you are refering to these two that are being subjected to hate mail. I think vinit and himani are in the same boat. it is bias in my opinion when you are trying to make general statement for this type of issue. in short it was was balanced so i was just correcting you. i don't support any particular contestant and just give my views on each situation without picking any sides

I dont know if you read my mails, it would be difficult for you to find a mail where I attacked any singer/familywala.
Be it Himani or Vinit....
Any attack is condemned against any one.

Tina:

The topic appears to be on regional attacks. It is my recollection that
first Hema was viciously attacked in this forum for being from being from
the South and now Debo is being attacked for getting support from NE
INDIA.

While I am sure that there have been many criticisms of both vineet and
Himani, I don't think anyone is upset about the support they get from UP/
Bihar or Punjab/NCR whatever.

So, I don't think that Sinhaji did make a biased posting here. Not that I
am presuming to speak for him but regardless of your opinion, please
join us in comdemning these almost racist attacks!

I see with tremendous surprise no. of newbies openly attacking participants A, B or C.
I believe one of the rule of the forums is not to openly wage war against participants/mentor.
I remember distinctly, in Dec.some forum members attacked Hema in the name of diction, not realising that he is only 18 yrs old, not born in Hindi belt. One of the major reasons for such attacks was that Hema used to get a no. of greens /thumbs up from judges.
So inorder to put him down it was necc. to attack at some place like diction etc.
Now I see no. of members (mostly newbie) attacking Debojeet, because he is peaking, also he is getting massive votes.
No. of hate threads are opened by newbies against him, because they know that come what may they can't change the pattern of voting, hence the vitriolage.
I often feel miffed that such racial threads ae allowed to persist for a good time, whic h means that it is possible to attack & get away.
Suh inane mails are biggest reasons why people like Kishore Bhakta, musicbuff, musicpulse write so less.
So plz for God's sake if you have to support a participant open a thread in his favour but stop making racist/regional comments, already there is enough venom in the forum.
Moderators this post is also for all of you.

👏...i have seen a lot of examples of this today actually (no names given)...hopefully we can all be mature and write in support of whoever we want without having to put up with immature insults being hurled at us...this forum is meant to be fun 😊

Yes, we agree that negative propaganda and derogatory posts are no good. And, we are doing all that we can to curb them.

But, we should have cooperation from members as well.

I have seen some relatively harmless topics like "Vinit/Debo/Hema is the best" turn into battlegrounds with one or two negative comments from some people who do not agree.

I see people calling contestants names or spreading rumours such as ___ is gay, ____ is pregnant, ___'s father's funeral fund, ___ is a stupid Malayalee, etc. These may be jokes to some, but it can be very very hurtful and offensive to fans. This contributes to several fights and profane language in the first place.

We dont want to oppress your freedom of speech or your opinions. But, there are better ways to disagree or even make jokes.

Please think about it. It is a request.

As for the regional posts - they are derogatory and will NOT be tolerated. Please report such posts immediately to the forum mods: Jem, Bhaskar or to any GM who is online, we will take care of the post AND member immediately.

Hello Sinhaji,

I appreciate your efforts in making this post. Its very true that people should stop making racist and regional comments. I totally agree with you. But I would like your support in another related area. The unfair comments being made about contestants family, personal life and character.

People are always making unfounded accusations against the character of contestants and mentors. This is really wrong !!!!! First of all, it's a music competition… the private life of people is not the basis for judgement of their singing. Secondly, the members of this forum who are making these comments have no proof whatsoever and they are maligning the image of young kids…

Just a small example… First everyone was talking about Himani being Vinit's "love"… Why? Just because the camera is making her a scapegoat and keeps zooming in on her whenever this stupid story is told ?? Today I read a post where someone was implying that Himani was having an affair with her mentor ?? That was really the LIMIT for me !!!!! Talk about hitting below the belt !!!! What gives people the right to malign Himani's image like this ??? I could go on and on about the amount of indecent things people are writing about Himani.

I would really like your opinion on this Mr. Sinha !!!

Thankyou.

Dear sheisthebest

Ideally this shouldn't happen, we have to understand that we need to be tolerant of each other choices.
An incidence which hurts you deep should be reported to modr. Im sure they will take action.

regards

i totally agree. however i must mention that the creators of the show, some contestants and their mentors (esp vinit and HR) are fuelling such rumors. (affair bten himani and AS was news to me though). in such instances people on this forum cannot be blamed if they make fun of such people.

i forgot to mention that we should avoid regionalistic remarks and condemn people like AS who raise such issues (esp when it suits them)

It is a sorry state of affairs that those people ( mentors & Zee)who should have highest standard of ethics, have done everything to divide us & make us fight.
What was the need to openly discuss pyar/topi etc.
And why Zee openly discusses breakup of votes.....??
