Hi Everybody,
I have few comments on the last couple of messages from Osamah and Saleem
in their reply to Said AL-Araimi message.
"The summer of purple dishdashas discussion was enough."Osamah.
If we are going to stop talking about issues because we already talked
about them, then there is no point in joining the list. Every day more
people joining (as wellas leaving) the list. I subscribed last month and
have no idea of what wes going on in the summer. Again if the purple
dishdash is not the type of thing people would like to talk about, then
each just throw out your ideas for discussion. I agree that people should
be sensitive to others in their response. If the message is to be directed
to one person then it is better to use the personal e-mail and not to the
whole list.
>Saleem said,
>People who don't deserve the right to speak, start babbling about stuff
>they have no idea in.
>Al-Araimi, you're not just rude and impolite, you're ignorant too !
This is not the approperiate kind of answer that should be directed to Said
whither what he said was intentionally or not. If such thing has to be
said, you should send a private message to Said whose adress on the top of
his message. Sending such angrey message to the whole list is not good.
Another thing, that everybody has the right to speak openly. The right to
speak is not limited to certain class or type of people, but all. However,
each again should be considerate and sensitive to others when posting
anything on this list. One should appreciate the effort of those people who
make this list a medium for chating, free at no charge!.
I am not defending Said in particular but calling for a better use of this
resource of info that is shared by hundreds around the globe. Iwelcome your
valuable suggestions. Thanks, Rashid.
P.S. Tourism is such a good thing to talk about, so go for it!.
