Hey All,
I have been a silent reader. Stalker is the better word. I have been stalking JA forum right since the beginning. I came here because of all the fun, masti, TP, some knowledge sharing and some incredible write ups. This forum used to be one of the best.
Of late, to be specific after Sujamal track, this forum has turned into a WWF ring. Jodha fans Vs Jalal Fans. There is a constant war. I have noticed a pattern. And I wanted to share it with all of you. That's the sole reason of my post.
Jalal fans want to see Jalal as a man's man. Not a pussy whipped chocolate hero whose main aim is to keep his Jodha happy. Hence they post something somewhere forgetting that it's the creative who are to be blamed. This raises hackles of Jodha fan club. Because some Jalal fan somewhere forgets that as Jalal needn't be weak for Jodha to be great, Jodha needn't be called names to vent frustration out about Jalal. But as it happens, some body posts something and lo and behold!! Jodha fan club becomes defensive. They start defending Jodha. The more they defend Jodha, Jalal fans become more aggressive. And the cycle continues.
The same is for Jodha fans. Somebody says something about Jodha which even to a neutral bystander seems unfair to Jalal. And the shoe drops. The war continues.
The best part is sometimes, during the discussion, in saccharine sweet language, people turn nasty. And under the name of healthy discussion, taunting, name calling, cursing and general fishwife sort of fighting happens. Jodha fans feel forum rules are bent for Jalal fans and Jalal fans feel only their posts are closed by DT. And hence the drama continues.
Guys, bashing happened when some two pence leader in Bengal gave an appalling statement about opposition female candidates. Bashing happened when our true national leaders were defamed by some random foreign author. Bashing happens when some hot headed young politician defames the other religions just for the sake of garnering votes. What goes on here is not bashing. No matter from which side. But sadly, the latest fashion in this forum is when one doesn't agree with other's view, it is termed as bashing or spreading negativity.
Please let me clarify one thing. This is the sole post I intend to make. However I want people to express their opinions here. Anybody can report this thread and get it shut down. I would just sleep easier tonight for having said something weighing on my mind for last few days.
This forum used to be a really rocking one. Peaceful yet fun. I for one am really sad to see it's current state.
Lastly, congratulation to JA DT team. The effort they must be spending to monitor the forum must be stupendous.
