Priya, I am sorry I have offended . You are the last person I would want to offend in this forum. But, yes this is my perspective. I do feel their is bias. But, if you feel that's not the case then there is really not much for me to do.
I am only trying to give a perspective which may not go with majority opinion. Yes, sometimes you take stands on things because of the true justice of it. It happens to me and I am not sure if it happens for others.
Eventhough, I'm not a Debo fan, I have defended him on many occasions. I am sure there are many people who can attest to that. That's the way I am.
Ranig, first of all, I am not offended. Please do not think that you need to apologise for speaking your mind out. This is a forum intended for all to express their thoughts and both you and I have an equal right to state our views.
In your earlier post, you made a comment that you expected some people to post NASTY about HR, and their thoughts echo their character.
I merely commented that simply because one does not like HR and makes a comment on an HR post, either in satire, mocking or sarcasm, it does not automatically mean that the person is of low character or no character.
The forum is for all members, to come and express their views. We cannot always have people who come here and say nice and sweet words. Like in real life, the forum has members who have a strong opinion and will want to express it too. Their expressing their opinion cannot and is not a reflection of their character or their true self.
In the past, we have members raising comments on HR's personal traits and personal matters, which were an insult to any artiste. Those posts have almost disappeared now, except for a stray satirical comment. We cannot tell members that you will post only goody good stuff and you will not post any thing which is even remotely considered to be bad or nasty by his fans. A fans sentiments cannot be a benchmark of posts on any forum.
As long as there are posts which are without swear words or which are not insulting or attacking, they must be taken in the stride as being a part of a healthy discussion.

About those individuals who have a perspective against Hr. I don't think their evil. Please don't put words in my mouth. I have close friends who don't like him. But, I do think when we things come out of our mouthes or hands we are responsible for those statements and just what I am saying is a reflection of my character so is what others are saying. I did not mean it to attack anyone, but sometimes we need to be shown a mirror of what we are doing.
Ranig, we appreciate that you did not mean to attack anyone. My use of the expression Evil/ Devil and Angel was only an illustration/ example and not to be taken literally. All of us here are responsible for our statements, both you, me and every other poster on this thread. If someone does not like him, so be it. The world is full of people, some who like, some who dont and some who dont care either way. If other members dont mind that you are a HR fan, then you should equally be magnanimous about the fact they dont like HR. Lets just agree to disagree here.😊 We cant please all.

About others not likeing him for his music . That's fine. But if someone says something nice then isn't it a natural reaction to say something nice too. Or atleast I thought say.
I guess at the end of the day we have a different perspective on this.
No doubt ranig, if someone says something nice, we all chip in and say nice, good things. But as I said earlier on this thread or another, HR's publicity department is fantastic. One day, there is a sensational news, followed by a retraction the next. One reporter will write some article, in a couple of days time, another reporter will say that the news report is false. This is something thats not happening today, but happening for a long time. Did you not see that the other day, there was an article by soemone, headlines read "I do not love Himesh" while article was an interview of Himesh and no Tulsi in sight. Another article compared HR with SRK, and the contents had not a single word on SRK. Members are only commenting on that.

S. Priya , you are the last person I would offend and I may have done inadvertently. Sorry about that again.
If you all feel I have done wrong. I hope to think about this and do some self reflection on my part.
ranig, I am not offended, my dear, by your post. I respect you for your views.
Take an example where we stand on different sides of an issue and if I comment that your views are nasty and a reflection of your character, will you like it.
In a forum, everyone has an equal right of posting their views. As long as they adhere to forum rules and code of conduct, we allow members to post.
I refer you to Bhaskars post, and that is a fact that the Moderators have always been supportive and pro active when it comes to HR and those who do not like him have more often than not got the wrong end of the stick, than those who like him.
But we know that this forum is for all members, be it HR fans or those who do not enjoy his music.
Lastly, a reminder to all members.
This forum is for all members, be it HR fans or be it those who do not enjoy HR. Whatever our preference for music, we have come here because at the end of the day, we all enjoy MUSIC. That is one common factor which keeps our friendship going. Lets not hurt each other with our comments. Lets have some fun discussions, lets have some meaningful discussions, without attacking any artiste or member.
