1. Be grateful for all the hard work and dedication a small group of devoted people have put into resurrecting this forum for all of us.
2. Clearly, the previous ways of management, and the mayhem by the members, is unsustainable, and if carried over, will inevitably lead to the premature death of this forum too.
3. Like many of us here, I decided to participate after being asked to do so, in a limited capacity, because I am convinced that the new management is trying to turn over a new leaf and put this nascent forum on a more durable foundation.
4. However, a significant portion of the membership is up to its old self-destructive ways, and that will drag this forum into oblivion just like it did the previous one.
5. For anyone who regards themselves as saner than the rest of the lunatics, please help the management in achieving their very difficult goals, especially if one claims to be a well-wisher of Pakistan, and by extension, this microcosm of it.
6. Do NOT engage in tit-for-tat responses that are repetitive, ill-thought and provocative, no matter how juvenile or intentionally offensive posts are. Report them, and trust the management to do what is right.
7. Respect the view points of others if you wish to have others respect yours in return.
8. Do NOT celebrate the deaths of soldiers of ANY nation who are doing their assigned duties. They are honorable professionals willing to lay down their lives for their respective nations. Politics, and the results thereof, is NOT their fault.
8. Lamenting the death of your own children does not mean much if you celebrate the murder and mutilation of the mothers and sisters of what your perceive to be your enemies. Hypocrisy NEVER stands.
9. Be FAIR and never SELECTIVE in your outrage. Again, hypocrisy NEVER achieves much.
10. We all will be able to judge whether we, as a community, deserve to survive, or not, as we have just seen in the old PDF.
11. Choose wisely, for there will likely not be a third chance.
If the above falls on deaf ears and blind eyes, as it did before, I will revert to my slumber mode easily.
Over and Out.
