Unfortunate

By: jasmine | Posted Jan 24, 2009 | General | 929 Views | (Updated Jan 24, 2009 05:43 PM)

Hi all:

Since yesterday, MouthShut.com has witnessed an unfortunate incident between two prominent members. What should have been sorted out by the two privately became a vitriolic accusation and counter-accusation in full public view. No brownie points to either of them for this.

Both members do have their valid reasons for their points-of-view but nothing, and I repeat nothing is bigger than the sanctity and equanimity of this site that gives everyone a right to express their opinions.

Also, I would use this space to request all of you not to indulge in any kind of groupism or ganging up. Please refrain from being party to any one warring member. Does not help matters.

MouthShut.com is your platform. If you ever find any issues that disturb or bother you, write to me jasmine@mouthshut.com or send me an M2M. I will try my best to come up with a best possible resolution.

Regards,

Jasmine Ahuja

Jasmine,

I agree with all the points u have raised. Like I told u once, your logical arguments win any situation hands down. The voice of logic. The voice of wisdom. The voice of peace. :)

Love,

Thanks for this post .....

Mouthshut deletes my post to appease some pseudo member who has so many fake IDs. Not fair. I will flood the lines on next dial the ceo with faisal.

Can we have some transparency on why one particular member has been allowed to make statements like Amrita is the cause of many members being disgruntled. What proof does he have? For everyone's record, the only time I picked up a fight and where MS intervened was when a member called SUYOG was harassing me. MS banned him after much investigation and he went around bad-mouthing me on blogs.

Now another member is accusing me of things that I have not done. Why is MS not banning him (this shahenshah/SRK member).

Please answer my question Jasmine. If you delete my post then please follow it up by deleting fake posts that praise this member.

I was travelling the last few days and missed the whole 'episode' and DPs. But have got the general idea.

First of all, thanks for posting this DP to diffuse the tension.

As advised by you I am not taking sides. But keeping quiet about it will not solve the problem. This unfortunate incident has created a lot of bad blood. MS administration needs to take appropriate action ASAP.

Thanks for taking prompt action as usual :) I hope such unfortunate incidents never happen again. Members like us who always promote a friendly atmosphere on MS feel disheartened when each and every action/post of ours comes under a scanner.

We do indulge in leg pulling among ourselves but have never hurt others. Diaries are a way of expressing ourselves and what we feel; they shud always be taken lightheartedly. What irks is that the people with whom we don’t interact start to harass us thru their comments and M2M’s?

People should know that there is always a limit to interaction with people.

Finding the truth is easier than finding truth in lies.
so be the judge without having prejudicial mind.
groupism takes place when jealousy takes place ,ms should never be a place for growing jealousy between writers,writing is a skill and it is the duty of ms staff to see that nothing personal is ever written,it will give room to unwanted episodes,so ms staff have responsiblity to shield and protect individual privacy,who so ever indulge in personal attack is criminal that is imp

Group ism, is every where, and we know that is Bad bad bad....
But To me MS Is Heaven on Earth, and I would like to see heaven.
Its very kind of you to intervene and take charge of the situation and duly to do the needful.
Thank you for your efforts and to the MS team.

My take on the subject matter is simple, such type of controversies bind and bond members better like FEVICOL. Basically I feel AMRITA & SAJITH are mature enough to shake hand and make up eventually at one of the future MS meets. But my suggestion of MENTORS, MODERATORS, OR PEERS still holds good. MS needs to be self regulated platform....Read More

I wasn't aware that anything of this type had happened on MS.

From the title of your DP, I thought u were referring to Sajid Khan and Ashutosh Gowarikar!

I hope that the warring members make up sooner than later.
