In my opinion, an ideal discussion is exchange of views. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and need not accept each other's views. A discussion should surely be enriching . In virtual sites, many a times we tend to read too much between the lines. Comments should be therefore direct. Even if one gets entangled in heated discussion, one has to know where to draw the line to maintain a cordial relationship in the forum. Unnecessary comments of course are most unwanted.

rambabu replied to the topic In your opinion what is an ideal discussion ?.
An ideal discussion forum , in which every opinion added by the member should pave the way to knowledge to the members. In this process there may be differences with regards to the opinions of the participant members. They should be treated as mere opinion of that particular member. by all means personal attacks should be avoided to keep the sanctity of the forum.

@Maverick
You must have noted that in my post I laid greater
emphasis on "able management" of spamming as Lopmudra was alluding to.If we are able to put in an
effective mechanism in this regard the rest would fall in right places.There would be no need to differentiate as old and new which is apparently unfair.Going by my experiences here I find new members are less guilty of spamming excepting a few. In fact the site has lately seen the entry of a few new members who are responsible,knowledgeable and restrained,making laudable contributions and I don't want to expose them to any unfair dispensation.

@ Usha, I agree that a discussion does lead to all angles of the person concerned and the gen next is far more exposed to every type of information but when it comes to these great personalities their positives overshadow the negatives and that's the way it should be. We have read some kind of negative about all great personalities be it Gandhi ji, Nehru, Netaji Bose or even Rabindranath Tagore for that matter. They are world famous figures and respected worldwide . By bringing forward the negative points (which is mostly done by media and we ,the believers, carry it forward) we somehow taint the image of our own leaders not only in front of the youngsters but also for the people from other countries.
I agree with your views , we all have some negative aspect in our personality and we cannot expect anyone to be perfect... As far as Gandhiji is concerned, the debate has always been there regarding some of his personal issues which need not be the focus and in no way does it take away the greatness of his personality because what he did was selfless and in the best interest of the nation !

Discussion involves exchange of meaningful ideas on a particular topic. An issue is viewed under different perspectives and it helps us to gain deeper understanding about an issue. Here, everyone has the freedom of expression, provided it does not hurt other’s personal sentiments. The persons who exchange ideas cannot come into a conclusion about the discussion. The audience or those who listen are the real adjudicators.

In my opinion the members should post when they have something worthwhile to say and not only for filling up a slot. I would never reply to any post until I am addressed to or a point not said before by any other member. Merely saying yes to everyone does not solve the purpose of a discussion.

On the contrary indiscriminate posting of same thing said again and again and unnecessary posts to each and every thing comes from old members, not new. On the same note, I may add that some of the very promising new members have been put off from this site by unnecessary rudeness and brashness of old members. So while we keep harping on inviting quality members, there are certain old and senior ones who persist in their rudeness which drives off good people. Something that I have pointed to you previously a number of times.
I agree Kalyani, too many unnecessary posts just to get points spoils the quality of the discussion and many a times you may want to post but the fact that you may not get the information but another overlapping view deters me to post in many discussions.There is also a great deal of difference between rudeness to new members and getting caught up in a heated discussion..

I think it should not matter what Bapu ate as it makes him no lesser or bigger person than what he was so this thread is closed.

In my opinion, an ideal discussion forum is that where the members can air their opinions sans bias without fear franly.. If there is a truth in the other member's view, with magnanimity one should appreciate and accept wholeheartedly.

Keeping your views in mind you'll have to agree the entire purpose of this thread has no meaning. Bapu was great so it doesn't matter what he ate or how he handled his Brahmcharya and the matter ends at this point. Do you agree with me?
Definitely I agree with you. About Brahmacharya Bapu himself confessed. It matters in no way what his life style is. It's the hole pickers who always look out for some cause or other to make a dent on Bapu's greatness. In that way, as you said the entire discussion has deviated from the facts.

True..in today's world of uncertainty. it is important for the girl to become financially and economically independent before she can get married and settled for all husbands and in-laws may not allow her to complete her education. Yet it is a positive sign that more and more people are becoming quite liberal in terms of girls' education and career.
It is also heartening to see that it is happening in villages where people have begun to understand the importance of education...In my own rural school in higher classes , there are equal or more number of girls and in junior college there are more girls than boys. Girls also tend to do better in studies because they are more focused ..

I too have this habit of collecting personal messages from my family and close friends.My children especially my daughters like to write to me long letters from time to time and I too write to them whenever I feel like expressing myself .I have collected all these letters.It is beautiful going through them.. Whether you have good hand writing or not writing in itself is an at and it should be cultivated right from childhood !
True Usha, such letters and notes, especially from the children are one of the few precious things you want to save for eternity. Ever since he learned to write words, my son has developed the habit of writing notes to me and my husband for even very simple things, eg, once he wanted to eat water melon and I had not gotten around to cutting it, he wrote a note to me "I want to eat water melon" in his tiny handwriting and drew a beautiful picture of a watermelon slice, coloured nicely. I have saved it with the date written on the back side. There are many such similar notes I have saved and will keep saving them. I feel that the notes show not just the learning curve of my son, but also the way he chooses to deal with things and saving those notes will ensure that I cherish and appreciate his creativity.
That is so sweet of him, they can be so adorable at that stage of life when they are beginning to write and speak...I still have some of my children's old school work and they too go through them and joke about it especially the hand writing.My son never liked writing as a result had a bad hand writing but with some effort from me , his dad and his two teachers , it has improved considerably now
