Ignoring user posts

#1

Unread post by Biradar » Thu Jan 08, 2015 6:47 pm

Many of us find posts by particular, anti-Bohra individuals annoying. These few (perhaps one or two) are good at derailing all discussions, and display an intense hatred for the Bohras and Shia in general. Instead of having to read their tedious nonsense, the Forum provides mechanisms to ignore them. If you want to enable this, do the following:

- Go to "User Control Panel". It is on the left of the Forum header.
- Click on "Friends and Foes"
- Click on the "Manage Foes". It is the second option in the left sidebar.
- Add the name of the person you want to ignore, one to a line.

Thats it! You will now see a notification when the ignored person makes a post, but the actual text will be hidden. You can choose to view it, if you are so inclined, or just ignore. I only have one person on ignore. No need to name names.

Well, a good function for those too stupid to use the scroll button on the mouse. :wink:

Or for those for whom it is more important to show that they are ignoring something rather than simply just ignoring it. Which in a way implies that what is being shown to be ignored is actually causing a pain in the neck.

I don't understand what is wrong with najmi posts , his posts are wise, satirical and deep makes one think deeply and the alleged anti bohra stance of the Forum is also due to his credit. It also greatly eased my transition from bohra to "wahhhabi wannabe" . Progressive " bohras" fundamentally are anti bohra , anajmi is merely making this opposition fun. Incidently anajmi has the highest number of likes in this forum which means most people do like him to be here and do read his posts.

Have you seen the bohra chronicle paper? It makes ludicrous fun of the dai on front page even using highly objectionable cartoons for the dai, anajmi has not gone down to that level I guess.

You need approval from admin even more.
The fact youve started losing his favour must hurt your feelings terribly.

Instead of speaking out against him (and his comrades) people choose to bury their heads in the sand.
Everybody ignoring anajmi is exactly why this forum is almost empty.
People viewing the forum will think his views are representative and the norm.
Which is why most people think this website is run by wahhabis.

This naturally gives the kothar exactly what they need to discredit everything said here.
Its quite likely that anajmi is actually working for the kothar.

I know, which is why you threw a temper tantrum and made so many repetitive posts about how you are insignificantly ignoring me.

Why do you keep making insignificant and irrelevant posts? See, I can ignore your posts easily without any software aid. But as soon as I see your name, I know you have made an insignificant post and I need to always remind you of your insignificance.

I excuse your ignorance, friend khokawala. I have been following this forum for more than 15 years, even before it moved to this bulletin board format. Anajmi, was even then derailing every discussion, every thread, putting in his anti-bohra, anti-Shia nonsense into everything. Lately, I admit, he has calmed down somewhat.

The point is not about making fun. I am all about making fun, and not taking things too seriously. Anajmi is fundamentally against Shia beliefs, against the very people we base our faith on. He has called Maula Ali a drunk, praised Yazid and Muawiya, has insulted Imam Hussain, has ridiculed the imams and da'is. He won't stop there either. He has hounded and bullied people off this board, and once was banned from this board, and was only admitted when many of us pleaded with the Admin to bring him back.

I estimate, that about 90% of thoughtful people left because his bullying and nasty habits. It is time to speak up, ignore him and make sure he become a persona non grata. That way, the rest of us can focus on the topics at hand, and not have to deal with his constant derailments.

As far as Islam is concerned, none of the above actions are haraam. Believing in a hidden Imam while at the same time questioning the existence of Allah because of a thousand years of education makes you a kafir. If you claim that you are a shia, then you are wrong. You are a kafir.

Biradar,
Why inflate anajmi's already big ego and give him more importance than he deserves. You can ignore his posts if you don't want to read them. I agree that he is a nuisance and a master agent provocateur. He diverts and derails topic and when cornered he becomes flippant. His Islam stops after the Quran and Sunnah - a salafi/wahabi characteristic. But he is also incisive and intelligent and asks uncomfortable questions against received wisdom. He has been at the receiving end too when his received wisdom was questioned. The problem is that shias get very defensive when their beliefs are challenged. It is wrong to say that 90% have left because of him, that's giving him too much credit. People come and go for various reasons, depending on what they find interesting and what engages them. This forum accommodates everyone. The point is that the abdes who cannot stick around is not because they have been hounded out but because they could not defend the corrupt regime of the Dai and they could not defend their belief in the absentee Imam whom the Dais have made mockery of,
You're right let's focus on issue at hand, and ignore the people.

Actually, I don't give anajmi any credence at all. His views are ridiculous, and senseless. It has nothing to do with him questioning received wisdom. If that was the case, I would support him. The problem is really very simple: this is a Bohra forum. It is meant to discuss Bohra issues. If we have a Salafi nut job, derailing every discussion, acting like a bully, people will eventually stop participating.

I am happy to discuss, once in a while, the need for da'i, imam etc, and even question these concepts myself. However, if every thread degenerates into these same discussions, we make no progress. Everyone goes into a defensive mode, and the original point and topic is lost.

As to me explicitly mentioning that I am ignoring him. The point is the following: often, it is enough to just ignore someone and not say anything. However, sometimes one is forced to take a stance and make a statement about it, to show where one stands. Remaining silent does not serve the purpose. In addition, it encourages others to ignore him. Eventually, when people stop responding to him (from the fact that they stopped reading what he says), he will be shouting at windmills, a clown we tolerate, but everyone ignores.

Dear bro khokawala,

Do not bother yourself. I don't. How is it that after so much thrown at me, I am still around? No one on this forum has been hounded by more people and for longer than your's truly. But, I know whatever gets thrown at me is a bunch of lies. That is why it doesn't bother me. People who have run away, got the truth thrown in their faces, couldn't handle it and ran. Biradar himself has run plenty of times. But he should rest assured, he may want to ignore me, but I am not going to ignore him and his bull!!

Nowhere in bohra belief is there the notion of questioning the existence of allah.
The idea is so ridiculous that it could only come from a self-confessed yazid-loving kafir like you.

Would you be able to offer any examples of anajmis intelligence? Ofcourse not.
Because he is not intelligent and is always wrong, usually quite hilariously so:
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=10181&p=143928&hili ... rd#p143928

The problem is that shias get very defensive when their beliefs are challenged.
Quite rightly, afterall this is (supposedly) a shia forum is it not.

It is wrong to say that 90% have left because of him, that's giving him too much credit.
I agree, anajmi is not a threat to anyone who has joined.
However his constant anti-shia rantings do make the forum seem like it is run by wahhabis.
Which is what most people think about this place, and is why hardly anybody comes here.

This forum accommodates everyone.
As we can clearly see, this forum only accommodates about 20 people.
If it was accommodating everyone, it would have hundreds or even thousands of posters.

they could not defend their belief in the absentee Imam
A bohra forum does not need to defend the bohra belief in a hidden imam, as it is an article of faith.
People like you, who do not believe in the hidden imam, are clearly not bohra.
Therefore should join the sunni community instead, as this fundamental bohra doctrine is never going to change for you or anyone.

14 years of insignificance and irelevance! What an amazing accomplishment!
Congratulations anajmi!

Im astonished by all the remarkable things youve achieved.
Because I cant find a single thing what so ever.

Never mind anajmi, at least youve made a couple of wahhabi cyber buddies who youll never meet in real life.

Because you are an obsessive and fanatical wahhabi.

Perhaps you should leave then.
Im kidding anajmi, we all know you have nothing in your life except for this forum.

Only wahhabis like you constantly throw out lies.

Is that why you think you are so important, because you believe you can chase people away from a tiny internet forum?
