Should hubpages ban paarsurrey?

1. 60

   mevsmyselfposted 14 years ago

   Every time I come to the hubpages forums, all I see is this one Muslim who is posting stuff about how great his religion is all over the place.
   
   I am all in for free speech and expressing your opinion about stuff, but this guy is just unbelievable. It is impossible to reason with him. IMPOSSIBLE.
   
   His arguments are exactly what you will expect from a Muslim who ends all his posts with "I am an Ahmadi peaceful Muslim".
   
   Do you really need to say it again and again?
   
   First of all everyone knows you are a Muslim. And it really doesn't matter if you are peaceful or you beat up your wife and children after you post your stupid arguments on hub pages forums. It is the internet. Are you trying to say that there are peaceful Muslims in the world? We know that every Muslim is not a terrorist. I don't really get why you need to type it every tome you post a message?
   
   I don't know if it's just me or this guy's posts make everyone feel sick to their stomach. In one of his topics, he writes if you believe that your parents exist, then you should believe that Allah exists.
   
   That was his reason.
   
   I don't know if he is trying to preach his religion or what, but he really bringing a bad name to the Muslims of this world.
   
   Any sensible human being who will read his posts and who doesn't have anything against the Muslims will probably think..
   
   "Man, are Muslims really like this? They are f%$%$ing stupid. Al right, I ain't never converting Islam. That's for sure."
   
   So my question is. Will banning such a horrible and insensible person be out of question? He is making the forums a disgusting place to be in.
   
   Will it be a blow on the freedom of speech or will it be a favor done to the hubpages forums?
   
   Cheers,
   I am NOT an Ahmadi peaceful Muslim. (

      "Yes" and "Yes"
      
      So we shouldn't

      I can agree that he is quite insufferable at times, but being annoying isn't really a grounds for banishment.

   The best part about the internet is that ignoring someone is just a click away! Atleast, most of the time. You don't like his threads, just don't read them. I know it's hard, but just ignore. Plenty of other things in life worth all that attention...

      I guess I don't  want him banned. I want him to start reasoning with an open mind. But that seems impossible.
      
      I guess it was a little hypocritical of me. But in my defense, I never said I want him banned, I was just asking a question, should hubpages ban him?

   I don't think he should be banned. He's been here before as "usmanali," and I don't think he was banned then. Its a bit of a mystery then as to why he decided to come on here, again, as this paarsurrey character.
   
   IMHO, banning doesn't make people like him go away in the real world. He has a superiority complex and that's what drives him into this posting spree. He's not the only one like this out there, though. You'd find many like him in various online forums.
   
   I should know - have been to many such forums, where young muslims trash talk westerners and their ways of living, etc., also talk down other religions. It can get quite funny, annoying to some who can't handle it - they get their kicks out of doing precisely that, annoying folks. You can find many threads involving Mr. Usmanali in the forum archives. Here's one thread for your viewing pleasure
   
   http://hubpages.com/forum/topic/17097#post260757
   
   Read on and decide for yourself if this paarsurrey guy hasn't been here before as "usmanali."
