erm, pot is calling the kettle black hahaha! Seriously, you need to review your recent posts.

It's 'complex'...

I don't mind being called judgmental here but I never assured that you are ignorant, I was only trying to let you know what we cinsider those who use sacasm to come on the top of the other.

I wouldn't worry about it mesheditor, FF has a problem with Dubai and it's people. You only need to read his story of Baboo in general to get the feel of things

I have absolutely no problem whatsoever with Dubai, or its people Mesheditor. I have repeatedly said that the UAE is a BEACON OF HOPE FOR THE WHOLE OF THE REGION!! There are problems there, but hopefully they will be sorted out and settled soon.
And I am glad that you say that you did not call me ignorant.
However, this is not what BM has been doing. For expressing my opinion, she has called me twisted, bitter, ignorant, and an Arab hater. And she continues on and on........
Allow me to point out that the Palestinian (Arab) versus the Israeli (Jew) issue is the one issue that divides and is central to the region. It is Arab/Muslim versus Israeli/Jew. Someone very thick would miss this point. And yet, people have no problem in coming here on Dubaiforums, a website in Islamic Arab Dubai, and voicing against the Muslims/Arabs and being virulently pro Israeli at the slightest and minutest provocation. This is being insensitive, to put it mildly. And BM is usually at the forefront of this assault .This very toxic behavior, day in and day out, has driven many good people away from this forum, including many Arab and UAE posters. Which is a shame.

Hence your obsessive support for Israel. And that too on DF

As Nuc said, you should go back and read your posts.

I am quite within my rights to support who I wish. I have no problem with either the Emiratis or the Israelis and I give credit where I feel credit is due. I don't believe I've ever bad mouthed the country I would like to consider my second home. I have and show total respect when I'm in Dubai.
On DF, a public forum, I'm free to say what I want.

If I had been a Muslim hater as you claim, I would have hardly decided to spend my money on a holiday home in Dubai. I love that country and the locals I've come across. That seems to be a thing you find hard to stomach.

Get over yourself FF.

I did. I didn't see much there to be excited about. Nor anything for the hilarity that Nuc showed. I am afraid that guy is a bit lost.

Of course you are! Then why get abusive towards me when I express my opinion?

BMreformed wrote:I have no problem with either the Emiratis or the Israelis and I give credit where I feel credit is due. I don't believe I've ever bad mouthed the country I would like to consider my second home

Now we are running into some rough terrain! Say in case of a hypothetical war between the UAE and Israel (not too far removed from the realms of possibilty even in real life) whose side should we be expecting to find you on?? Judging by what you say on other threads, of which there are many, and your great admiration for Israel and how it is dealing with its Arab/Palestinian neighbours, I can hazard a guess, and it wont be the UAE.

BMreformed wrote:On DF, a public forum, I'm free to say what I want

And so am I. Or do you want it to be one rule for you and another for me?

BMreformed wrote:Get over yourself FF.

I'd have to be a contortionist to do that. But I'll try.

Seriously FF, are you for real? Look back over this topic. You started belittling the Emiratis. I made no reference to you but told a little tale of a breakfast meet up with one of my local friends where he made a very nice gesture to some poor Pakistani who was cleaning the street.
You then proceeded to belittle that gesture in your usual sarcastic way and referred to me as the poster above.
Put this topic together with your effort in general and I think it's quite plain to see you have a major problem with Dubai and its people.

Do stop criticising everyone and take a look at yourself.

Let's not get too personal and live together. I look around and really thank god for being born a citizen of UAE. Therefore you would see me get a bit upset when people of weak personalities try to pick anything and capitalize on to show others that UAE is unfair etc. Being discriped as the bacon of hope a nice statement of the one of the posters above, But the next poster linked a mad video between a man from Saudi arabi being harsh on this bangalee counterpart as an intention to associate it to UAE. That kind of gusture is what I am talking about. Note that this forum carries Dubai name, we have all the rights to report it to be atleast banned from UAE users.

My one and only concern is if people posting adversely of Dubai are actually living among us, that is a disaster. Let's hope that Dubai gets rid of such people ASAP .. Thanks

How very perceptive of you! I often find sarcasm goes over the head when English isn't your first language. Yes, our friend FF has a touch of sarcasm in his posts. You aren't as silly as he thinks you are, are you?

Good luck to Dubai. It's not perfect, but where is?

Haha cool but my earlier post was commenting on FF post , but all good, probably you both are the same person ..

BMreformed wrote:You started belittling the Emiratis

Absolutely nothing of the sort!
Not one word of all that I have said on this thread is exaggerated. And the one in general.

It was all meant to educate and to inform; in particular someone who has been visiting the place, like yourself, but may not be aware of the realities under the surface. And that story in general was I thought a good illustrative anecdote. It is by no means a rare occurrence.
That video by Ray is from Saudi Arabia, in which a Saudi man is insulting the Bangladeshi guy by slapping and spitting on him, and then making him kiss his hand. That is ugly; and I've not heard anything like that about Dubai. People are held captive by their poverty from their home countries, but I would rather die than have this done to me! All that for being able to send a few bucks home to the waiting family. Sad.
The truth can be unpalatable sometimes, as I already said.
You've shot the messenger

Oh my dear sir! Good luck to you

So by insulting people you are aiming to educate and inform. You condescending little man!

No we aren't. FF is a Pakistani man and I'm a white English female.

BMreformed , cool just watch out , pakies in UK tend to hook up with white females and drag them into colored folks issues "hey FF just leave this white female alone .. she is no UK paki, indian , afro, etc .. "



BMreformed, I bit you know how it feels now to belong somewhere , those who belong somewhere won't even have to mention thier skin color ..



cheers

BM

Hey! You've found a new friend! You two may go well together. He seems to have the same thing about 'Pakis' as you. Little does he know
Have fun.
I think its about the right time for me to leave DF now.......

See ya, wouldn't want to be ya.

No, I don't have anything about pakies, you need to learn to read between the lines.

It's ok for people to insult others but as soon as they think they have been insulted, they throw Teddy out of the pram.

One shouldn't dish it out if one can't take it.
