I would argue that since you've taken the time to post on a public forum, you might at least want to ensure that people understand your point, otherwise you are wasting your time.
***My point is to tackle the problem at its root...
Is there a problem? You seem to be arguing either
a - there is no problem in Qatar
b - any problems that exist in Qatar are dwarfed by the problems that exist elsewhere, so we should ignore Qatar's problems and focus on the US/UK/elsewhere.
I agree that there are lots of problems elsewhere, but the topic isn't a general discussion on press freedom and government honesty, but is a discussion about Qatar and the DCPF.
***I feel disgusted by people who have the nerve to criticise our government for small issues and ommit criticising guilty governments...
So are you arguing for more press controls, to stop people voicing their opinion?
***Anyone reads this thread may have an inaccurate picture of how we feel about our government..
this thread is not right when you close your eyes on your own problems....
Sure, that's a risk in any media. If something is inaccurate you are free to provide evidence to the contrary to refute such claims.
***Whi is no one discussing accomplishments which our government has done for Gaza, Darfur, Lebanon and all successful peace efforts?
They did. On the Gaza, Darfur, Lebanon et al threads. This isn't one of them.
***This is why I reply to this note.
Okay, but I still question the relevance to the initial topic.
***I reply to this note to address the way and probably remind them of how they should be posting. Another reason, is to put things in the right context and not magnify the problem as is depicted.
QL has guidelines regarding how people should post. If you feel someone has breached then by all means report it, otherwise please don't presume to lecture people about how you feel they 'should' be posting.
***I advise you to read what DohaSteve posted first time on this thread. Please read it carefully once or twice.
I did. I found Doha Steve's arguments compelling. They were intelligent points, clearly presented, and backed up with specific examples. You would do well to follow his lead.
Let's move through this step by step:
