Yes, it does contradict the rules of good behaviour, hence the universal warning. If I was to react to every response then a lot of posts in here would automatically go into lockup - hardly useful to the spirit of debate.srirangan said:
This way, everyone gets the chance to modify their responses without having the thread go into the ice age.
My job is to make sure that you guys don't try and club each other all the time when its not necessary - "pi$$ing my pants" - is not something that has occurred to me to be a motivating factor in moderating these things.
I can quite happily wield a cudgel and lock down the post - but that will not serve any purpose except make viewing and response times awfully short.
Conversely, the thread can stay open as long as people modify the way they react to each other and the post gains a little more respectability.
I get Pakistani posters who say I give Indian posters too much slack, and then I get Indian posters who say I give the Pakistani's too much slack. In the last two days I had an Australian question the fact that I warned a poster on an anti-jewish statement, he reasoned that I should sin bin the poster immediately. So far it's only the Americans who have left me alone.

Re: THE FOOL HE WAS
When I posted this topic I didnt know ppl would take the SUBJETC as anti India act. I did not mean to insult India nor its army. I just used an old but popular cleche to describe a foolish act by a pilot. The whole purpose of the post was to bring in other such stories from different countries about different pilots, navy officer & land officers. I mentioned b4 in this thread that to isass that I didnt ment to insult any country and the pics I posted were just of Pak army's success in a war- Now we have only fought 3 wars and all of them with India, so how do I bring in pics of Pak army's success against some other country.
I am sorry boss...I'll try to avoid any thing that goes against the rulz and I will have no problem If you had to change the name of the SUBJECT better change it to "WHAT WAS HE THINKING" I think that wont bother Sri and other Indians.

No source for the story, next thing I'll come up with imaginary stories about PAK personnel. I think this must be deleted cause all this thread aims to do is to ridicule a country and its forces without any source or credibility.
gtg now .. my stupid comp is buggin me like shit .. i put 512mb ram and it still screws up.. argh i hate windows..

Srirangan... U need to come down to Karachi and look at this war trophy urself. Nothing else will convience you. So this story is not fake or ridicule or whatever u wish to call it. No source is needed cause this is a hardcore established fact.
By the way... here it is :smokingc:

And another link from an indian website

Actually, I read it as "fool" for someone who might have made a foolish decision. I certainly didn't see it as a slight in Indians. perhaps it's a perception thing.srirangan said:
In hindsight i see your point. Perhaps you could do what others have in the past - PM me if you think something has been overstepped, that way we can deal with it without having these things re-occur.
I can assure you, that if I considered it malicious, I would have locked it pretty quickly.
As it is there is now an expectation it will be renamed. (which hasn't happened) So once Saber gets back with to me (or another mod) with a socially acceptable title it will remain locked.

Thanks salman, after your links and photos I dnt think Srirangan has to come down here to Karachi. Thats enough proof.Salman78 said:
Thanks for posting the links before I could, I would have had to go through search engine again to find this. Anyways I think I found it on Indian website. Bharatrakshak may be.
Sorry sri for every thing but now you have got the proof.

Following link contains whole story to this incident. Along with Sikand's picture as POW. I think this would be enough proof for Srirangan. But every one should read it cause its interesting.
