But Aarya, going by this logic, without any morals or ethics guiding the virtual world, the actions of virtual predators will be deemed acceptable. Is that really what you are arguing for? Just because it happens in the virtual world, does not mean that it does not have influence over real life - obviously the emotions and feelings will transfer over into the real world as well.

No, it doesn't need to be fought with others. If we assume that all of us have some sense of a moral standard (high for some and low for others), and we all sticky by that sense of morality, we can ensure that there will be at least level of morality and ethics that will guide us on our online journey. Nobody is deciding for you, but even if half the people that come online behave the same way they would out in the real world, there actions will be guided by at least some principles that will lead others in the right direction.

Oh regarding the scrap: har raat ki subah hoti hai. ;-)



This is where we differ, who will you follow and what direction is right? This is an assumption that all of us would have the same values and we all would march in the same directions (An Ideal Dream)!

The Internet is governed by rules and regulations, which is hidden in the fine prints of all sites. Every site that you are using for material/information purpose is under code of conduct or terms of us which does not value your ethics and morals.

Are you kidding me!?! You cannot be serious! So from now, every time I am going to mention someone who "edits their posts", you are going to flatter yourself into thinking that I am talking about you and only you? Believe it or not, you're not the first person to pull something like that on the forum, and I cannot help it that your guilty conscience allows you to believe that I am talking about you. So how about you get over yourself and move on?

My response was to the topic - if I wanted to talk about you, I would say it to your face. You are not important enough for me to sit here and plan indirect attacks for. But of course, I do realize that you do have this inherent tendency that allows you to believe that everything I say is somehow aimed at you. That is your problem, not mine, because really, I don't care what you think or what you have to say.

But let's get one thing straight - I don't play this indirect attacks game. If you have something to say to me, you say it to me. Otherwise, don't bother. As far as the writing style is concerned, just because you edited your posts out, BI, does not mean that you were not one of those who praised my writing style and my posts in the past. And now that same writing style is bothering you? Tsk, tsk.

And lastly, you ARE a hypocrite. You go around whining to mods and reporting people for indirectly talking about you without actually reading their conversations, and then you go around and do the same by throwing indirect comments at others. Your comments don't bother me, but please spare the rest of us this whole holier than thou attitude. And this time, I did call you a hypocrite - so report that.



and r u kidding me...what in the world made u think I will talk about you...I was talking about people with GOOD writing skills...got it😆...don't flatter yourself...u are a forum bully ...thats what u are...you called me a hypocrite...u r a bully...and everyone knows that...they may be scared to say that to ur face ...but thats what u are...😆...now u go report me...😆...u talk about making indirect comments ...when u r the one doing that all along...and u think people don't get it...everybody gets it...😆...

Aarya, in that case, no one should be following in my direction - I am the forum bully! 😆

On a more serious note, I will say that even if half of us choose the wrong direction, there is always a chance that half of them will choose the "right" direction - in that case, there will be at least some sense of balance. But of course you can go philosophical on me and debate over the "right" and "wrong" directions. However, I am somewhat of an idealist, so I will say that there are certain moral guidelines that we can all agree are heading towards the "right" direction.

@Bold: I agree. But up to which extent? There are somethings which are unacceptable no matter how you look at it. Don't you think crossing those limits cannot be justified by saying, "It's a matter of choice" ??



I agree Doe, There are 2 forces which govern any individual moral and ethical code of conduct, its either individual's own choice or rules of real or virtual world. Given its real or virtual world, it highly individual choice if they chose to follow actions classified as immoral and unethical or probably as crime. But that extent too is defined by each individual on its own so it's his choice how he defines his actions. I can be answerable for my behavior as individual not for others if they chose not to follow.

Rules of various virtual medium like IF are meant to keep everyone in limit so that it doesn't remain an individual choice anymore beyond rules limit. Someone having substantial power can question those who crossed that limit. But choice to follow or not follow those rules is again comes back to individual choice. At the end of day we fall into Individual choice bracket only.

Ajnu NEVER reports. NEVER. 😛 She chews members and mods equally, and then some more.

But then again she is a bully, and will gloat and have all believe that I was whipped. 😆

No, following IF rules or not are trivial things when compared to the broader picture. I understand you mentioned IF here just as an example..but what about other things? Like, people can use internet to promote many things which are unethical & harmful. I mean, no matter what the choice, we do know what unethical basically means.
& what about things like terrorism? For example, let's take Osama..in his will, he asked his children not to join al-Qaeda. Why did he do that? B'coz he knew he was at fault. Now, getting into terrorism was his choice, and if it really was about choices, he could have very well justified his cause of joining it, and could have encouraged his children to join it too.

What I mean to say is, everything has it's limits. Even a choice. Not everything can be justified by saying - it's my choice. There is a line you've got to draw, right?
