I don't know if i can post this topic, since it is related to this forum, felt i should.


The mods can close it if they want.

Just want to set a few things right.

I got an abusive PM from someone a couple of days ago.

I really don't know why. Am not going to post it here.

I did send it to the mod and did not get any reply. as expected.

I am no way connected to anyone on the forum or using a MID.

Dabulls and me are not the same person, though someone is under a delusion about it. We do not live in the same country forget being in the same continent.

Someone made a new ID and pretended it was me and went on a abusing spree.

If writing what one feels and sees and hears on a show on this forum is wrong and deserves abuses of the vilest kind, where is the freedom of speech?

It neither exists in India or on this forum.

people are not allowed to criticise or say a negative comment about any of the singers or judges or host or anything.

Why not have a permanent appreciation thread for the whole forum?😳

A word of criticism and we have to put up with abuses which a normal person would cringe to utter in private ,leave alone writing it on a public forum.

It is hurtful and demeaning to the person it is intended for and also to the person writing it. So much hate and anger does not augur well for anyone.😭😭😭

Hope we can soon have a forum where people can write freely and criticism can be taken sportingly and humour of any kind can be taken in the right spirit.

Please ignore this post if you feel abusive.

Peace out.😊



Firstly, i love your signature! 😃 It's one of my favorite quotes about music.I totally agree with you about the need for free speech (for everyone, not just the people that one may agree with.) I think some people forget that, at the end of the day, we are just discussing a tv show. Most of us probably don't know these singers personally and these singers probably are too busy performing and making a niche for themselves in the industry to worry about what is posted here. Sometimes, people take these shows so seriously and write anything against a contestant they don't like or they pick a favorite and personally attack other singers or forum members. If you like a singer, that's great, post about how awesome they are. If you dislike a singer and have to share that feeling, remember that they have fans here and if you have to critizize, try not to put them down. It's ok to say you don't like something but remember most likely someone else loves what you don't so go easy.

Thanks MAM for this topic...As I have left this section...But seeing this topic I wanted to say something..

Appreciate your, JT Veer ji and Tulips posts. I am so sorry along with you all Mohini , VJ and Ravjot has been attacked-bashed too..😳
MAM and I are not same people with MID...I do not have any other ids...I am not coward where I have to create MID to write candidly.. I have been IF member since 2005..Its been 7+ yrs and nothing ever has make me leave IF or will not do it just because someone has decided to threaten me..
I have been abused by these MIDs in past 2-3 yrs in II and SRGMP sections and do not know why or what I personally have done to them..I thought forum is for everyone to post their candid views..But I guess not..😳
A woman-Grand mother, mother does not deserve to be attacked by someone in this manner...VJ who is young enough to be my son has been called many names along with JT veerji too linking us in very bad way..I find these comments not only cruel, rude but very hurtful..
Not only I have been abused-attacked in this section by various topics-posts by creating some MIDs...Whoever it is pls stop..
Besides this topic I have received several abusive PMs & scrap with same language...Threatening me with death, childless...Deleting PMs or blocking those ID is not appreciated by these MIDs...
I dont get scared by bullies but for the forum decorum's sake I have decided to leave this section as there are young kids around...People dont feel like coming due to offensive language..
Lastly My request to mods-admin Vijay B or Priya.nair is to have a fix in the system that as soon as MID is created it links to the orig id...Once MID is banned orig ID must be treated with strictness..
Why should good members have to suffer due to someone out there who is just spending time spewing poison in harassing innocent people..
I am a music lover and I support talent..No one is related to me..I cant write anyone's future or can ruin anyone's furture..
Finally I demand an apology from whoever this person is for making my life hell and others by abusing in the worst way possible...If not than pls leave me alone...I have nothing against anyone and I want to be left alone.
Thanks MAM again for the topic..Appreciate everyone's support..
Mods pls keep the topic open and hope Vijay B reads it too..

I remember reading utter filth once directed against Varsha and having reported it and also having responded to it knowing how futile the exercise. But I did it because it was sheer filth and venom and I really needed to vent out my feelings.
Pl music muse and varsha and the others disregard these messages from sick minds and the awful PMs though I know how terrible the feeling is and continue writing. I for one look forward to reading your posts and sharing my views with you all.
Take care
Padma

Thank you all a lot for writing on this thread and taking a strong resolve to do what is right by everyone and freely express you views and ideas.

I was very apprehensive about opening this thread, but felt strongly about what has been happening and am glad i did it.

I almost did leave the forum to maintain peace. seeing the overwhelming support for free speech, am back😆

For me this has been a memorable season till now and am sure, its the same for a lot of people.Expressing myself about this season gives me great joy and the credit goes to the whole team of SRGMP, incl the singers and the forum to express myself.😊

This is called emotional abuse. It hurts people the worst. Some people may be very sensitive to criticism and end up with their own Freedom to curse.

OMG!! This is shocking!!
MAM, am really sorry that you, Varsha Di, Tulip and many others had to go through this! 😒
Its extremely sad to see people resorting to such tactics just cos someone is against their favorites! I don't think any of us are so influential that we can change the channel's decision as to who the winner should be so this kind of abuse is pointless and only hurts the people involved! We are simply music lovers who are expressing their opinions based on our feelings and that's it.
Folks, continue sharing your opinions and don't give up ... will only encourage these guys further ... the rest of us are on your side so keep writing!!!

Now a days I stay away from the forum. Though music still runs in my vein there are several reasons behind this.

Till some time back I used to be moderator, but since I was not doing my job actively it was wrong foro me to continue .

Over last few years I saw this forum going down drain, one of the biggest reasons, many like minded people have left the forum , battered by on line war and abuses.

I myself received many PM and abuses while being a moderator, the thing is we have a very active life out there in the field. There fore it becomes important that if we come across abusive posts or some one creating nuisance we block the IP there and then, this is not possible as moderator , unless you are a global mod even then your hands are tied, filthy members can get away, only thing they have to do is create a new e mail ID.

We need tough stringent action on those unleashing terror. This is also a form of bullying , just because a wild idiot is out there with free time and inter net connection.

I just hope good sense prevails and every one is treated with respect, after all one life is too much to be wasted on hate.

Even it takes GM to get to banning the MID or block IP addresses...These smart alecs know how to manipulate IP addresses..
Also there should be a fix in a system as soon as a a newbie is popped up system tries to find if it is connected to any orig id especially the offensive MIDs..Both Orig and MID should be banned IMHO..
Last 2-3 yrs have been horrible with the offensive-abusive and profaine language..
NEways hope it does not continue and music lover can still post with peace..
