Chowk Staff Censorship of Masadi's Articles

Posted: Jul 31, 2008 Thu 03:16 am     Views: 222    Interacts: 9

Chowk Staff you have rejected my politie requests to open up a dialogue to uncover the damn non-reasons you have been censoring my articles. You refuse to talk, you refuse to understand civil discourse, and you continue to censor as if this site belongs to your mama.

Now, you have pushed my patience to its limits. Release all those articles and publish them one by one with due apologies to the author.....immediately and without delay, people here want to discuss those higher ideas, and take part in the big discourse and don't want to be hijacked by dimwits engrossed in petty squabbles like your kind of morons...

Tazeen writes " they editors have the right to deny any publication. THAT'S HOW IT WORKS..."

They certainly do not without explanation. The way they are censoring it and the articles they are publishing tells me that the criteria they are using are not only subjective but go against the preamble of their site's constitution in which the claim is made that "everyone is free to write" on this site.

The ediotors have no right whatsoever to use difference of opinion to make editorial decisions. If they do they are violating the requirements of their office. Gill, Sohail and Manto are in on this BS, and these other pygmies making big noise in the comments are just hiding their literary inadequacies becuase they cannot stand my well reasoned articles that bust the objects of their worship.

Hurricane bro, thanks for the support....

whether it is a website, webzine or a print publications, they editors have the right to deny any publication. THAT'S HOW IT WORKS.

they have rejected my articles as well but that does not mean we start waging a war. If you hate them so much, why would you crave acceptance in that group. Its a case of sour grapes where the writer is plain bitching about the editors and that too in bad taste.

Yaar Masadi,

this movement has taken a weird turn.

I guess we can't count on the subservient masses to rise up against the tyranny. Indeed, they shall most eagerly focus their efforts on knocking down the one that does try to rise up, instead of trying to end the repression.

However!

Unfortunately, this will start to look like "Masadi is whining" or "he wants his and his buddies articles published".

WHY?

Well, the so called folks that support the publication of your articles, or more importantly, a better editorial focus, have not risen up to the challenge.

The discussion started, a few carried it forward, and then it died. For chowk staff refused to participate.

Sad, but I think I will not waste my creative energies on this negative place much longer.

I suggest you start publishing your efforts on places like progressive.org or counterpunch.org.

This site is not an "editor dictatorship". Those freaks are servants of the members whose rights they are denying by interfering the free flow of ideas. Those who support this censorship/dictatorship are trying to hide their own inadequacies in the intellectual department by hiding behind BS

I think Tazeen has a point
Posted by Tazeen on Thursday July 31, 2008 03:49 am
ok this is a bit too much.
If editors do not want to publish you, no matter how great a writer you are, it is up to them.

why this vitriolic outburst?

Down with the miserable chowk staff and their supporters. Go to hell chowk staff. Go climb a damn pole, and leave things literary to those have at least a fifth grade level of comprehension and higher morals than those of a snail, you all are a disgrace to any kind of penmanship, a disgrace to humanity and a disgrace to all from India/Pakistan everywhere. You morons should be put on a boat and sent packing to live with pigs in their sty, there you can grovel in your dirt without affecting the members who want no part of your sh**
