY THIS ON MA FACE ??? NO.. YOU JUST ANOTHER COWARD WHO BARKS WHEN ITS VIRTUAL.
Is this a gentleway of talking to a lady??If you are civilised you wont.
Bandylady I request your comments.
Oh LOL. Ya, I guess that would be scary. They can take solace in the fact that I can't spell and don't know my then from my than. ;)

I wasn't implying you were mean to newbies! I meant if their first experience of QL was to read through an argument/discussion between you and one of your adversaries.
I think I'm ok on newbies....unless they tell me I'm going to hell or something, then screw em, they're open targets then. :D

Haha! I just feel sorry for any newbies who's first experience of QL is a thread you're involved in. They must run for their lives!

You are certainly the queen of goaders Gypsy! If you weren't such a long-standing member of QL I think people would have labelled you a troll :p
but I admire the way you do it, with an intelligent, no name calling manner :)
You need to do what I do, and goad them. So much fun. :D

oh brandylady.. you are one idealist QL user... you got a good point.. honestly, that's how i feel before... you will read those kind of posts...you will gone tired of it.. and refrain from posting (for a while)... it's part of the virtual community, you will get used to it...:)
just choose where to post and what to post... :)
[img_assist|nid=12867|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood.
I do ignore them, just wanted to make a point, that it is their lack of intelligence that makes them get personal and insulting ;)
oh brandylady just ignore them...dont waste your time and energy with these freaks...
its just so sad these silly people are part of this community...but they'll get busted eventually...stay cool!

They wont be around long with a name like that.
I did and thats what brought me to start this thread, I love nothing better than reading or participating in a good debate, however, when it turns to name calling and personal insults, to me, that person lacks the intelligence to say anything constructive.
resident lunatic in town. Goes by the name of "I hate Arabs"
Hes posted some pretty nasty stuff this morning, hes like the Western version of Rumpel.
Maybe we should introduce them, they would get on well.....

but as normal in any society, the minority spoil things for the rest of us.
I do enjoy QL and it helped me a lot when I first came here, and I intend to keep on enjoying it despite what I posted :)
It's always been like that brandylady, and it always will be. Unfortenately it drives a lot of people away from the site, or scares them off before they even join. You just have to learn to live with it.
but it will never end...its part of the community we live in real and virtual world....
