This Message is for all people from the Nepalese diaspora:
I had come to this forum less than a year ago...being told that Sajha is/was a respectable, enjoyable and intellectually stimulating site. This friend was not wrong. I have come to enjoy interaction with those I know and many more of whom I don't. I have, much more than not, found kindred spirits with whom I have had the opportunity to discuss, argue and continue educated arguments with the license to agree as well as disagree--- BUT, with dignity intact, and a certain level of trust.
San ji has been gracious enough to reply to my request for help... and I am indebted to him for having at least responded! There are a few who can tolerate vile, vulgar, verbal abuse but there are many more (males and females) who find it unpalatable. I was hoping that for the sake of those( males and females) who dislike such language, San would put out a warning, thus ensuring that sajha visitors do not get harrassed, attacked personally. I was also hoping that San's intervention in such vicious scenarios would encourage those females willing to participate in Sajha yet are afraid to do so solely, for the reason of such senseless and irrelevant, hateful posts.
However, after reading his notice for Bhedo and Sitara...I notice my request was in vain! The Bhedos of the world can and will be allowed to insult, attack and defame females. Female bashing will be tolerated and hate posts against anyone's religion will be given the benefit of doubt and cyber harrassment will be written off as a personal dispute, while a request for help will be written off as a propoganda! And yes, I am more than mildly disappointed.
And, with this note, I wish all Sajhaites a good year. To to those who have uploaded their personal information: I hope that Sajha/San has the ability to discourage attack on you with the same integrity he showed when he put up the Sajha Feature Site, coaxing all and sundry to form a closeknit, vibrant, and friendship-oriented Sajha community!
With all my positive energies to all!
PEACE OUT!!!
