Don't be surprised when the flood of slander lawsuits starts (it has started but not yet heard widely)...this is because slander is written negative/defaming statement communicated to a third party(ies) (e.g. Post on FB) about someone else. Note that the statement has to be false for it to be slander but therein lies the lawsuit.

Moral...post at your own risk.

Frankly i've read enough threats on this forum to suspect that if the identities where known someone would make a similar report to the authorities...


I agree with your observations.

So, simply question. Was the court right to fine her? On the one hand I think it's pretty harsh, on the other it makes a damn good deterrent doesn't it.

A 13 yr old kid living in Karama has more influence in this country than you. LOL But I got better things to do than be a vengefull little moron like the person in the OP or you by wasting my time making threats or calling the coppers.


Are you joking munchkin? Are you under the impression that DF is educational? Well I never, that explains a lot!
You seem to forget that you are a Pakistani living in Dubai. No matter for how long and how well you speak the language, break the law and you are history.
I never claimed to have any influence here, and if I remember rightly I never threatened you with anybody. What I did was ask other dfers their opinion on someone living with their Filipino girl friend illegally. It was most amusing to read the replies which were mostly about imprisonment. I said I would ask my friend what he thought :D I have to say it was well worth the weeks ban I received. I haven't enjoyed myself so much since I can't remember when.
If I wanted vengence for you cross posting my posts, I could have got it munchkin, have no doubt. All I did was cross post yours in return. You only have yourself to blame!

I suggest you ask him about the consequences of slandering someone on an open forum.

Hmm, should BM be glad she shot her mouth off again?


You should have done and I would have had taken the great pleasure in telling you how wrong you were. You see there were no PM's or email involved. It was good old word of mouth. :D
What I did was cross post DDS posts from expat.com, just like he did to me first! LOL. Do you really think I'm bothered about what a Pakistani taxi driver thinks about me. Do give me some credit.

Like I said wind bag is still under the delusion she is something in this country. Good for her, meanwhile I shiver in my boots waiting for the wrath of windbag to strike to me or more likely more hot air !

Here is a fitting poem I came across by Francis Duggan very aptly named Sir Windbag. Its frightening how perfect he describes our resident windbag ! Enjoy.

The big bloke with the loud voice puffs on his fat cigar
As he tells us all of how great he is down at the local bar
He talks about his business success his beautiful young wife and young family
And his three most used words not hard to guess are I, Myself and Me.

He has been told by more than one that he is over the top
And that to his over emphasis on self they would like him to stop
But he does not listen to their advice he just waffles away
Narcissism is like an incurable disease some have been known to say.

He tells us all of how marvellous he is Sir Windbag his nickname
In his own mind at least he feels he has great wealth and fame
And though others of him quickly tire few wish to hear him brag
And some people have an apt nickname and his is Sir Windbag.

The big bloke with the loud voice boasts of his brand new car
And of his job promotion and house extension down at the local public bar
But of him people quickly tire they find him quite a bore
You hear some say no not again we've heard that one before.

Oh really? For your reference...

What more is there to gain beyond informing her that it came across as insensitive? She could have hoped that her friend would remove the FB status, and if she didn't, then she has the option to un-friend her.

Basically, with ridiculous laws like this, people can trap others into making insults in order to get them charged and fined. Sounds great for emotionally unintelligent and vindictive people. If this trend continues, perhaps they will make a new courthouse called "The Court for Insults". Hey, it will be a great initiative for employing more Emiratis.


There speaks the person who works in the background of DF by sending PMs to get people banned, because she doesn't like what they post.

So you were conspiring to obtain info on someone behind the scenes by word of mouth - it is the same thing as doing it by PM or email. Even if someone gave that info to you unsolicited, you are the one who had the choice to use it or not. What you did was different than what DDS did to you, and you know it. You were horribly vindictive and you don't have the guts to acknowledge that what you did was wrong.

Look at how you tried to one-up DDS by threatening his off-forum life BM - if someone tries to one-up you in revenge it could very well end up just like this news article. All because people can't behave on the internet and think they are justified in damaging someone's offline life.

So are you insinuating that I'm a lesbian who participates in oral s.ex with women?

Thanks for the demonstration of insults and slander just because you don't like me, it is very apt for the topic of this thread.

Seriously, between the anti- religious and ethnic propagandists, tailgating insulters, fluff-mongers, and emotionally unintelligent vindictive people - some of which are overlapping - why do I remain on this forum? For all I know some of these haters could try to harm my off-forum life judging by their unethical behaviour on this forum. I'm done.

I'll repeat myself as I see you are struggling with the written word.
If I'd intended you any harm I wouldn't have posted it on an internet forum I would have just gone and done it.
According to your own posts you have now made yourself all legal, so what have you got to worry about?
Let that to be a lesson to you, gobsh1te, about what you post on forums. Your lack of marital status, the nationality of your bird and how you intend to use her to get into some unsuspecting country (obviously because they wouldn't want you for you) and your car registration aren't wise.
Sometimes your mouth just takes off with you munckin. It wouldn't be so bad if you were a bit original but your are copying the most unsavoury characters and making yourself look more of a tosser than usual.

I cross posted his posts, that's what I did. he cross posted my posts, first.
How is that different? It's not my problem if his posts were more informative than mine :D
No I don't admit I was wrong to do it. I thought it was hilarious and still do. LOL

I've no idea. Why are you asking anyone that?

I don't see any haters around here, just people who are full of themselves.

The taxi driver will miss you.
