Much to the glee of some people, it appears that our good friend Zolfali has been blocked. I don’t know the specific reasons that led to him being blocked, but I as assume it had something to do with his attacks on various users. Fair enough. Personally, I agreed with some of his posts, and I disagreed with some, especially those that contained personal attacks. But if personal attacks are the reason why someone gets blocked on this site, why isn’t the policy applied fairly across the board? Why do some have a blank check to attack people with impunity, and some don’t? Case in point: this blog . I posted a comment related to subject of the blog about Shah’s regime and the revolution. In return, I was attacked by two users, and called the following names: anus observer, maggot, illiterate, human trash, BiBi basiji, traitor, sick, parasitic, jobless, and ignoramus. With the exception of the first profanity, the rest were written by P_J, a character who does not contribute to the site in any way. At least Zolfali contributed to the site by posting articles and blogs. This character hasn’t posted anything on this site—at least not in years-- with the exception of the profanities hurled at me. Again, so that we are clear, I had posted a general comment about the Shah, without attacking, or even mentioning, any users. But I assume the profanities and personal attacks against me are justified because these users are more ideologically aligned with the site’s owner / editor? That would be my guess. But the burning question to you, JJ, is this: if you’re now blocking people for personal attacks, why isn’t P_J blocked? And before you say I responded to him, of course I did. And that’s the problem with this site. Lunatics are allowed to insult people and illicit an in-kind response and drag the conversation to the gutter. If this guy was blocked after he posted his first attack comment the blog wouldn’t have gone into the gutter like it did.
Another case in point is the fake troll account that posts as M. Saadat Noori, along with at least a half dozen other usernames, including but not limited to: Sokhanan-e Mozoon, Laghafiroozi, All-Iranians, Shakila, Faryadiranian, Friendly, etc., and attacks people with vulgarity anytime anyone questions his phony credentials and exposes his fake usernames, which is I guess my sin. The blog photo above is from this blog . As you can see, I wasn’t even on the thread, and I was attacked by this troll with vulgarity. But not only the Saadat Noori account is allowed to attack everyone, his various fake usernames actually get rewarded by constantly being featured on the first page.
So, sorry JJ. I for one do not believe you have any interest in impartiality and an even handed moderation of this site. You cave in to the mob mentality of your likeminded lynch mob and block people that the lynch mob doesn’t like, and that’s sad. If I’m wrong please have the courage to come on this blog and correct me.
You can use profanity on the headlines of the blogs, inside the blogs, outside of the blogs, on the front page, and everywhere else and you can get away with it without getting warned, boycotted, admonished, deleted, blocked by sar dabir JJ under one and only one condition- that's - you reject Trump, you side with IRI regime, you side with NIAC, you side with Obama, and most importantly you adhere to the principles of the Islamic Revolution of 1979 and its leader Khomeini which JJ followed and is still following!!! As long as you satisfy that condition, you can take your pants down and take a nasty, stinky, and steamy dump on the front page of this site and Sar Dabir is going to pretend it's gollab of kashan made from Moo-Ham-Heady rose or ruse for that matter!!!
If he is blocked its an improvement to this site! Chilidsh, obnoxious, rude, disgusting , trash class are just handful of words describing that character.
MRX - That's not the point though. The point is if that user is getting blocked, why aren't others who display the same behavior?
The best part was Ferferi’s mask has finally fallen. His “motherfucker” comment and allowing the personal attack on you has shown his true colours and destroyed any credibility or pretence of dignity or high mindedness.
I agree Fozolie jan. I am amazed at the level of hatred that he--and other characters have toward Fred. The guy posted blogs. You don't like them, don't read them. Or better yet, post your own blogs. The flimsiest excuse now is that he posted too many blogs! But I have never heard Faramarz, or anyone else for that matter, complain about Doppleganger / Antsi/ Minimalist, etc. spamming the site with videos. The guy has posted three videos in less than 24 hours. I sure as hell won't complain. I don't watch them, but I think people should be free to post whatever they want so long as they don't attack others. It's all an excuse. It goes back to the Iranian culture of intolerance of opposing views. That's why Iran is the shithole that it has become.
A_P are you talking about the same Saadat Noori that I know? He only posts about poetry and cultural history. I don't get it. I never saw vulgarity or anything remotely like that from him.
As for blocking a member, I am a firm believer of the tradition of editorial rules and policy [non existent here!] so if JJ blocked someone, it's part of general inconsistency here. But that's okay with me. I have JJ in my 'ignore' list most of the time anyway!
Lol. Simply brilliant: “I have JJ in my 'ignore' list most of the time anyway!”
Benross. That's his "main" account. The rest are the one designed to leave him congratulatory comments on the main username blog, and attack anyone who questions him in any way. Plus, I don't even believe that this "Saadat Noori" guy is even real. The only record of him online shows that he was a veterinarian who is now well above 90. His Avatar photo is also about 40 years old. I think it may be a family member posting under his name. In any event, if you want to see his real character leave a comment on one of his blogs and ask him politely to tell you what university he graduated from, when, and with what degree. You'll see the result right away. The guy is obnoxious. You can ask Fozolie. He had posted a blog about him and I brought up the fact that he uses multiple usernames. Immediately the attacks started by various usernames. Fozolie would block one and another would show up. He has an endless supply. Finally his main username showed up complaining why the other usernames were being blocked. :-))))
Oh you are the observer not I. I have to give it to you!
I was baffled since I learned the despicable existence of multiple user names (back in Iranian.com time) that how these people can live with themselves with this level of low self esteem.
Think about it this way Ben. Have you ever noticed that Saadat Noori's blogs get 8-9 thumbs ups the minute they're posted?!! On another note, if this is actually a man in his 80s or 90s who is doing this, it is pretty sad that he lacks such low esteem, and is son insecure that he has to create more than a half dozen fake usernames to congratulate himself.
Is that really him? Funny...
