Attention all Members

This is just a reminder to all members that even though the Arab-Israeli conflict is a very sensitive issue, the TIG discussion boards are a place for civil discussion. Unfortunately, due to the nature of many posts, several threads have had to be locked because of offensive discussions. While TIG embraces diversity, no personal insults or hatred will be tolerated. Several members have already received official warnings and are on the verge of suspension. I urge you all to read the guidelines and follow them closely.
Thank you for your consideration and we at Taking IT Global look forward to more of your constructive posts.

Thank You Very Much!
Some of those posts were sickening.
I'd like to add that TIG is a place that is supposed to bring us together.
We might not agree on certain political matters but that doesn't mean we can't at least be civil with each other.

I have already asked for examples of me using "unacceptable" language, and I was answered by a warning. I dont consider myself cursing or even using personal insults (maybe personal questions) , but please send me what is not OK in my language so I can prevent using it in the future.
I just wanted to say, that I saw a very little things that are "unacceptable" on those boards, and I consider those closings of posts as a limitation of freedom of speech. This is a very complicated issue, and I , personally, prefer that the participants of the conflict express their feelings on those boards and not by using violence in the streets.
have a nice and democratic day
Igor

The moderators have all the rights to dictate what rules and regulations to be applied to these threads. However, I ask the moderators for the sake of fairness to apply those rules on all the members with no exception.

Thank you for your messages. Members will receive answers to their questions via TIG messenger. In general, all warnings and suspensions occur due to violations of the guidelines and are given to every member who violates them. I ensure all members that the moderators' job of editing/deleting posts is not meant to restrict freedom of speech. Different opinions are welcomed on the TIG board as long as they are backed up and are not in the form of direct insults which are not tolerated under our guidelines.
Thank you,

One thing i want to clarify, especially for those who had recieved a warnig:
Discussing the palestininan issue is very complecated that we can't solve this way, zapping over it's demonsions( policy; religion; ithnic coflict....), but we can discuss things that belongs to humanitarian coserns like killing cevilians( which is defiitively refused), refugees and so on. Moreover, the background by which we are gathered here in this forum is to seek common points and make a chance in the way we see the world. But importing conflicts as they are in the media wouldn't be usefull but it might be distructive.
I hope that we will overstop that problem and i really appreciate TIG staff for the stratigy they are taking.
Greetigs!

I concur, TIG is a tool for expressing pertinet issues while at the same time respecting the views of others.
Anyone who promotes a culture of hatred should be kept aside. We need to understand that the world has been made a worse place to live in yet there is no any other choice.
Peace is the tool for development

Peace was and still the most wonderful and democratic solution for most of the world conflicts, but in the same time the world really got sick from the unfair and violent peace that some of the countries using. It is for the first time people are starving and dying with the name of peace.

How can this actually be something young TiG'ers' can write, i think it has something to do with their parents, they have to learn to hate somewhere, and well i don't think that it was these teens faults, but keep the insults away.. and Take It Global Positivly

yay! (claps hands) if we want peace in the rest of the world, a forum created for the intention of creating it is a horrible place to have conflict. i'm glad they were locked. once something becomes filled with hatred, it only tends to breed more.
go peace! -----sorry, i'm a bit hyper right now.

I could have quoted all members in this forum because all said a point worth noting. The most important thing is thaw we should not just argue or give points because we want to, but rather give points because we want a solution. If this guides us, I believe we shall do away with the hatred that fills our minds every time we think of talking. Remember PEACE should be the driving force to our encounter in TIG.
PEACE.
