To all the members & the moderators,
It is with an extremely heavy heart that I am initiating this thread. I joined DFI not just because it was an Indian military forum & I am an Indian, but because I found this forum to be different from many other defence forum on the net. The quality of posts & discussions that used to take place on this forum was of the very highest order. There was hardly any name calling, any use of profanity or any personal attacks done by the members. We chose to gladly disagree with one another & yet remained dignified.
But off-late I am witnessing a rather sad development on this forum. The very things that I liked about the members of this forum seems to be vanishing with every passing day. This forum seems to be turning itself into a "troll supermarket". The quality of posts that I am seeing off-late are nowhere near the quality that was there on this forum earlier. I am sorry to say it like this, but it is becoming just like the Pakistani forums that are there on the world wide web. I do not mean to sound hateful towards our Pakistani brethren, they are most welcome to join here & share their views with us & disagree with us.
There are many members who has joined recently who I think knows nothing but to abuse others & they hail from all nations that are represented on this forum & not any particular one. I also see people abusing other's religion & even family members at times.
This tread is just my appeal to all the members & moderators of DFI to lift the standard of debate on this forum & not bring it down. I will never ask the moderators to ban those members or delete their posts as I am myself a staunch supporter of freedom of speech of every individual. But it is my earnest appeal to all my fellow members to post concrete opinion & not just one liners or hateful stuffs.
I am sure good sense will prevail on all our parts & DFI will become the forum that we all want it to be.
Respectfully,
Black Eagle
