Apparently, you are inhaling in deeply the second hand smoke of whatever this guy was smoking!
Reputation of the forum? We are Pakistanis. Since when do we care about our reputation? Damn the torpedoes and full speed ahead!
Yes, certainly, but we are not the only one around -- reputation means a lot -- Some people suggest that the "space" that is the internet is now being limited by snooping by a variety of entities, and yet the opposite is happening, that is to say, we find more and more push back, that's the way it is with "Liberty" - once it is internalized, it's not going to be restricted -- and that is the same with ideas that society must deal with -- sure you can close down a thread, but the idea simply pops back up, until it is allowed to be exhaustively discussed, allowed to play the cathartic role it must play.
Some people have a very limited view of what can be achieved because they have not seen what has already been achieved - if you look back at the idea that Hyperion expressed, it's spot on, I remember what was done to a thread named "Madineh Chaleao" - it met with a lot of resistance under the justification that the title was a naat, yet look at the responses, it was like a flood gate that collapses, people our forum members experienced what the thread was about, and it was a cathartic thread, it allowed our members to come out of the closed, so to speak --
This forum, and I do my best to read at least a couple of lines of each thread, has allowed members to become familiar with ideas and people, that I don't think the admin ever thought, could be achievable - and it's the kind of medium that if you stand still, you are going backwards.
