So, let's see if I understand you correctly, comrade.

You have been monitoring, but not contributing. Your first contribution, today, is aimed at shutting down a dialogue.

Comrade, if that is all you can think of doing, then whose interests do you think you are going to end up serving?

If people behave like you have behaved, holding back, and then trying to suppress, then the only voices that will be heard in public are the very ones you don't like.

We have an aggressive, bourgeois media. Quite recently, first the Sunday Times, and then the City Press and the Sunday Independent, have all become practical clones of the M&G (which Martin Dolny calls the "Miserable and Grumpy").

On the other hand, we now have other media - new media of communication like this forum, for example.

I am sure that it is crucial to allow the maximum flow of _expression_ through these new media that have not yet been suffocated by the bourgeoisie.

It means that those who contribute must be honoured and respected, and not shut down for whatever reason. By all means express yourself, but please don't try to shut other people down.

For everybody's information: The moderation policy here is: No spam. Otherwise, we let the arguments rule.

Hi comrades, I have been monitoring your interactions throughout since from last year and early this year. What is interesting is to see how eager comrades are to engage on issues, however, it was also quit interesting how comrades display their shenanigan tendencies, dealing with petty issues and using derogative language on one another. For an example this allegation on the president, comrades again allow themselves to be dictated by the media to craft a debate for them. This matter is a non matter and there’re far better issues to deal with. The people affected have not even engaged on the matter if it is true, but comrades have already expressed opinion on it.

 

I think lets keep the character of this forum it is, let’s not vulgarise it cadres, lets try to be fundamental as much as we can I am not suggesting that we have to be stiff but lets not loose content.
